​Untethered Adventures 

WILDERNESS CANOE TRIP 
​
GENERAL INFORMATION

 Dear Participant/Parent: 
Your son or daughter has displayed an interest in our summer wilderness canoe trip program for adventurous young men and women, ages 14-20. 
Untethered Adventures has a 50 year tradition of traveling with high school students in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). This canoe trip provides the students with the opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful wild country in North America. The BWCAW has tens of thousands of cool freshwater lakes that afford almost more water than land. For years, students have met the challenge of the BWCAW: fishing, swimming in clear clean lakes, observing and photographing wildlife in their natural habitat, and exploring backcountry lakes and rivers. 
This trip will depart Centerville, Ohio on Thursday, June 5th and will return to Centerville on Thursday, June 12th 2025. 
The following is an introduction to our program and its inclusions. 
• Round trip ground transportation from Centerville, Ohio to Ely, Minnesota. 
• All lodging on the trip to and from Ely, Minnesota. 
• Complete canoe outfitting for the 5-day wilderness trip, including canoes, paddles, life jackets, packs, tents, cooking equipment, etc. The student need only provide their sleeping bag, clothing, and personal items.  However, we do offer rental sleeping bags and sleeping pads (please check the box at the bottom of the application if you are interested in renting from equipment) 
• All meals while at base camp. 
• Three nutritionally balanced meals for each day of the expedition. Combinations of fresh, freeze-dried,    
     and dehydrated foods make for meals that are delicious yet lightweight and easy to prepare. 
• Experienced wilderness facilitators with more than 60 years of combined experience. 
The total cost of the complete trip package is $1300.00 (CHS discounted rate $940). Registration will be strictly on a first come, first served basis. Untethered Adventures reserves the right to refuse any application. A registration fee of $350.00 is required with the application. 
We would be happy to entertain your questions personally by calling Kyle at (937) 321-6920 or Scott at (937)  901-7565 or emailing us at [email protected].
