Winter Camporee 2019
Launch-Bot

A STEM-Themed Camporee

February 22-24, 2019
Fred C. Andersen Scout Camp - Swanson Lodge -  Houlton, Wisconsin

Price $15.00 

** All Districts Are Welcome to Attend! **

This will be a unique, STEM-themed camporee, which includes launching an orange ball for distance and accuracy, the classic Klondike Derby, Snow-Bot Building Contest (Snowman), and indoor demonstrations by robotic teams. The Camporee Information Packet includes all the details. Sign up to reserve your place at this classic Lake Minnetonka District Camporee.

Come out to Fred C. Andersen Scout Camp for the weekend or just for the FULL DAY of activities on Saturday. Limited indoor sleeping is available in Swanson Lodge. The indoor space is first come, first served.

You will need to design and build your catapult before you arrive at the camporee. Enough time will be provided so that you can assemble your catapult before the competition. The winning team will launch the prized Lake Minnetonka District robot. Sorry, no trebuchets.

In addition to the traditional, outdoor camporee activities, there will be an indoor program as well, including demonstrations related to robotics, three merit badges*, the Nova program, and STEM activities that will give the youth and their friends hands-on practice with science, technology, engineering, and math – skills they’ll rely on for years to come.
