January OKPIK Campout (1/22-1/25)
Northern Tier Website
Troop 283 is planning a weekend camping adventure to Okpik for Scouts of all ages!
The musher camp trek will qualify as the Northern Tier portion of the triple crown award!
Northern Tier is the site of the Boy Scouts of America's National Cold Weather Camping Development Center. OKPIK Cold Weather Camping, Northern Tier's winter offering, is the BSA's premier winter camping program. At OKPIK, Scouts experience a true Northwoods winter: learning how to thrive in subzero temperatures, travel across frozen wilderness lakes and construct their own sleeping structures out of snow. All trips are fully outfitted and provisioned, including almost all of the personal gear necessary to stay warm in the winter. A highly trained staff member, called an Interpreter, accompanies all crews on their trek.
 
Troop 283 is looking to bring a full contingent of Scouts, and we have leaders and boys signed up and ready to go to learn all they can about the different parts of winter camping and then to use and test these skills.
