Tier Three: All Things Specialty Weeks

Many Point's All Things Advancement and Adventure Weeks are great opportunities for your older Scouts or Venturers who want to take their experience to the next level.

Each week-long program is structured around a specific interest area so that all advancement, activity and adventure are related to a central idea. Additionally, each program provides training to your youth that is vital for your next high adventure trip or outing.

We operate the programs similar to our All Star weeks, meaning Scouts and Venturers can sign up as individuals, and we will provide the staff to serve as the adult leadership. Fees include all meals, equipment, staff and program while at camp. Space for these great programs is limited, so we encourage your youth to sign up quickly.

The Amazing Pace Adventure Week

The Amazing Pace is one of the newest additions to the Third Tier of adventure programming for Older Scouts and Venturers at Many Point Scout Camp. Participants will kick up the pace by competing in a week-long race, testing skill, spirit, endurance and awesome-ness, all in the pursuit of the prestigious title of Amazing Pace Champions.

At the outset of the week, youth will be paired into teams of two that will use their collective skills to compete in a series of challenges in adventure settings both on and off camp property. During the final days, the race will culminate in a series of in-camp events fearuring our most popular elements like the 44ft tall climbing towers, shooting sports and zip lines. At the end of each race day, youth will return to their troop or crew's campsite to stay with and participate in traditional evening program.

Sample schedule:

Each day of The Amazing Pace begins with your team deciphering the clues about the day's events and route. As your team navigates the route, they will encounter a series of challenges while on an adventure that leads them to the daily pit stop destination.

  • Sunday: Check-in and set up camp with unit
  • Monday: Mountain biking on the single-track trails at Maplelag resort
  • Tuesday: Kayaking the rapids on the Otter Tail River
  • Wednesday: Overnight backpacking trip on the North Country Trail
  • Thursday: On-camp Amazing Pace adventure challenges
  • Friday: On-camp Amazing Pace adventure challenges
  • Saturday: Breakfast with unit and depart for home

Space is limited to 10 participants (going into 9th grade and older, qualified as swimmers) each week, so do not delay in submitting your registration. Registration opens March 15. The fee for your week at camp will be $280.00, which will take the place of the standard fee.

Water Sports Outpost

The Water Sports Outpost is one of the newest additions to the Third Tier of adventure programming offered to Older Scouts and Venturers at Many Point Scout Camp. At its core, the WAter Sports Outpost combines advancement with programs so exciting that they were previously restricted not only from Many Point but Scouting in general.

Water Sports Outpost truly takes adventure to the next level for Older Scouts and Venturers by replacing traditional morning advancement with a package of water activities resulting in skills and certifications good beyond their time at camp. Best yet, your youth will still be able to camp with and participate in activities with your troop or crew. Participants attend during morning advancement time (breakfast until lunch) Monday through Friday, all week.

Participants will work on and do the following:

  • Ride personal watercraft (Jet Skis)
  • Water Sports Merit Badge, including waterskiing
  • MN Watercraft Operator's Permit
  • Kayaking BSA

Space is limited to 24 participants (going into 9th grade and older, qualified as swimmers) each week, so do not delay in submitting your registration. Registration opens March 15. The fee for your week at camp will be $295.00, which will take the place of the standard fee.

 

Personal watercraft activities are only approved for use in BSA nationally-approved programs.
