Boys State is a one-week, hands-on program where participants immerse themselves in Minnesota government.
You’ll:

• Organize and run city, county and state governments.

• Hold elections, campaign and engage in mock trials.

• Take leadership roles across all levels.

• Participate in athletics, music, journalism and more.

It’s not a recreational camp; it’s a fast-paced learning experience. But there is still time for fun, dorm living and building new friendships.

​

The staff is all volunteers, including Legion members, former Boys State alumni, teachers, and community leaders.
