Camp Voyageur is a private camp for boys 9-17 founded by the Erdmann family in 1951. Ideally located next to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota, wilderness camping (canoeing, hiking and sea kayaking) is our speciality. In camp we have an extensive program of land sports: tennis, basketball, archery, volleyball, soccer, ultimate Frisbee plus water sports: sailing, water skiing, sailboarding, swimming, canoeing, kayaking and more. Campers enjoy other residential in camp activities such as fishing, arts/crafts, drama etc, and day trips rock climbing, hiking and canoeing. Camp Voyageur is fully accredited by the American Camping Association and we maintain a ratio of one well trained counselor to four boys. All counselors are at least in college, and many have graduated. Counselors who lead trips have current certification in CPR, Wilderness First Aid and Lifeguard Training. Our activities nurture self reliance and independence.

At Camp Warren we believe that a session of camp can make a profound impact on a young person’s life. The Summer of 2012 is shaping up to be another fantastic year. I hope you’ll join us for at least one of our unique single-gender camp sessions.

While at Warren, campers have the opportunity to live independently in a supportive community where they can: meet new friends, try new activities, explore the natural world and gain self-reliance. Activities are designed with skill progression in mind but in a non-competitive atmosphere. For over 80 years, our well trained, energetic staff team (most of whom were once campers themselves) has provided the environment to foster this growth.
