Eden Prairie Community Education

Embark on an unforgettable adventure at Base Camp, where participants will challenge their physical skills and mental focus through two signature activities: archery and rock climbing.

In any weather, the 15-yard indoor archery range is perfect for both beginners and seasoned archers to develop precision, control, and concentration. All necessary equipment, instruction, and coaching are provided by our trained staff, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. The adventure continues with a climb on Base Camp’s 30-foot indoor rock wall, featuring 16 belayed routes inspired by the natural rock formations of the St. Croix River bluffs. Climbers of all skill levels will enjoy scaling the wall while working together as a team to ensure safety and success. With all safety equipment and facilitation provided, participants can focus on trust, communication, and personal achievement. Waivers are required to attend this field trip. We will send out a waiver via email prior to the field trip day. 

What to bring:

• Sneakers or athletic shoes. No flip flops, sandals, boots or crocs allowed
• Athletic clothing
• Packed lunch
• Water bottle

We also ask that those with long hair make sure to secure it in a way that is safe from getting tangled during the flight simulation (pony tail, braids etc.).
