Camping has a long tradition in scouting. It adds a unique dimension to youth experiences not easily found in other settings. The mission of the camping program is to provide safe outdoor experiences that further develop leadership, and life skills that are fun, challenging and embody the scout oath and the scout law.

Northern Star Council Camps are some of the best camps in the nation with highly rated programs and attendance. In addition, Troop 283 utilizes beautiful, regional nature reserves and camp areas.

Camping outings scheduled throughout the year provide many opportunities for scouts to work on rank advancement and merrit badges. Opportunities for High Adventure are also available.
