Next summer Crew 318 will have a High Adventure Trek through Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan from July X - August X, 2026.

This is a Boundary Waters Trek

The boundary waters between the United States and Canada are teeming with wildlife and have long been the destination for those seeking a premier canoeing experience traveling the routes of the fur trade Voyageurs. After a shakedown of equipment and skills, your group will travel to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness for an exhilarating trek near the historic Gunflint Trail along the US-Canadian border. Moose, black bear, otter, pine martin, and fisher are just a few of the animals that inhabit this area.

We will have one 8 person co-ed Crew, including 2-3 adults. Please note that the number of adult openings is limited.

To sign up for the Boundary Waters Trek, you will need to fill out this form. Availability is first come, first served, and your spot is secured when you turn in a $50 deposit. Deposits are due by9/1/26.

Besides the $50 deposit, an additional payment of $X will be due X/X/X. There will be a separate transportation cost once the Crew is finalized and it is determined if we can carpool, or need to rent a van. The additional cost is estimated to be between $100-$250 per person, so the total cost per person will be between $X - $X. Fundraising opportunities will be available.

To go to Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan, you must be 14-years-old by July X, 2026. You do not have to be 14 today. This trek is being organized through Venturing Crew 318, but you do not need to be a member of the Venturing Crew already to sign up for Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan. You will have to join Venturing Crew 318 prior to the Trek, which is free to members of Troop 318.
