VLM Boundary Waters Canoe Trip 2021

The trip is at capacity, but you are still invited to be involved by becoming a Paddling Partner


August 1-7, 2021 youth will be traveling through Voyageurs Lutheran Ministry to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness. This experience includes two nights at camp, and four nights/five days in the boundary waters , where youth will paddle, portage, and explore God’s Great Northwoods while also engaging in meaningful bible studies, personal faith exploration, and worship. We are so excited to be offering this opportunity to youth this year, but we cannot do it alone! The trip costs roughly $600 per person for all food, transportation, etc.


We are inviting YOU to be a part of the journey!  As we prepare for our journey,we are seeking “Paddling Partners”.


What is a Paddling Partner? Paddling Partners are individuals or families who are committed to supporting this experience through any amount of monetary donation. Any and all sponsorship is appreciated and ALL Paddling Partners (and anyone who otherwise contributes to this trip!) will be invited to a post-trip dinner or otherwise honored for your support. The trip participants will reflect on their experience and share some of our experiences with our paddling partners.


Please note that the nature of the post-trip event will be influenced by COVID guidelines from the CDC, MDH, and NEMN Synod at the time.


You are welcome to mail in or drop off donations at Zion Lutheran Church. Please attach a note or put a memo that it is for the Boundary Waters Trip.


If you have questions, please call in to the office or  email Katie at

katie.anderson@zioncloquet.org. Thank you so much for your consideration and support!
