Weekend Overview:

Are you ready to create memories that will last a lifetime?  This year’s Fall Campout will be held on October 20 – 22 at Camp Willson near Columbus Ohio.

Friday night activities will include our annual Halloween party, so kids (and Dads) wear your costumes.  Awards will go to the cutest, scariest, and most creative costumes.  As an exciting bonus, Friday night will also include pizza and ice cream for everyone.

Saturday and Sunday daytime activities will include a verity of the following: archery, BB’s, boating, tie dye shirts, giant swing, fishing, nature center, sports complex (basketball, tennis, soccer, kickball, softball, baseball, & street hockey), hiking, gaga ball, 9 square, and crafts.

Saturday evening will conclude with our famous torch march, bonfire, and tribe skits.  Remember to bring your torch with a wick (cotton rag) and have a tribe chant ready for the medicine man to light your tribe’s torches.  Dads, encourage your kids to come up with a skit for Saturday night, it would be great if we can get each tribe up on stage.
