Cuyahoga Valley Native Sons & Daughters

Creating Memories Together

Who we are

Friendships. Fun. Family.

CVNSD is an organization focused on pure fun for dads and kids. No uniforms. No merit badges. No strict schedules. Memories are the only reward.

Friendships

You and your child will acquire new friendships, some of which you will each keep for a lifetime.

Fun

You will find that all CVNSD activities center around fun. From backyard events to campouts, you will have great times.

Family

Your own relationship with your child will be enhanced by shared memories during their childhood.

There is never a second chance to provide a great childhood.

Share a lifetime of memories with your loved ones as you participate in fun, rewarding activities and experience a one-on-one father/child relationship as you never have before.

Fun & Adventure All Year Long

Campouts

A Camping Adventure for Each Season

CVNSD organizes four campouts each year — one for each season. Each campout is typically from a Friday evening to a Sunday morning, and the days are packed with activities that the kids and dads will all enjoy.

Activities

Fun-Filled Activities for Dads & Kids

All CVNSD activities center around fun. From pool parties to laser tag, you will have great times, acquire new friendships and develop a greater sense of belonging to family, neighborhood, and community. This nationally acclaimed program is unique because unlike most youth programs, dads participate with their children in every activity!

Tribe Meetups

Form Friendships, Have Fun & Make Memories

CVNSD fosters fun and friendships through regular meetups, where kids and dads gather for activities with their tribe members where they can bond, share experiences, and build lasting connections within a supportive and engaging environment.
