Wild and Well: A Weekend Adventure at Camp Widjiwagan

Step back to a simpler time—when the scent of fresh pine, the crackle of a fire, and the camaraderie of a rustic lodge defined the season. Wild and Well invites you to immerse yourself in the timeless spirit of the Northwoods at Camp Widjiwagan, where tradition and wellness meet.

Shape wood into handcrafted canoes, savor hearty meals, enjoy hands-on cooking experiences, and embrace the restorative warmth of the sauna. Explore winding trails on a guided night hike, cast your line into glassy waters, and discover other outdoor pursuits that feed both body and soul.

From the quiet peace of early morning on the lake to the raucous fun shared over an evening meal, Wild and Well is more than a getaway—it’s a return to the lodge life of generations past, reimagined for today.

Itinerary will include:

  • Canoe building with our master canoe builder
  • Fishing
  • Cooking experiences
  • Outdoor Adventure Fitness
  • Introduction to Forest Bathing
  • And More!
