Lac du Bois features two residential clusters of five buildings each. Four cabins house 16 villagers a piece and all four cabins share a central bath building. Birch, oak and pine forests offer shade on hot summer days. This site is known for spectacular sunsets, a cozy feel and the sound of loons.
Summer and Village Weekend villagers have bunks for their sleeping bags and pillows and cubbies in which to store their clothes and other belongings.
Adult and family programs have the same accommodations but utilize only bottom bunks.

Climate
Minnesota is typical of a continental climate. The North Woods of Minnesota experiences the widest variety of weather in the United States. Each of the four seasons has its own distinct characteristics. Although summers are generally hot and humid, it is normal to experience rain showers, thunderstorms and cool nights. Summer temperatures average 85 F but can get down to 55 F, so keep that in mind while packing!
