YMCA Camp Widjiwagan

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!
