Spring Campout
Camp Tippecanoe, Tippecanoe, Ohio
Check-in begins at 6:30
Spring is here and that means it is time for CVNSND to head down I-77 to the rolling hills of Camp Tippecanoe. This campout is always a great time with archery, BB guns, swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, pontoon boat rides, crafts, and many other activities.
Once again we will hold the cardboard boat races on Saturday after lunch. Boats are to be built Friday night by the tribes out of corrugated cardboard and tape (no pre-building allowed). The Longhouse will provide tape, but the tribes are responsible for providing their own cardboard and decorating material (decorations must not aid in powering or keeping the boat afloat, unless it is only made of corrugated cardboard and tape) The boats need to hold two children and they will provide the power with the use of paddles provided by the camp (paddling by the children is the only form of power allowed). Races will be held by grade level. This is meant to be an enjoyable event for all and is not about winning or losing, but about building a boat and seeing how well it holds up. There are no prizes involved.
On Friday night we will hold our annual chicken wing contest, so Dad's dust off that secret recipe and start preparing your sauce!!!! Chicken wings will be provided by the longhouse, and everyone is invited to enter their own secret sauce into the competition. EACH TRIBE SHOULD SUBMIT AT LEAST 1 ENTRY!!! Please remember to mark your sauce HOT if they are hot please.
Saturday we will hold our charity walk. This year we will be raising money for St. Judes. Look for pledge sheets to be published soon, and start lining up those donations. There will be prizes for the top individual fund raising child and top fund raising tribe.
