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.
