V. Freedman (parent)Now my younger child wants to go too! My son loves this program. And has gone 2 years in a row. Next year both kids get to come! |
D. Hindes (parent)Hard work, big fun! I went (years ago). Two of my kids have gone (and are demanding to go back). If this is your type of thing, this is an amazing camp. |
John Hardy (parent)Overall great camp! Both of my kids and a niece have been to this camp and they all said that it was a life changing experience. I am now sending my 2 grandkids, and hopefully they will feel the same way. Overall great camp! |
Jake B (alumnus)Deep respect for the land and river Changed my life. I started with an Excalibur trip, then sturgeon river, Dumoine river, and then the Bay trip. I truly think this program helped me become who I am today. I found a deep respect of the land and river. Highly recommend this camp to anyone. |
John Fretz (parent)A camp to help kids grow My son (10) and daughter (13) went on two-week trips in 2022. It was a great experience and one they want to repeat next year. If you are looking for a camp to push your child and help them grow, this is it. |

They’ve been running trips successfully, impressively, since 1971 when Langskib, the boys’ program, was founded. Northwaters, the girls’ program, has been run since 1985. Of course, the mission and approach is the same for both, namely to get kids out of their comfort zones, while remaining very much in their safety zones. The challenge is personal, and comes from interacting meaningfully with others around some core challenges. The trips are an opportunity to get beyond screens, fully immersed in the natural world. Participants are granted an entrée, as well, into the culture and natural history of the region from people who have lived it, and represent it. For a majority, the trips are transformative, often in unexpected ways.
