Story

Sponsor a Skier at the Birkie! Each skier of any age can become their own fundraiser or you could donate directly to the cause. I am asking for your support of our goal to buy 3 new Kevlar Canoes for our program.

Your donation helps thousands of campers explore the waterways of Minnesota and Canada for years to come. These boats complement our wooden canoe fleet by offering a lighter-weight option that improves efficiency on portages and allows campers to travel farther.

From the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota, Widji is uniquely situated to provide access to some of the finest wilderness areas in North America. Four generations of young lives, spanning over eighty years, have been transformed by a Widjiwagan experience. Through wilderness travel and environmental learning experiences during the entire year, they have built leadership skills, gained confidence and explored extraordinary places.
