NORTHERN STAR SCOUTING | Elevate Your Next School Field Trip

Base Camp at Fort Snelling offers a one-of-a-kind ‘Camp in the City’ experience within the walls of the historic Cavalry Drill Hall—now the Twin Cities’ top hub for K-12 leadership, adventure, and student growth.

Base Camp is a premier active learning destination for team building and leadership development of all ages. Since opening in 2010, over a quarter million students and families have experienced the exciting opportunities offered at our Team Building Center, located within the century-old cavalry drill hall on Fort Snelling’s upper post and surrounding six acres. From field trips to overnight lock-ins, private events and public community gatherings, students have engaged in memorable activities including teambuilding skills, rock climbing, archery, trust exercises, outdoor skills, high ropes, and more. Each activity is in support of our mission: “To connect all young people to interactive experiences that build healthy, contributing citizens of character and leaders for life.”
