Pembina Gorge State Park is hosting a summer day camp for ages 9–13 as part of the North Dakota State Parks series, focused on environmental education, cultural history, and outdoor skills. Campers will explore local trails while learning activities like plant identification, backcountry cooking, and basic first aid.
We are going to be exploring the trails of the Pembina Gorge and learning skills along the way, such as plant ID, backcountry cooking, and trailside first aid, as well as other hiking skills. Camp begins at 9 am, and campers should be dropped off at the Beaver Pond Pass Trailhead (just south of the intersection of 117th Ave NE and 107th St NE, Walhalla, ND) no earlier than 8:45 am. Campers can be picked up at 4 pm at the Main Trailhead (10535 120th Ave NE, Walhalla).
Registration opens online May 1 at 9 am. The cost for this camp is $40/participant; participants must be the described age at the time of camp. Participants can register for multiple camps within the summer series as different activities are planned for most camps. Class sizes are limited, so it is highly recommended to register promptly.
To maximize their experience, campers should dress for conditions, bring a water bottle, and wear bug spray and sunscreen. Lunch and snacks are provided. If your participant has food allergies, please inform staff no later than one week prior to your camp date.
