Collection: Camp DuNord

Our 2025 Retreat is Full. If you would like to get emails about future retreats, you can sign up for our Newsletter at the bottom of any page.

Camp duNord is a YMCA camp located about 20 miles outside of Ely, Mn. on Burntside Lake. We've been hosting retreats here for over 20 years and we can't get enough of it. The cabins are beautiful, the building we knit in is beautiful, and the scenery is amazing.

During the retreat we allow for plenty of time to do your own thing. We like to think of our retreats as "Create Your Own". We offer a variety of choices you can pick and choose from, making the retreat exactly what you want it to be. 

Because we have full kitchens, we eat breakfast in our cabins (which means you need to bring breakfast food for yourself.) It makes for a leisurely morning with your cabin mates. 

We usually offer a knitting project, but you can work on anything you want.

We bring a massage therapist to this retreat. His wife is a knitter (lucky us) and he has been with us for about 10 years. He brings his table and his chair so you can get a full on massage, or have him work on your shoulders for 10 minutes 

At the Fall retreat, we bring a yoga teacher (no extra fee). She is also a knitter:) She will lead us in stretches throughout the week-end (no mat needed) . She will also lead a Saturday morning session before breakfast which is optional.
