Madeline Island is the largest of the Apostle Islands located in Lake Superior and has long been treasured for its healing powers by native peoples. It is fourteen miles long and three miles wide, reached by a short ferry ride from Bayfield. The Island’s treasures are its picturesque, natural beauty of wild flowers, woods, sandy beaches, wildlife and quaint summer cottages. Located slightly inland, the Madeline Island Music Camp is a wooded property that hosts summer music camps for high school students. At the conclusion of the music camps, the 10-acre site at the end of Harmony Lane becomes home to Infinite Boundaries retreats. Two log lodges offer seven private rooms, a small dining area, kitchenette, and a spacious screened porch. Four bathrooms in each building offer “dormitory-style” morning rituals. Group discussions and meals are held at the camp’s club house about one mile from the sleeping lodges. (Transportation between the sleeping lodges and club house will be coordinated).
