DIRECTIONS
Phillippo Scout Reservation
30654 32nd Ave Way
Cannon Falls, 55009
From St. Paul, take I-94 to US Highway 52 (Lafayette Bridge).
Go south on US Highway 52 and continue to Minnesota Highway 19 (Cannon Falls/Northfield).
Go west on Minnesota Highway 19 to 310th Street (see sign to Scout Reservation).
Go north on 310th Street to Camp Main Entrance.
Dress for the weather:
Dress in winter outdoor clothing suitable for the forecasted weather. 2nd Pair of gloves and socks highly recommended. Dress in layers!
Base layer - AVOID COTTON fabrics touching your skin! Cotton will absorb water which can quickly turn into cold toes and fingers! We recommend synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon.
Warmth Layer - this will be where the bulk of your warmth comes from. We recommend fabrics such as wool, polar fleece or flannel.
Wind/Water Layer - your outermost layer should be wind and waterproof. Most jackets and snowpants have this built in - but if not, you can throw a rain jacket over the top of a fleece jacket for the same effect!
