OKPIK News

OKPIK is training to prepare you for winter camping. Whether you are building shelters or sleeping in tents, it is important to be trained how to handle the rigors of camping in below freezing temperatures. A mixture of lecture and hands on training will prepare you to take your unit out in the grips of winter with confidence. Whether it's backyard or backcountry OKPIK is the cure. Also there are some great patches that can be earned within the Council if a trained leader takes Scouts out for a winter camping experience. OKPIK is offered at Mt. Norris the weekend of January 31 - February 2. The cost is $45. This is an adult course, but is also open to Scouts ages 14 and up. If you have any questions, please forward them to me.
