Junior Naturalists

Entering Grades 10-11
Lake Superior is truly an extraordinary place. The lake’s pristine beauty and frigid waters inspire and awe visitors alike. Equally special is the watershed, where forests, wetlands, lakes and bedrock cover the landscape and lively trout streams tumble toward the lake. Did you know that Lake Superior contains one-tenth of the world’s supply of fresh water, 95% of the United States’ supply of fresh water, and one-half of all the water in the Great Lakes? Together with naturalists, researchers and fellow campers, kayak and explore this global treasure.

1-Week In-Camp Focus

Combine learning and forming tight-knit friendships with a healthy dose of fun! Explore the ecology and diversity of Minnesota’s many lakes and rivers, participate in research with biologists and kayak on Lake Superior. Campers will leave the week more confident in their naturalist and research skills.
