The Boundary Waters Experience (BWX) team works hard to bring you the best possible wilderness adventures. Each expedition promotes community, compassion, and personal growth in following God in the ways of Jesus Christ. Here you’ll find our latest challenging outdoor journeys suited for the adventurous Christian spirit!

Weeklong Experience (For Everyone)

This trip begins on Saturday and ends mid-day the following Friday. You will begin your trip by arriving in the late afternoon to our base camp. This first evening is spent as an orientation time for participants before they are launched on the trail the following morning.  After six days of adventure, groups exit the wilderness mid-day on Friday, with a brief stop at the base camp to packing and saying good-byes, before heading home.

Short Trip (For Adults)

The Short Trip begins on a Saturday morning and ends mid-day the following Tuesday. Groups are asked to arrive early in the day on Saturday. Participants will receive a two hour orientation and will then be launched into the BWCAW. Participants will be on trail for the next four days experiencing God’s creation. On Tuesday groups will exit the BWCAW and will be on their way home shortly there after.
