More About Camp
Long Lake's summer programs are ideal for young people who want to enjoy friends, fun, and outdoor experiences. Long Lake campers join a welcoming setting with other young people, energetic counselors and a professional staff.
Long Lake's 760 acres are a beautiful location for canoeing, orienteering, games, bog-trekking, archery, and other activities. Great games and cooperation challenges provide fun as well as teamwork skills. Our campers experience nature first-hand with the guidance of expert naturalists. They have the opportunity to explore ecology and learn about wildlife.
Campers join our friendly community on a modern campus, where the home-cooked meals are famous. The North Star Lodge is home for a week, with four to seven campers sharing a cabin. Each room has a shower, toilet, and sink facilities.
With more than 40 years experience in summer programs, Long Lake is the original program of its kind in Minnesota. Respect for ourselves, others, and the earth is key to Long Lake's programs, in every aspect of the experience.
