Women's Mindful Paddling & BWCA Camp Out: The Next Step 

About

This weekend takes place in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and at the Points Unknown homestead in the remote north woods of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region.

It is led by Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) Dog Sledding Instructor and Points Unknown owner Linda Newman, and Windcradle's Mary Ellen Ashcroft, Creative Writing Instructor for the Grand Marais Art Colony and canoe guide with 25 years' experience.
