PRISIP Iroquois Nation 2016 Winter Campout

The girls had a fantastic time at the PRISIP Iroquois Nation’s 2016 winter campout at YMCA Camp Duncan. It was one of the coldest campouts of recent memory but the Princesses had a blast sledding, exploring, hunting for plates, competing in the trivia competition and enjoying the evening camp fire. Dads spent hours cooking the “midnight meal”. Brisket chili, pulled pork, jalapeno and honey cole slaw, fried everything and the list goes on. Special thanks to Beau O’Hara and his chiefs for a truly memorable experience.

2016 Winnebago Camp Out… Short on Snow but not on Fun!

The dads and sons of the PRISIP Winnebago Nation had a great time February 6th and 7th at Camp Duncan. The boys participated in a variety of activities throughout a weekend. Art, athletics and learning were packed into this special event for the scouts. Even with no snow, the dads and Scouts shared memorable experiences.

Athletics included broom ball games that matched teams of scouts against their dads. An indoor floor hockey tournament floor hockey tournament continued until the early evenings with scout teams battling for floor hockey supremacy. Scouts learned about Native American legends, myths and fables through the constellations at Camp Duncan’s indoor Star Lab. Hopeful scouts designed colorful representations of the winter campout seeking to win the patch design contest. The boys explored the campgrounds searching for the most interesting object that they could find. Saturday night finished with the traditional bonfire followed by the individual tribes’ late night barbecue.

Special thanks to Nation Chief Matt Hachigian and his amazing crew for coordinating this event. Enjoy the pictures from the festivities.
