Camp Voyageur

At Camp Voyageur, we believe that the great outdoors has the power to transform young lives. For over 70 years, we've been providing boys with an unforgettable summer experience that combines adventure, friendship, and personal growth. Our mission is to foster the personal growth of each child through group interaction in a wilderness setting, encouraging independence, teamwork, and a deeper connection with nature.

Our Services

Our camp offers a wide range of activities designed to challenge and engage boys aged 10 to 18. From sports and fitness to music and crafts, we provide a diverse program that caters to every interest. Our wilderness trips are a highlight, taking boys into the adjacent Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and beyond, where they develop camping skills and a sense of adventure that lasts a lifetime. Our expert staff ensures a safe and supportive environment, where boys can thrive and grow.

Our History

Camp Voyageur was founded in 1951 by Charlie Erdmann, a pioneer in outdoor education. His vision was to create a place where boys could learn and grow through hands-on experiences in nature. Today, his legacy continues through his children and grandchildren, who have expanded the camp's offerings to include more extensive wilderness trips and activities. Our commitment to excellence has earned us accreditation from the American Camp Association.

Community

At the heart of our camp is the community. Boys live together in small cabins, sharing responsibilities and forming lifelong friendships. Our emphasis on teamwork and cooperation encourages boys to support each other, building character and confidence. From the daily routine of inspection, activities, meals, and free swim to the excitement of our special events, every moment is designed to promote a sense of belonging and camaraderie.
