A BLAST OF A CAMPOREE! – Save the Date for Winter Camporee 2017

Get ready for a BLAST as we launch a super exciting Lake Minnetonka Winter Camporee!

On Friday, February 10 through Sunday, February 12, 2017, Lake Minnetonka District will be hosting a Rocket Camporee where learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) meets good ol’ winter fun!  We plan to offer a great mix of indoor AND outdoor activities that will appeal to Scouts, Webelos, and Venturers.  Join us as we hold rocket building workshops and then launch our rockets from a frozen lake!  Along with model rocket displays, demos of large rocket launches and drones, we also plan to offer optional helicopter rides, model hot air balloons, and an ice-rescue demo.

During the weekend we will also hold classic outdoor games such as broomball, snow football, snow golf, and our annual KLONDIKE DERBY.  Your unit can camp outside and try to earn the “Zero Hero” award or sleep inside on a limited number of bunks!!  Your Webelos Den, Troop, or Crew is welcome to participate for the whole weekend, or just for the day on Saturday, February 11.

The location for this camporee will be at the brand new, Tonkawa Lodge at Camp Stearns.

Please watch for upcoming announcements with more details including registration and costs.   Countdown to launch begins soon, so mark the dates for our Winter Camporee.

Thank you.
