Paddling On with Ted Bell

Ted Bell, founder and President of Northstar Canoes, is our featured speaker for the 2023 Wooden Boat Show. Join us on campus June 18 for Paddling On, Ted's presentation.

Ted Bell, founder, and President of Northstar Canoes began paddling and racing canoes as a youngster in Indiana. In his early twenties, he started manufacturing USCA Marathon and Downriver Whitewater Racing Canoes. In his late twenties he moved to Minnesota and became a Manager at Midwest Mountaineering, but quickly returned to building canoes in his garage in his “spare time.” Now nearing retirement, Ted shares the story of how it all started and how his winding journey got him to where he is today.

Join us on campus for Paddling On, Sunday, June 18  at noon in the Red Building. Presentations are free and open to everyone.
