When making a reserva on, be certain to include adult par cipants. Many adults will a end Base Camp as a chaperone and are not assessed a fee. But adults who want to par cipate in the ac vi es are charged the same fee as youth par cipants. Adult only programs are subject to different fees; program planning should be done through our Adult Program Catalog and Program Request Form.

Base Camp, Northern Star Council
ADVENTURES AT BASE CAMP Base Camp has many exci ng ac vi es for youth to experience. Whether your goals are to build stronger rela onships with one another, conquer your fear of heights, live a fit and ac ve lifestyle, or challenge your comfort zone, Base Camp can help you achieve your goals.
Ac vity
Descrip on
The Space Simulator at Base Camp is one of only eight in the country and is the only simulator like it in the Space Shu le Midwest! 7th graders all the way to adults will benefit from its teambuilding and problem solving lessons in a scaled replica of the space shu le cockpit. The ac vity itself can be very abstract, stressful, and challenging. Simulator But through prac ce and reflec on, the program can become very valuable in real world applica ons; especially those involving communica on and empathy.
Ice Climbing
Experience the challenge and thrill of ice climbing using crampons and an ice axe on our outdoor simulated ice towers. Using a special ‘ice foam’ par cipants can ice climb year round. If you want the REAL ice climbing experience though, we suggest November‐March for the added “chill”. Par cipants must be in the 7th grade or older.
Par cipants access the course in a manner similar to rock climbing, but once on the course, par cipants will traverse across an aerial obstacle course making their own safety connec ons along the way. More than any other ac vity at Base Camp, the ropes course requires a en veness and maturity throughout the program. Because of the physical and behavioral maturity required, this ac vity is only available for par cipants in the Indoor and 7th grade and older. Outdoor High The Indoor High Ropes Course at Base Camp is one of a kind! Not only can it operate year round, but it contains mul ple levels of challenging elements. Most of the elements are at a height of 16 . and offer Ropes just the right challenge for par cipants nervous about heights. The Outdoor High Ropes Course is very similar to our indoor course but it incorporates all the challenges of the natural environment; sun, wind, and noise all add to the high ropes course experience. Addi onally, our outdoor course is 30 . high and increases the mental challenge of the ac vity.
Cycling
Base Camp will provide bike guides to par cipants in the 7th grade or older and lead them around the many urban trails in Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Mendota Heights, and Historic Fort Snelling. Guided bike trips will include a basic safety and maintenance course at the start of each trip.
Lego Mindstorm Robo cs
With the help of experienced and knowledgeable Base Camp guides, par cipants in the 4th grade and older will use Lego Mindstorm robo cs kits to design, build, and program their very own robot to complete basic moving and li ing tasks. Lego Mindstorm Robo cs kits are also available to rent from Base Camp for $15/ week. Users will be held responsible for any lost or broken equipment.
Archery
Base Camp’s 15‐yard, indoor archery range has five sta ons; making it a great ac vity for year‐round programming. Youth of all ages and adults will find archery challenging and fun. Archery is a skill that many youth have not experienced before; but it is a skill they can learn, and see success, in a short period of me. Self esteem is improved; as well as concentra on, pa ence, and physical skills. Par cipants may bring their own equipment, but use requires approval of Base Camp Lead Guide.
Base Camp staff will belay par cipants and provide belay training to interested adults and youth at least 6th grade and older. Harnesses and helmets are provided at no addi onal cost. Par cipants may bring their own Indoor and equipment, but use requires approval of Base Camp Lead Guide. Base Camp’s indoor, simulated natural rock climbing wall is modeled a er the St. Croix River bluffs near Outdoor Rock Taylors Falls. Sixteen routes between 24‐32 . provide a physical and mental challenge to climbers of all Climbing ages and abili es. Base Camp’s two outdoor climbing towers offer a variety of 30 . routes providing physical and mental challenge to climbers of all ages and abili es. Team Building is a group of ac vi es synonymous to icebreakers, ini a ves, and low ropes course ac vi es. With over 75 ac vi es, a Base Camp guide will facilitate the team’s experience; building from simple Team Building problems to complex challenges par cipants will have to work together to be successful. Planning, self‐ awareness, personal disclosure, communica on, leadership, and many other outcomes make team building the ‘bread and bu er’ of Base Camp’s programming. 4
