Experiential Learning in Northern Minnesota

Help me give my students transportation to an experience of a lifetime at Camp Widji.

My Students

Our diverse student population comes from all over Minneapolis, the United States, and the world! Though they come from such different backgrounds, they find incredible ways to work together and foster friendships that cross-cultural, language, and socio-economic differences. For many of our low-income students living in the heart of Minneapolis, experiencing the natural outdoors is not an everyday opportunity. We are so excited to have the chance to take our students up to Camp Widjiwagen this spring, but we need your help!

My Project

This project will make a difference in students' lives by allowing them to learn first hand about environmental sustainability and the natural world! At Camp Widjiwagen students will learn about eco-systems, sustainability, Native American history, and greek mythology.

This trip will inspire our students to find learning, beauty, and community in the outdoors.

For many of our students, this will be the first experience outside of the city. Students will develop their confidence, curiousness, and self-reflection while learning how to ice-fish, hike, leave no trace, and survive in the Minnesota winter. They will strengthen relationships and create memories that will last a lifetime.
