About

History

Widjiwagan was founded in 1929 as a wilderness adventure program in northeastern Minnesota. Throughout our 80 plus year history, young people have been inspired by the Widji wilderness experience.

Programs

The focus is wilderness and teens. In the summer, Widji provides wilderness canoeing and backpacking trips for 12-18-year olds throughout North America. During the school year, Widji operates an Outdoor Learning Program to teach leadership skills, environmental education courses and team building.
