Base Camp — Local services in Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory

As a mom who has to watch every penny this was a waste of money! My hopes by writing this review is that the camp takes a moment to look at what the scouts themselfs are doing.... Oh wait that would require the guides to be in the same room...

Our event was sponsored by the PVA (Paralyzed Veterans of...

When I asked to go back down, they didn’t let me because I was “too close to the top” I can’t run, talk loudly, or take deep breaths without it shooting up in pain. My friend sprained her arm from doing the rock climbing. We signed a waiver so we can’t sue, but we can steal leave bad reviews. This was a horrible experience, and I won’t be...
