We are stoked to announce the First Annual
September 11-14, 2025
Camp Manito-wish YMCA
Boulder Junction, Wisconsin
After the demise of Rowley's Bay, we decided we wanted to keep the community together, and add to it! At Camp Rutabaga, sea kayaks, recreational kayaks, solo and tandem canoes are all welcome!
We wanted to use a location that contains more options than we could possibly use: Vilas County! There are hundreds of lakes and rivers within 20 minutes of Camp Manito-wish YMCA. We can teach every discipline at every level, from brand new paddlers to experts who want to refresh their skills.
We have large lakes and flowages that will provide challenging conditions for sea kayaks, rivers to teach moving water skills, and picturesque ponds for taking a spin in a recreational kayak, looking for birds or other fantastic flora and fauna that delight the eye and gladen the soul.
You, of course. This is the most inclusive gathering of paddlers even held! You can paddle what you want to paddle. If you're curious, cross over and see what a canoe or kayak feels like! You can learn a lot from stepping outside of your comfort zone, but do so safety with the best kayak and canoe instructors in the country.
For more information, call the store at 608-223-9300, or email
Chloe or
Darren.
We intend to open registration by the end of February.
