Youth Adventure Days

The guides know these waters. Your tween-teens are about to.

A Youth Adventure Day is exactly what it sounds like — a microadventure. A real one. Five hours on the Les Cheneaux Islands in a sea kayak, completely unplugged, doing something most tween-teens have never done and didn't know they could.

The day unfolds on the water. Navigating between islands, keeping an eye out for wildlife for those with keen eyes, stopping for a lunch break somewhere worth the paddle to get there. Nobody's looking at a screen, not because we say so, just because they'll be busy doing something active that there won't be room for it. Depending on where you land, a short hike might find its way into the day too.

We offer two ways to make it happen:

For Organized Youth Groups 
This isn't a lazy tubing float trip down a river. This is a guided kayaking tour in one of the most extraordinary island chains in the Great Lakes, where the guides intentionally challenge stamina, build cooperation, and create the conditions for every young person to discover something new about what they're actually made of.

For Local EUP Youth 
You've grown up looking at these islands from the mainland shore. This is the trip that changes that, and thanks to a grant from Islands Wildlife, it's free.
