2010 Trip CalendarNo matter which trip you choose, you can count on fun, connection, laughter, silence, peace, and natural beauty. All trips are designed to help you slow down, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy both solitude as well as the camaraderie of extraordinary women. While most women come on Wild Institute trips on their own, some bring a sister, mother, partner, or friend. What you don’t see listed on the trip calendar are the custom trips—those designed for groups of friends, families, work groups, etc. This year, for example, we are running a whitewater weekend/birthday bash for a large group of friends; a week in the Boundary Waters for a family with kids, and another week in the Boundary Waters for a group of friends from a Martial Arts club. To learn more about creating your own custom trip, click here. Not every trip is offered every year. If you have a dream trip/destination in mind and don’t see it on the calendar, it’s a great opportunity to design a custom trip or inquire as to when we’ll be offering it. Chances are if we haven’t done the trip of your dreams, we know someone who has.
So whether you come on your own or bring a group, we look forward to adventuring with you. May we all have opportunities to feel at home in wild places… 2010 Winter Trips

Apostle Islands Sea Kayaking New to kayaking or want a little refresher before paddling on Lake Superior? No problem. We begin at a cabin-based homestead in northern Minnesota. We’ll spend a couple days paddling on beautiful creeks and small lakes, touching up skills, having a ball. Then we’ll head to Bayfield and spend the rest of the week on one of the Apostle Islands setting up a comfy base camp and taking day trips out to various islands, hiking, exploring, eating great food, soaking up the beauty of the great lake.
