Bluestone Summer Camp
Residential coed summer camp
Bluestone offers four one week camping sessions in June and July. Our Resident Program will accomodate youth entering 3rd through 10th Grade, and our Trip Camps are for high school youth entering 10th through 12th Grades.
Our Summer Camping Program is based on a small group philosophy, which consists of one female and one male counselor to a group of around 10-12 kids. A week at Bluestone will provide campers with excellent opportunities for spiritual and personal growth, for meeting new friends, learning new skills, and challenging themselves.
In addition to daily arts and crafts, swim time and song time, Resident Campers have a daily bible study based on the theme of the summer. Hikes, creek walks, canoeing, sleeping out under the stars, nightly vespers, cookouts and s'mores are just some of the many other things to look forward to at Bluestone! Trip Campers can look forward as well to whitewater canoeing and rafting experiences, as well as other adventure activities depending upon which week they attend.
YMCA Camp Widjiwagan
Wilderness Adventure Program
Widjiwagan was founded in 1929 as a wilderness adventure program in the wilds of northeastern Minnesota. Throughout this colorful 79-year history, young people have been inspired by the Widji wilderness experience.
The real magic of a Widji experience happens in the wilderness. For canoe groups, this might mean paddling out of camp or getting dropped off on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness or Quetico Provincial Park. For backpack groups, this means driving west to the mountains or east to the Isle Royale or the Superior Hiking Trail. Once groups go 'on trail' they spend the rest of their session in the wilderness. They move most days and camp in different places most nights. Free from distractions of civilization, groups get to know each other and come together to accomplish their goals. On trail is where friendships form and memories are made!
