Minnesota's Premiere Cold Weather Training Program

10/26/2026

At North Wind we have all the gear to allow your troop or crew to have a fun and successful winter camping experience! Both crew gear and some personal gear is provided along with an experienced guide to teach you how to use all the gear.
We have…
• Back packs, duffel bags, and sleds to carry your gear.
• Kitchen set ups and food to keep you full and energized.
• A clothing layering system to keep you warm and comfortable.
• Balaclavas, mittens, liners, and boots to keep the snow out.
• Shovels, kneeling pads, stoves, lanterns, and first aid kits.
• -40 F sleeping bags, closed cell sleeping pads, and sleeping bag liners to keep you warm at night.
And so much more!
We’ve thought of everything, so you don’t have to! No troop trailer needed, just load up your scouts and head our way!

Wondering why you should go Winter Camping?

We believe everyone should experience winter camp and here’s why! The wintertime transforms familiar places into new worlds! Even if you’ve camped at one of our properties before, your scouts will be getting new experiences and tackling new challenges. We provide everything you need to make staying warm a lot easier than you might think! Along with the gear, we also provide you with an experienced guide to lead you through the weekend and ensure everyone is having a fun and safe experience. North Wind provides great opportunities to keep your unit camping all 12 months of the year!

When the snow falls and the lake freezes, many people stay inside.
But a few choose to step outside — to learn, lead, and find out what they’re really made of.

At North Wind, Scouts master cold-weather camping, teamwork, and adventure in a way no other program delivers.

The challenge is real. The memories are even better.
