If you don’t feel prepared to tackle a multi-day BWCAW canoe camping trip just yet, you may want to consider a WWD Workshop. Please contact us with your own ideas for the workshop you’re looking for. We’d love to create the opportunity that will best suit your needs.

In our workshop environment, which includes both indoor & outdoor hands-on learning, you’ll learn methods and skills that can enhance your experience, increase your comfort level, and help keep you safe. You’ll be able to fine tune your skill set for a better camping experience, summer or winter.
