| The Audubon Center of the North Woods is a leader in offering meaningful nature experiences to people of all ages and through the rekindling of our North Woods Wilderness School summer camp program this summer, we will provide a different kind of summer camp experience – an opportunity to engage kids in nature through a variety of outdoor activities that promote environmental awareness, compassion and an ethic of care for the earth. |

Parents… Why should you send your child to
the North Woods Wilderness School?
Research has proven that kids need to be kids, and have time to play – not video games – but to play outside! The health benefits of outdoor play are numerous; mental, physical and emotional health increase with time in the outdoors. Our long history of outdoor education is proof that we believe in the power of nature to educate, heal, strengthen, motivate, relax, enlighten, and rejuvenate.
The programs that we are offering this summer will provide an atmosphere that is safe, caring, and fun for young people. We offer several weeks of camp, with each week advancing in age and skill level, complimented by a thematic focus that connects both ecology and wilderness skills with carefully planned activities that align with Minnesota State Academic Standards for that particular age level. Different themes, activities, and destinations (for the 14-17 yr-old school) will be offered each summer to avoid repetition, as participants advance to the next level of the North Woods Wilderness School.
We are accredited as a school by NCA CITA (North Central Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement). Our staff is caring, engaging, knowledgeable, first-aid and CPR-certified, as well as life-guard certified.

This summer's North Woods Wilderness School camps are
(click on camp names for brief description):
Accommodations will be in our Crosby Lodge (unless overnight camping is specified). Each room sleeps up to 8 people, featuring solid wood bunks, and private bathroom facilities. We provide delicious and nutritious meals, served cafeteria style in the dining room.
Each camp will be aligned with the appropriate MN State Academic Standards, so schools are invited to take advantage of
this opportunity by seeking summer school funding.
