Every summer Bearskin guests have the opportunity to participate in Bearskin Lodge’s renowned complimentary nature-based activity program for our guests. Race leeches, learn to canoe, become a log-roller. Paint a Lake Superior rock, weave a friendship bracelet, collect and dry the leaves for a natural Northwoods tea. Watch for Northern Lights, then design a creation around the beautiful night sky you’ve seen.

There will usually be at least 3 classes daily on Monday – Friday, generally targeted to different age groups so we have something fun for everyone. Each year Bearskin offers a mix of old favorites and fresh new ideas. We have a full-time creative teacher on staff who has been part of the Bearskin family for several years now; Annette has a huge big-time fan club of Bearskin kids who come back year after year to do activities with her. Other staff members have a chance to join the fun on Fridays and during our more limited weekend offerings.

You’re here to be away from the real world and enjoy nature, but families tell us they appreciate having time during each week when they weren’t the ones who had to plan the ideas. We get it. You’ll see the kids who live at Bearskin participating in almost every activity for the same reason!

Make memories together with your entire family, sharing creative time together. These are the times you’ll always want to remember.
