You define what family means to you.  If it includes grandma and grandpa, great! If it includes cousins, great! If it includes the neighbor who is the chosen auntie, great!  Gather your family and head to Wilderness Canoe Base for a rejuvenating summer experience.  Family Island Camp runs Thursdays-Sundays (one exception noted below) on beautiful Fishhook and Dominion Islands. A variety of WCB staff led programs and self-guided opportunities are available.  Whether you’re paddling across the lake, hiking around the islands or tackling a crafting challenge, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. You can also unwind in the sauna, take a refreshing lake jump, or sign up for a BWCA day trip to one of the 101 islands on Seagull Lake.  In the evenings, enjoy a campfire and vespers services.

This flexible and fun-filled experience allows families to enjoy both relaxation and adventure while connecting with one another in the serene and healing beauty of God’s creation. Whether you’re looking to explore, bond, or simply relax, Wilderness Family Island Camp is the perfect place to create lasting memories with your loved ones.
