Operation Adventure (OA)- WHAT is OA...

OA is the summer camping, hiking, swimming, canoeing, eating, kayaking, splashing, having fun adventure for current 7th and 8th graders in Bloomington. Students join the Adventure for 5 days (4 nights). We begin by heading to the north shore of Lake Superior, camping at Gooseberry State Park. Where we hike, swim and enjoy the rugged terrain and rivers of the North Shore. On Wednesday, we break camp and head to the Brule River State Forest in Wisconsin. While in Wisconsin, we canoe and kayak the Bois Brule River. While on OA we also provide some more personal and relaxing moments to hike with a friend, skip rocks into the lake, explore the flowers, and just talk to peers. During the camping adventure we cook our meals family style over propane grills, griddles, and fry pans. All food except two travel meals are included. It is a wonderful opportunity to experience camping in the beautiful wild parks so close to home.
