"It's hard to put into words just how much this experience allows us to grow, but I can say with certainty is that this program will be with me every day from here on out."

- Intercept Boundary Waters Semester Alumni, age 18

Featured on the Blog: The Thing Is... We're Doing It!
VOBS Instructor, Emmy, shares the epic story of her 50-day Intercept Semester course's final expedition, their decision to hike through the night and the unforgettable lessons their crew learned as they canoed and hiked through the fall season in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

  • Maggie Roger's new album, Heard It In A Past Life
  • Twin Cities unsung heroes of 2019
  • New York Time's, Social Q's (lighthearted advice about awkward social situations)
