Ideal for first-time campers looking for an introduction to the Widji experience and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Campers will learn the basic skills of canoeing, camping, and navigation in a fun and supportive environment.
A typical Intro trail group consists of two Widji Trail Counselors and four campers, with a maximum group size of up to six campers. After two to three days of training and orientation at Widji, groups hit the trail for six to ten days in the BWCAW.
Although canoeing and portaging can be demanding, working as a team allows campers to accomplish a lot more together than they could as individuals. All campers are expected to pitch in and do their share of the work, carrying packs and tents across portages which may be up to a mile long!
