Our Philosophy
In 1951, Camp Voyageur was founded on the simple premise that personal growth is fostered through group interaction in a wilderness setting.
The emphasis at Camp Voyageur is on having fun in the great outdoors. Campers enjoy a casual pace of athletics balanced with excursions canoeing and hiking in the nearby wilderness. Living and working together in the northwoods kindles an appreciation for the simple pleasures of life, good friends, good food, exercise and Ma Nature.
A summer at Voyageur has sparked in many a life-long affection for the solitude, beauty and challenge of these northwoods. The highlights of each session are high-adventure canoe and backpack trips into the adjoining wilderness preserves of the U.S. and Canada. By traveling in small groups, boys learn personally the meaning of cooperation and hard work. Rigorous wilderness trips build muscle, character and a stewardship for the land. Each trip is unique and unforgettable. Campers return home more confident and self-reliant after sharing the pleasures and rigors of outdoor living.
