  Camp Pillsbury is an exciting, safe, fun, coed overnight summer camp for kids ages 6-17.

     It is a unique sleep over camp in Minnesota that provides over 100 activities to choose from. No matter what each child's interests are, they are certain to find activities that not only fascinate them, but help build their character, self-esteem and confidence. Camp Pillsbury offers its campers the chance to fly on the trapeze, participate in musical theater, team sports (such as basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball), learn magic tricks, go horseback riding, tumble, dance, and play an instrument - all in the same day! Because each camper chooses the activities they participate in, they are spending their day with campers who share the same interests, helping form stronger bonds with new friends. The programs and classes we offer put an emphasis on activities that today's kids gravitate to. Camp Pillsbury offers Circus Arts, Rock Band, Musical Theater, Dance, Fine Arts and Crafts, Technology/Digital Arts & Multimedia, Team Sports, Individual Sports, Magic, Water Sports, Extreme Sports, Horseback Riding, Orchestra, Woodworking, Vocal Ensembles, Cheer, Gymnastics, Role Playing Games, Archery, Weightlifting, and much more. Our fully elective program allows campers to select all of their favorite activities and to also try new ones within our established daily schedule. Campers have the opportunity to develop existing skills and explore new interests. Every program and activity is open to all age groups and all skill levels where we meet each child's individual needs and respect their individuality. Our day is comprised of 6 one hour periods; three Majors and three Minors. Majors are taken at the same time each day with the same staff and campers and is an activity that each camper has chosen to learn more about, get better at and be in the end of session show or exhibition. Campers choose three Minors each day that they can try once or repeat as often as they like. This allows campers plenty of opportunity to try new activities they have never been exposed to before. Campers thrive, building on existing interests and developing new ones. They flourish and excel in the areas they become passionate about and self-confidence soars. They become better singers, dancers, actors, athletes, artists, musicians and even students. Camp Pillsbury is helping kids from all over the world be successful through programs led by experts in a unique camp environment. Our campers learn from the best to be the best. They also form friendships that last a lifetime. Campers sleep in dorms and will be provided with great food, fun and friends throughout the summer. (less) ... Read more

  The North Bay Shipwreck and Wildlife tour is the ideal tour for nature lovers and shipwreck enthusiast alike. Explore the North bay with our brand new and amazing Clear Bottom Kayaks! This beginner and family friendly kayak tour will lead you into North Bay, given it's name by Great Lake mariners due to it being the Northern most safe harbor on the peninsula. Many ships were no match for the powerful storms and gales that the area produces. The murderous Alpena gale storm of October 1880 was especially disaturous. Waves pounded Cana Island Lighthouse, flooding the lower level of the keeper's house and forcing the keeper and his family upstairs Many ships were lost in the great storm. Today the bay is scattered with shipwrecks, many that are still visible in the shallow waters. The most famous shipwrecks include the Cherubusco that sank in 1872, the G.J. Tracy 1881, and the A. Bronson 1875. (less) ... Read more

  Located in Green Bay, WI, the National Railroad Museum gives you the opportunity to explore the industry that has carried us from coast to coast for nearly two centuries. The Museum is home to thousands of artifacts and over 60 pieces of rolling stock, including diesel, steam, and electric locomotives, plus passenger and freight equipment. Among these are pieces that influenced U.S. railroading and helped build our nation. When visiting the Museum, a must-see is one of the largest steam locomotive ever operated, the Union Pacific No. 4017 Big Boy. Other significant pieces include the British Railway No. 60008 Dwight D. Eisenhower, a steam locomotive belonging to a class that holds the world speed record for steam locomotives; two of General Eisenhower's World War II command coaches; General Motors' experimental Aerotrain; the streamlined Pennsylvania Railroad No. 4890, a GG-1 electric locomotive; and the Frederick Bauer Drumhead Collection, the largest, single collection of railroad drumheads known to exist in the United States. The Museum also presents a number of exhibits beyond the displayed rolling stock. Explore the world of the iconic passenger car attendant in our exhibit Pullman Porters: From Service to Civil Rights. A train ride is offered daily from May through September. The train is powered by a vintage diesel locomotive and will feature a variety of coaches. Among these is the very popular open-air car, which allows patrons a up-close, unrestricted look at the Museum grounds. The Museum also hosts a variety of special events for all ages. For more information please visit the Museum's website at www.nationalrrmuseum.org. Open Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. '" 5 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m. 5 p.m. Most facilities are accessible, except where rolling stock cannot be altered due to their historic nature.
