Summer Programs
Safe, family-friendly activities for Summer on the North House campus
It’s summertime on the Grand Marais Harbor and the campus has much to offer, whether you’re well-versed in craft or just curious about what’s happening at North House. A free Saturday Campus Tour is a good way to get oriented to the history and activity of the school. Two-hour Intro to Wood Fired Baking and Try It: Timber Framing mini-courses are a great way to spend some time learning with a small group. Every Thursday through Sunday, see craft in action with live demonstrations with our Instructors in Residence. And of course, you can book a sail on our schooner, Hjørdis.
Daily Sailing on Lake Superior
Hjørdis sails now open for registration! The flagship of the Grand Marais Harbor, Hjørdis shares the name of the mythical Norse goddess of war. Take a trip on this 50’ traditionally-rigged steel schooner and gain access to both the largest lake in the world and experience Grand Marais as it was approached in the centuries before Highway 61 — from the water.
