Description
To develop, in young people, respect for self, community and the environment, through wilderness adventure and environmental education.
From the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota, Widji is uniquely situated to provide access to some of the finest wilderness areas in North America.
Widjiwagan was founded in 1929 as a wilderness adventure program in the wilds of northeastern Minnesota. Throughout this colorful 79-year history, young people have been inspired by the Widji wilderness experience.
The focus is wilderness and teens...In the summer, Widji provides wilderness trips for 12-18-year olds throughout North America. During the school year, Widji is ready to collaborate with a variety of organizations to provide leadership development for teens based on the wilderness experience.
