This camp is for Boys only, 9-18 years old.

Founded and operated by the Erdmann family since 1951, Camp Voyageur has specialized in sending boys on extended canoe, kayak and hiking trips in the adjacent Boundary Waters Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park. While in camp, boys do the usual activities of any other camp: crafts, soccer, basketball, volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee, archery, swimming, skiing, fishing and wakeboarding. But about half of your time at camp you will be on the trail; canoeing, backpacking or kayaking in the largest canoe wilderness in the world, the BWCAW, which is right out our front door. Come join the two or three generations of young men who have learned to love the wilderness and made friends from all over the world while doing so.
