A system for training surgical camera navigation skills is provided. A plurality of two-dimensional targets is printed on an upper surface of a flat sheet. The sheet is transportable and placed onto a base of a box trainer that defines a simulated abdominal cavity between the base and a top. A scope is inserted through a port in the top and the targets are viewed on a live video feed displayed on a screen. A trainee can move the scope back and forth, roll, and angulate the scope about the port to view the targets on the sheet at different angles and distances. The trainee is instructed to follow a sequence of targets marked on the sheet and manipulate the scope to align consecutively each target with the edges of the screen in the sequence provided.
