Paddle with UML's Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) into one of the most breathtaking wilderness areas in the country, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota. Spend seven days canoeing through the "land of 10,000 lakes," navigating crystal-clear lakes, portaging through pine forests, camping under the stars, and unplugging from everyday stress. This trip is about adventure, community and challenge—no experience needed, just a willingness to try something new. If you’re craving fresh air, lifelong memories and a true backcountry experience, this is your chance. Guides, gear and food, plus van transportation to and from Minnesota included.
Aug. 4-16, 2026. Open to all current students, alumni (recent or a while ago!), as well as faculty/staff, and guests of those.

OAP Special Events page for more description and details!!
