Alumni Reunion: come for a weekend of activities and memories
Mark your calendars and tell your canoe base friends - the Northern Lakes Alumni Association Annual Meeting is Saturday, September 13th!
While we always enjoy reconnecting in person when we can, our online annual meeting offers a convenient way for alumni near and far to come together, celebrate our shared history, and help shape the future of the association.
You may be wondering, "Why should I attend?" Great question! The annual meeting is your opportunity to:
Hear updates on canoe base programming and needs
Learn about upcoming events and initiatives (Summer 2027 is reunion time)
Share your ideas and feedback
Connect with fellow alumni from across the country
Help guide the direction of the association for the coming year
Most importantly, your participation matters. The Northern Lakes Alumni Association exists because of the engagement and support of alumni like you. Whether you've attended every event or haven't connected with us in a while, your voice, perspective, and enthusiasm help keep our alumni community vibrant and strong.
The meeting is also a wonderful reminder that no matter where life has taken us, we all share a special connection through our Northern Lakes experience.
We hope you'll join us online for this important gathering. Together, we can celebrate our past, strengthen our present, and build an even brighter future for the Northern Lakes Canoe Base.
We look forward to seeing you online!

Help prepare the Northern Lakes Canoe Base for summer by cleaning up brush piles and trails, raking leaves, clearing campsites and more. A great day for the entire family. Each participant will receive a $15 credit toward summer program/camp registration fees at any of our camp programs. Bring a bag lunch for picnic lunch.
We gathered on August 22 to discuss the summer 2025 season, elect Stephanie McDaniel, and make plans for the upcoming year.
Work weekends in late May helped prepare the Canoe Base for a great 2025 season!
Dust off your paddles and grab your friends, family, and Duluth packs - it's time to head north and gather under the towering pines and sparkling night skies of the great North Woods! The 2025 Northern Lakes Canoe Base Alumni Reunion is officially set for Friday, July 11 through Sunday, July 13. We can't wait to see you back at the place that helped shape so many adventures, friendships, and stories worth retelling around the campfire.
Info sessions were held in 2024 for prospective participants and their parents/leaders looking to take a trip with us in summer 2025 or beyond.
