Winter Adventures
Cold-Weather Camping (Okpik)
Come explore the frozen North! Okpik (Inuit for snowy owl) is Northern-Tier’s ground-breaking winter camping program which, for forty years, has taught scouts to thrive in the brisk subzero temperatures of Northern Minnesota’s winter months. Sleep out underneath the stars at twenty below, ski miles across secluded wilderness lakes, and learn how to mush a team of sled dogs!
Okpik provides nearly all the gear necessary for a successful winter camping expedition, and our wide variety of treks insure that everyone – from Webelos to Scoutmasters – can find a way to enjoy the quiet beauty of the Northwoods winter.
