Polar Cubs is a full-day winter adventure for youth ages 5-11. Participants will enjoy exciting outdoor activities, hands-on experiences, and unique camp traditions led by our highly trained and enthusiastic staff. Whether you're attending for the first time or returning for another season, Polar Cubs offers a safe, fun-filled day of outdoor adventure and unforgettable memories.

Join us as we celebrate 30 years of Polar Cubs! For three decades, Scouts and families have made winter memories at camp. In 2027, we're honoring that tradition with our biggest program refresh in years, packed with new adventures, new challenges, and all the winter fun that has made Polar Cubs a favorite for generations.

What's New for 2027?

• New Adventures Every Year - Scouts will experience at least four new activity rotations at every rank, bringing fresh challenges and new experiences to every Polar Cubs season.
• A Completely Reimagined Webelos Program - Webelos Scouts will join fellow Webelos from across camp for a dedicated program designed specifically for older Cub Scouts, featuring greater challenges, age-appropriate activities, and new friendships.

Special weather statement: Snow or no snow, we are prepared for unpredictable winter weather.

• If the snow doesn’t show: We’ve got you covered with snowless sledding, slingshots, catapults, and creative programming to keep the energy high and the Scouts engaged.
• In case of cold, we adjust our program to allow for more indoor activity time. If the temperature drops below zero, earn a unique patch!
• In the case that it is deemed to be too cold to run a safe program, we will make direct contact with the attendees by Friday afternoon prior to their scheduled weekend.
• Additional information is located on our website at http://camp.northernstar.org/winter-weather-policies.
