Stockton offers impressive cliffs, beautiful sand beaches, quarries, as well as miles and miles of hiking trails. It also boasts one of the highest densities of black bear in North America. Don't worry though, there are food lockers provided, and you few are lucky enough to spot one of these native animals. They try to stay away from people, as long as camps are kept neat and clean. Oak has some of the best hiking in the islands, a beautiful sand spit, a hidden cave, and half a dozen other nearby islands to explore as day trips, including Manitou Island and its historic fish camp.
Day trips can consist of several short paddles or longer, more demanding crossings.
All activities will place an emphasis on cultural, historical, and wilderness education. Our guides are prepared to accommodate both novice and experienced campers. Our Island Base Camp trip will teach you the techniques of sea kayaking and allow your family or group of friends to spend time together as you explore the wonders of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. On your four day trip you will have an opportunity to view several of the 22 Apostle Islands. All islands have natural histories rich with evidence dating back to the last ice age.
