NORTHERN STAR SCOUTING – BASE CAMP | Home School Field Trips Are Back!
We are excited to bring back our Home School Field Trip series at Base Camp! Registration is now open for our STEM field trip in March and a Nature Field Trip in April. Open to all youth in grades K-8. Click RED MORE and register today!
Each field trip will begin at 9:00 AM and conclude at 4:00 PM. Check-in begins at 8:30 AM and pre-registration is strongly encouraged in guaranteeing your spot in the program. Parents or adults may register at no cost to observe the activities throughout the day, but are not required to remain onsite. For adults dropping youth off, we request that you accompany your children into the building for check-in (please do not let them walk up on their own). All youth participating in the program must have a waiver form signed by their parent or guardian (separate forms for each youth and each program). Participants must wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing – dressing for the weather if your program includes outdoor activities. In addition, we recommend bringing a water bottle, bag lunch and a snack if desired.
