Stewards for Tomorrow is designed for youth years old interested in exploring the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and becoming a steward of the park. Our goal is to provide fifty local youth with the opportunity to experience the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior as part of the 50th anniversary of the park and support them in becoming stewards to protect and preserve the park in the future.

Girls Empowered is for girls years old interested in getting outside, working hard, playing hard and learning what it means to be a confident steward of this Earth. For four days, we will share stories, learn stories of the area and make stories of our own!

Each morning we will rise from our tents and head out to volunteer on trails, cutting and maintaining bike, ski and hiking trails for future use. In the afternoons and evenings we will explore, recreate and enjoy land and water trails in the area. Youth Connect Trails offers overnight, full day and half day programs. We work with students in grades , providing peer leadership and support as part of the program. During YCT programs, participants engage service learning projects, gaining outdoor skills and stewardship, while also given opportunities to gain confidence, increase self-esteem, enhance communication skills and reflect on personal and group growth and learning during the day.

Service learning projects are all located outdoors, primarily working with partner organizations in maintaining and establishing trails. Alongside a full day of school, residents receive individual, group, vocational and family counseling.

In tandem, clients participate in therapeutic and recreational programs that promote pro-social values and healthy living. Both clients and family benefit from a wide range of supportive family services, in what is called a parallel process. This level of care continues after the clients have completed residential treatment.
