Pack your bags and head north!

Visit Minnesota's north woods at Cuyuna Family Experience.  This experience is designed so your entire family has fun.  The waterfront will be open, shooting ranges, Scoutcraft skills, and of course the life size game boards will be available for you to test your skills. 

Program

The Cuyuna Family Experience is fun for the entire family.  Parents, Scouts and siblings; all are welcome.  We have designed this experience so families come to camp and do activities together.  For aquatics activities, a swim test is required.  For the rifle range activities, those below age 11 may shoot BB guns, those over 11 will use .22's  Parents must give written permission for children under age 18 to shoot firearms or BB guns.  Please see attached permission form.

Camping

Included in the cost is a camping site.  Bring your tent and gear and make yourself at home in one of the provided sites.  Don't want to sleep in a tent?  Bring your RV or pop-up camper at no additional charge.  You are also welcome to rent one of our 4 family cabins for $75 per night.  Just bring your own towels, sheets and bedding.

Please note that cabin, pop-up camper and RV locations are limited so you may want to register in advance for these options.
