About Us

NORTHWOODS ADVENTURE SUMMER PROGRAM

"Many of our fondest childhood memories
come from the summer activities we have
all experienced while growing up. It is our
pleasure to share this knowledge and
experience with the students choosing to
participate in Northwoods Adventure."

Northwoods Adventure, located on
Erickson Lake near Tenstrike, Mn. U.S.A., is
an outdoor summer camp program based
on Experiential Education with the English
language as the primary medium of
communication and learning. The
program is led by international school
teachers from Brazil, Japan, Canada, and
the U.S.

A 3:1 camper to counselor ratio allows
Northwoods Adventure staff members to
be actively involved in all daily routines and
activities, providing individualized attention
and support for all campers.

Larry, often considered the
most popular Counselor, has
personal strengths and
attributes that are unrivaled
at camp. A great listener, and
friend to all, Larry often has to
sneak away for a siesta now
and then to keep his sanity.
In Loving Memory, R.I.P.
