Featured Programs
Water Sports OutpostYeah, you're gonna get wet!
Water Sports Outpost takes adventure to the next level for Older Scouts by replacing traditional morning advancement with a combination of water activities resulting in skills and certifications that serve them beyond their week at camp.
Older Scout Adventure BlastGo places other scouts have never seen
Scouts will have the opportunity to enjoy their favorite parts of I.T.S.O., C.O.P.E., Treehouses, Spar Pole Climbing, Mountain Biking and Kayaking; as well as being some of the first to experience our ATV outpost program.
Five Stand Shotgun OutpostCompetition has never been so fun!
Five Stand gets its name because Scouts rotate between 5 different stands or stations. Each station has a unique set of clays coming from different directions, that provide unique challenges for each Scout.

Many Point Scout Camp FAQs It’s important to note that this situation continues to evolve and change daily. Should our targeted start date of July 5th be altered, we will let you know promptly. We p...Thanks for all your communication and effort! I need just a little clarification on the groupings. I thought I understood that each “pod” of 10 needed 2 deep leadership. So that if they did an activity as a group they would have adults with them. And that they would have help with any needed adult leadership (for example a younger pod needing help with cooking or a merit badge). But your examples include scenarios where all the adults are in one pod and there are scout-only pods. If we are not to collaborate between pods, it seems our adult leaders would be often separated from the Scouts. Can you clarify that we can have groups of 10 Scouts with no adult leadership attached? How many adults would a troop require overall? And finally, if we do this, would our adult only pods sign up for any activities or stay back in camp all week?
This weekend was supposed to be our annual Work Party, postponed due to COVID. As we look at the plaques that hang in the Buckskin Dining Hall, we are overwhelmed with thankfulness and appreciation of the volunteers who give their weekends, skills, and service in support of the mission of Scouting. Thanks to all who volunteer. Please feel free to share your favorite Many Point Work Party memory!
I loved the roll of magic orange flagging I had. I would go to an area during work party and make a big circle with magic orange flagging. Two hours later, all the brush was gone inside the circle!!
My first work party was 1992 when the council brought up a bunch of oa members, I don't know if this is one I want to remember or forget for one reason I was down on the buckskin beach and I whipped a sharp rock in the water and it split my finger open where I had to be brought to Detroit lakes E.R . for stiches , but had to wait to get stiches for hours until they got hold my family in the cities with my insurance info. Ah memories lol. Been though a bunch more after that. Love helping at camp as a staff alumni.
I’m proud to have my name on a couple of those plaques! I’ll never forget meeting the late-great Gary Reisdorph for the first time at a MPSC work party.
I have been able to participate in the Work Party once. It was very fulfilling to attend with a small crew of 8 Scouts and 2 adults.
It felt so weird to be home this weekend and not up there cooking for everyone!
So sad to not have Work Party. 😩
Loved work party 2019!
I think the apple was my first year.

Your instructions are not very clear. Are we trying to pick MB based on unit, patrols? How many will they be allowed to pick? When will FCA to be (morning or afternoon)?
just to clairify - the kids need to work in units and not as individuals. does this mean each unit would all work on the same merit badge/advancement activitiy? and each unit would go to the same older scout activity?
Glad to see the Back of the Moon on the list. Beautiful spot and great hike to it!!
Are All-Star Campers still coming to camp?
Is the July CIT session still being held?

UPDATE 7:45PM - We're aware some users, mostly I-Phone users are having an issue with scrunched text on the link. We're actively troubleshooting - if you can please use a different device to read the article.
The Northern Star Camping team has been reviewing current recommendations for operating youth programs and determining how guidelines will impact our program delivery. Many of you have asked some really great questions, and all we've told you so far is that camp will look different. Here are some answers that start to explain what camp will look like.

It looks like there were some formatting issues for viewing on mobiles devices. It’s painful to read with no spaces between words (problem is better on PC than on mobile). Thanks for all of the info! Every bit of info we can get is better than being in the dark.
If possible, I'd like to know what changes to expect for late summer family camp. Will the beach be open, etc?
Regardless of what happens with holding camp or not, you've clearly worked hard to think through how to keep our scouts and your staff safer in the face of this pandemic. Thank you!!
The formatting issues are not just on mobile devices, they are on regular laptops as well. It was very difficult to read the article to say the least.
I know this question is so low priority for adults. My Scouts first question was: will the trading post be available? They have slushies on the mind.
What about severe weather? How do you plan to handle this issue with storm shelters?
Hybrid merit badges? Does that mean the morning merit badge sessions are not happening?
Is the First Class Adventure program going to be happening for the younger scouts?
So how many individual sections does a campsite hold and does each group of 10 include 8 youth and 2 adults if you are at the same campsite? And can family members who are at Family Camp visit their youth at the youth side of the lake?
