hikers on outpost trip

There are many challenges to life on the Trail and even more rewards. Like marveling at sights few will ever see. Viewing wildlife in their natural habitat. Dishing up creative new cuisine. And taking the road far-less-traveled, if it was ever traveled at all. No, the experience isn’t exactly like a five-star hotel. But the 1,000,000-star sky has a way of making up for it.

Camp Manito-wish YMCA secures permits with the following: Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Custer Gallatin National Forest, Gates of the Arctic National Park, Isle Royale National Park, Nez Perce – Clearwater National Forest, Noatak National Park, Ontario Crown Land, Pukaskwa National Park, Quetico Provincial Park, Shoshone National Forest, Superior National Forest, Tongass National Forest, and Voyageurs National Park.

Outpost Wilderness Trip experiences are fun and rewarding but also present physical and emotional challenges. Please review our Wilderness Tripping Essential Eligibility Criteria to help you consider whether a wilderness trip is an appropriate experience for your participant.
