Laketrails' program is designed with the teenage camper in mind. We believe in the ability of an adventure-filled, physical and mental challenge to empower teens to build relationships and grow in understanding of their own giftedness.

The heart of our program is a five-to-six-day wilderness canoe trip catered to the experience level of each individual group. Campers have the opportunity to choose what type of trip they wish to take, and they become instrumental in planning and carrying out the trip. In the process, they grow in understanding and appreciation of their own abilities and learn how to work well with others to accomplish a common goal all while disconnecting from the daily grind of the concrete jungle.

Over 50% of the youth that come to Laketrails each year receive financial assistance provided through the Laketrails Campership Fund.

Keeping our camp well maintained and accessible to all teens has been made possible over the last 70 years by generous donations from Laketrails friends and family. We are eternally grateful for your support in helping us in continue to carry out our mission to inspire teens with an appreciation of self, community, and environment through a wilderness canoeing adventure.

Laketrails is a registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization under Minnesota state law.
