To develop, in young people, respect for self, community and the environment, through wilderness adventure and environmental education.

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.
