New Program in 2024:

Apostle Islands Sailing on Lake Superior

Embark on an unforgettable journey this summer with our weekly sailing and camping adventure in the majestic Apostle Islands on Lake Superior!



Each week, join a small group of 9 total explorers for a 4-day, 3-night expedition aboard a sailboat. Navigate the clear waters of Lake Superior, marvel at breathtaking sea caves and towering sandstone cliffs, and discover hidden coves perfect for swimming and sunbathing.

Your adventure includes:

• Expert instruction: No sailing experience needed! Our experienced captain will guide you through the basics of sailing, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
• Comfortable accommodations: Relax while sailing as the sailboat is equipped with comfortable sleeping quarters and a fully equipped kitchen.
• Learn new skills: See how larger sailboats run and operate, learn from an experienced boat captain, and learn how navigation systems can autopilot a boat.
• Unforgettable memories: Create lasting memories and forge new friendships with your fellow adventurers.

How to Sign Up:

• This program has a very limited capacity, and as such we will start the sign up process with a Program Request Period.
• This Program Request Period will run from December 15th to January 15th.
• There is a $50 deposit per person to request a spot. If you are not awarded a spot your deposit will be refunded or forwarded to summer camp.
• On January 16th, if we have more sign-ups for a week than spots in a week, we will randomly select groups to fill the space.

Details:

• Capacity: Each week, we can have 8 people join in on the program. The boat captian does not count towards this 8-person limit, so an ideal crew would be 2 adults and 6 youth from the same unit.
• Price: The price for the entire week is $700 for both youth and adults. $50 is due as a deposit at the time of registration. The $700 takes the place of the Tomahawk summer camp. It is not in addition to the Tomahawk fee.
• The deposit is fully refundable or transferrable to summer camp Tomahawk Scout Camp for those who are not placed into the program.
• Food: Food on the ship is not included and troops will need to purchase it on their way to Bayfield from camp. We will share an example menu with food that will pack and cook well while sailing. We recommend stopping in Hayward to pick up food, as there are very few cities on the way up. Camp will provide you ice and a cooler.
• Dates: This program is offered every week Tomahawk Scout Camp is running. You will select your preferred week when registering, but we also ask if you are available for any other weeks so you only need to register once.
• Schedule:
• On the first day of your session, Sunday, you will check in as usual to Tomahawk Scout Camp.
• On Monday, we will go over sailing basics, basic chart reading, food plans (see above), and other necessary information for the trip.
• On Tuesday, you will depart for the Apostle Islands and will pick up food along the way. Then, you will meet the boat captain, get the grand tour, then depart!
• From Tuesday night through Friday, you'll spend most of your time on the boat sailing. You will sail around the Apostle Islands, take in the views, swim and visit a one or two fo the sites.
• At night the boat will be anchored or docked at one of the Apostle Islands.  All participants will sleep on the boat. 
• You'll spend Friday night at your campsite at Tomahawk, then head back home the following morning
