Our parties are not required to show-up
with their own sleeping bags and pads, they're included!
-
Afraid a party member will arrive
without his knife, fork, and spoon? No problem; they've already been
packed by our staff before you arrived! And the same goes for cups, bowls,
plates, and soap ... all of which may show up on the what-to-bring lists of
some outfitters and the national Scout base.
-
Plastic ground cloth to keep ground
dampness away from sleeping bags? Of course they're in there!
-
Don't want to pay extra for a gas
stove (which is required in some sections of the Boundary Waters)?
"Turned off" by a surprise charge for fuel that you assumed would be
included with the stove? Relax - you're working with North Country - they're both included!
We're here to help ... not hassle. Our Full Youth Group Packages
Include:
We start with detailed individual trip planning and
routing upon your arrival here at our base. Then we will review your gear
and food lists with you as we have pre-packed for your party. This review is
done For those units spending the night before their trip with us in our
bunk rooms, we will have a pre-trip continental breakfast the following
morning
-
A large selection of menu items. We
feature both RICHMOOR and BACKPACKER’S PANTRY freeze dried foods. Next, we
make many additions to provide quality trail tested meals. On the 1st
night out on the canoe trails, we even include ½ pound USDA inspected
Certified Angus Beef ™ steaks or two 1/4 pound Black Angus burgers,
with fresh hash brown potatoes. Condiments & cleaning items round out a
great food pack!
-
Ultra-light ALUMACRAFT canoes: the
17-foot "Quetico" model weighs in at only 64 pounds ... the top choice for
the first timer, as well as someone who wants a quality canoe with a
straight tracking center keel, or a stable fishing platform to cast from.
(These aren't the 85 pound scout camp version). We then add STEARNS
jacket-style (not "horse collar") life vests for all participants.
Rounding out the watercraft, we add ultra-light aluminum shaft / cycolac
blade paddles.
-
SLUMBERJACK sleeping bags with DuPont's
Hollofil II fiber. Caprolan ripstop nylon is used for both the cover and
the lining. The fill construction utilizes an offset, double layer method
which produces maximum loft at a minimum of weight. These lightly nylon
tapered bags are warm to 30 degrees. For our customers who are over 6' or
of a stocky build, we have extra-long rectangular bags ... just let us
know when reserving!
-
THERM-A-REST air/foam sleeping pads for
adult leaders, closed cell foam pads for the boys.

MIRRO ultra-lightweight cook kits,
complete kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, along with rope to hang each
of your food packs at night. Personal eating supplies such as
knife/fork/spoon, plates, and cups are included.

COLEMAN “Sportster” 1-burner stove. This
white gas liquid fuel stove provides clean heat regardless of the weather
or possible fire-ban situations and is included as a back-up to your
normal cooking fire. Even fuel is included at no additional charge!
-
Nylon rain fly for dry dining on a rainy
evening.
-
An ultra-light camp saw (SHARP!)
-
EUREKA's "TIMBERLINE: DELUXE OUTFITTER
SERIES" TENTS. We believe, however, that Eureka's standards for comfort
are not up to ours! For this reason, we never put more than three people
in a "Four-Man" tent, nor more than 4 adults / 5 boys in a "Six-Man" tent.
-
KONDOS Custom built food and gear packs made to
our demanding specifications. Protective plastic liners are supplied to
keep food and supplies as well as your sleeping bags dry.

-
Private automobile / van parking at our
base during your trip.
* There are many differing rules set by local BSA Councils on the use of
backpacking stoves. Check with your local office on the type of stoves
that may be used and who in your travel party is allowed to use them.
North Country recommends that only adults fuel or operate gas stoves. FOR CURRENT PRICING, PLEASE
