What to Expect on a Trip: Trip length can range from 5 to 7 days. Most days will include paddling 4-10 miles, and portaging between the connecting lakes. A rhythm will be chosen that meets the needs of the group. Components of a typical day include: three meals and snack, 2-5 hours of canoeing/portaging, tearing down and setting up camp, free time and worship times. In the BWCA every campsite has a fire grate for cooking and a fiberglass latrine. Each person will be given a specially-designed pack in which they will carry their own personal gear and a portion of the community gear (i.e. a tent or food bag) Personal packs weigh an average of 40 - 50 pounds. The canoes are lightweight Kevlar canoes that weigh about 50 pounds. Because of the demands of portaging participants are encouraged to be in good physical condition. There will be an orientation before each trip, so pre-trip skill level is not highly important. A week of practicing will help sharpen skills. Plan Your Trip |
