Embark on an unforgettable journey this summer with our weekly sailing and camping adventure in the majestic Apostle Islands!

Each week, join a small group of 9 total explorers for a 4-day, 3-night expedition aboard a sailboat. Navigate the clear waters of Lake Superior, marvel at breathtaking sea caves and towering sandstone cliffs, and discover hidden coves perfect for swimming and sunbathing.

Your adventure includes:

• Expert instruction: No sailing experience needed! Our experienced captain will guide you through the basics of sailing, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
• Comfortable accommodations: Relax while sailing as the sailboat is equipped with comfortable sleeping quarters and a fully equipped kitchen.
• Learn new skills: See how larger sailboats run and operate, learn from an experienced boat captain, and learn how navigation systems can autopilot a boat.
• Unforgettable memories: Create lasting memories and forge new friendships with your fellow adventurers.

Details:

• Capacity: Each week, we can have 8 people join in on the program. The boat captian does not count towards this 8-person limit, so an ideal crew would be 2 adults and 6 youth from the same unit.
• Age Requirement: Participants must be 13 years of age or going into 8th grade to participate.
• Lottery: As we have limited space in the program, participants will sign up for lottery spots. If we have more sign-ups for a week than spots in a week, we will randomly select groups to fill the space.
• Price: The price for the entire week is $700 for both youth and adults. $50 is due as a deposit at the time of registration.
  • The deposit is fully refundable or transferrable to summer camp Tomahawk Scout Camp for those who are not placed into the program.
• Transportation: You will need to provide your own transportation to Bayfield, WI.
• Food: Food is not included and will need to be purchased on your way up. We will share an example menu with food that will pack and cook well while sailing. We recommend stopping in Hayward to pick up food, as there are very few cities on the way up.
• Dates: This program is offered every week Tomahawk Scout Camp is running. You will select your preferred week when registering, but we also ask if you are available for any other weeks so you only need to register once.
• Registrations: Registrations will be transferred to Tomahawk after registration opens for individuals in February. 
• Schedule:
  • On the first day of your session, Sunday, you will check in as usual to Tomahawk Scout Camp.
  • On Monday, we will go over sailing basics, basic chart reading, food plans (see above), and other necessary information for the trip.
  • On Tuesday, you will depart for the Apostle Islands and will pick up food along the way. Then, you will meet the boat captain, get the grand tour, then depart!
  • From Tuesday night through Friday, you'll spend most of your time on the boat sailing. You will sail around the Apostle Islands, take in the views, swim and visit a one or two fo the sites.
  • At night the boat will be anchored or docked at one of the Apostle Islands.  All participants will sleep on the boat. 
  • You'll spend Friday night at your campsite at Tomahawk, then head back home the following morning
