YMCA of the North

Canoeing and Leadership in the Northwoods...

Our youth leadership development expeditions are a great way to develop your leadership skills, be a part of a close-knit team, and have fun in the wilderness.

The Boundary Waters are world-renowned for their pristine waters and stunning views. You’ve never seen anything quite like the stars and moons reflecting off a perfectly still lake.

Just what you are looking for.

Our trips are operated by four different YMCA summer camps, allowing us to offer sessions that meet a diversity of needs, interests, and goals. With more than 40 trips each summer, we have something for everyone.

Join us; you won’t regret it.

We’ll help you find an expedition that will challenge and inspire you. Sign up for a unique experience.
