| In keeping with its YMCA mission, DuNord offers a wide range of supervised activities. They usually schedule age specific programs in the mornings, family activities in the afternoons, and such things as cookouts, campfires, storytelling, skits and musical jam sessions (in which various campers bring their own instruments) in the evenings. Kids can be enrolled in canoeing, kayaking, sailing, swimming, fishing, snorkelling, hiking, camping, nature studies, arts, crafts and wilderness skills. Special instruction for groups can be arranged with advance notice. |

DuNord's location is close to several campsites along Burntside Lake, and to portaging trails into Slim and Crab Lakes. North Arm runs north-south, so is less susceptible to the east-west axis of the wind, and avoids the wave action of the main lake. You could portage directly from DuNord back into Slim Lake, for a one day paddling and fishing trip. If your primary goal in coming to the Boundary Waters is to get back into the wilderness lakes, this might be ideal. 2125 East Hennepin Suite 150, Minneapolis, Mn. 55413. www.DuNord.org. 651-645-66. |
