The camp has activities like jet skiing, biking, team building, sailing, fishing and climbing. In 2018, scouting was opened to girls. Current ratio is 20% girls and 80% boys. Scouting is organized in three group: Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA & Venturing Camping. NSS also has a Base Camp at Fort Snelling which contains rooms for business meetings, lunches, speakers, and more.
