NORTHERN STAR SCOUTING | A New Outdoor Learning Center Awaits!

For just $25/per student/adult, your 3-8th graders have a new, overnight outdoor adventure to explore including meals, lodging, programming, mega learning, and FUN!


Northern Star Scouting’s Outdoor Learning Center gives students a two‑day, one‑night adventure just 30 minutes from the Twin Cities at our Kiwanis Scout Camp in Marine on St. Croix, MN. Guided by experienced outdoor educators, young learners explore the St. Croix River Valley through hands-on activities that spark curiosity, build teamwork, and support your classroom’s goals. We offer a fun, safe, and memorable way for students to discover the outdoors and grow with confidence. What you get out of the experience:

  • Educational Excellence: We provide hands-on learning experiences designed to build confidence, resilience, and real-world skills in every season.
  • Technical Literacy: Students gain practical skills such as basic navigation, environmental awareness, and outdoor safety—taught in a supportive, guided format.
  • Collaborative Leadership: Team tasks help students build communication, cooperation, and leadership through structured group activities.
  • Environmental Stewardship: Immersive experiences in the natural world foster curiosity about ecosystems and encourage responsible care for the environment.
  • Personal Growth: Students develop confidence and self-efficacy as they take on new experiences, practice perseverance, and celebrate personal achievements.

Through environmental learning, archery, climbing, and exploring, students walk away with new skills and experiences they will never forget!
