Northern Star Day Camps
Northern Star Scouting provides a wide range of fall and winter day camp options that kids are sure to love. They can laugh, learn, and have fantastic experiences that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. For a taste of Scouting, Discovery Day Camps are open to members and nonmembers alike.
These camps focus on a variety of sports and other physical activities that can set children up with new lifelong hobbies and pursuits. By building a solid foundation of healthy activity at a young age, we’re preparing children to lead happy, healthy, and meaningful lives.
Day camps are a great option if your child might not be quite ready for a sleepaway camp. They’ll get to have a lot of fun and meet new friends while still going back to the comfort of their own homes each night. Many of our day camp attendees eventually move up to our sleepaway camps once they see just how fun camp can be.
Our summer and fall day camps feature a wide range of outdoor activities like archery, climbing, ga-ga ball, hiking, crafts, and more. Many of our sites offer winter day camps as well, with outdoor winter fun like sledding, broomball, tubing and snowshoeing. We have year-round options to let your kids enjoy the outdoors.
