OKPIK

February 27 - March 1, 2026

Camp Scouthaven

OKPIK builds on the basic information presented in the Cold Weather Training program. Through additional classroom sessions and real winter camping experience, participants strengthen their knowledge base and develop skills through hands-on activities. Trained and experienced instructors deliver the classroom program and serve as guides during the field. 

The OKPIK Program is open to:

• All BSA-registered adults
• BSA-registered Scouts  and Venturers providing that the unit or individual provide a registered adult

The Cold-weather Training Team recommends a minimum age of 14 and First Class for all course participants.  Please consult the Course Director if you have additional questions or concerns.

In all cases participants are required to have the appropriate training, experience, and maturity to conduct and care for themselves in a high-adventure setting.

Registration Note: You will need your Scouting America ID at time of registration. This is used to verify current registration in the Scouting America program. This can be found in my.scouting.org. For members of your Unit this can be found under the Roster in my.scouting.org or under the profile in Scoutbook Plus. IF you logged in and have access to your Unit Roster this will automatically fill in, if you use Auto Fill.

BSA Medical Parts A and B are required

COLD-WEATHER TRAINING is a pre-requisite for attending OKPIK.
