MEET KAARIN

Hi! I'm Kaarin (pronounced Car-in), and the outdoors is my happy place! With over 30 years of experience in canoeing, backpacking, and backwoods camping, spending time in the Boundary Waters every summer has become a way of life for me—I simply can't imagine a year without it.

One of my greatest passions is introducing others to the Boundary Waters and sharing the outdoor skills I've learned over the years. After leading many groups, I've discovered how powerful and inspiring the bond between women in the wilderness can be. There's something truly special about coming together, embracing the adventure, and creating unforgettable memories.

When I'm not paddling through the lakes, you can find me outside enjoying time with my husband and three kids. I absolutely love summer and warm weather, but when the temperatures drop, you’ll find me enjoying the sauna, bringing my kids to the hockey rink, or planning my next adventure!
