Why go Winter Camping with Us?

Scouts should camp each month, and we make it easy. All you need to do is sign up. We provide everything else you need, including:

• Quality cold weather clothing
• Quality cold weather camping gear
• Staff Guides to lead and train you
• Food and lodging

Registration

Registration opens October 1 at noon. Registration is first come, first served. A $25 non-refundable deposit is required per person to hold a spot in the program.

Register today!

This year, to help combat how quickly Dog Sledding registrations fill up, we're opening a lottery on September 15th. Participants will be asked to fill out their names, age, and previous winter camping experience. We will then place participants into the program by October 1st. Any remaining spots that were unable to be filled will become first-come, first-served on October 1st alongside registration for other programs opening.

Visit our Winter Camping page to join the Dog Sledding lottery.
