Fort Wilderness launches new adventure trips
Six trips are planned in 2023, organizers said in a press release.
These adventure trips include backpacking in Tennessee, canoeing the Namekagon River, fishing in Lake of the Woods Canada, and hiking the trails of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
"Twenty-five years ago, my late son Payton and I hiked Grand Canyon on a Fort led trip - it was a memory of a lifetime!" Fort Wilderness executive director Todd Leyden shared in a press release announcing the program.
Fort Wilderness welcomes campers from near and far for year-round camps. These new adventure programs are notable for local residents as they take adventurers out of the Northwoods to new sights and new experiences.
The six trips in 2023 are offered for different ages - some specific to high-school and college-aged students while others are parent-child trips that focus on special time between parent and child.
"Spending time outdoors, specifically in nature, along with time in community is a growing desire of many. These Journey Beyond trips provide both the time in nature and a community of about 12 campers and 3 staff," noted Adventure Program Manager Gunnar Koehn. "It will surely be an unforgettable and impactful experience."
