We're made up of nine different groups
The YMCA has several Adventure Guide clubs, and ours is called Coyote. We're made up of nine groups: Bear, Bobcat, Chameleon, Sasquatch, Wallaby and Yosemite. These same groups come to every Coyote campout. If your daughter makes friends from another group, they’ll see them at the next campout. Check them out here.
do I have to go to every campout?
do I have to go to every campout?
NO! Some dads come to every campout, some only make it out for one. We all have different schedules, and you’ll get no pressure from the group to impact your existing schedule or budget. We just enjoy the time we’re together.
Got something on Friday, and can’t arrive until Saturday? No prob! Need to take off at dawn on Sunday to get to a game? That’s just fine. This group is here when you want it, make it work around your schedule.

Coyote Cup Competition
Coyote Cup Competition
We have a trophy that cycles through the different packs in the Coyote Club. We have competitions each campout which the Coyote packs contend for. Sometimes it’s a relay race, sometimes it's who can make the best ice cream with rock salt in a ziplock bag - whatever it is, it's bound to be entertaining and/or silly. We like cheering on and encouraging our fellow campers, but we don’t get highly competitive. If you win something, great. If you don’t, no biggie. The weekend is about having fun and spending quality time with our daughters.

Head on over to the "typical weekend" webpage. It should give you a pretty good overview of what to expect. (psst... no campout is typical)
Many activities we have will focus on the “six aims” of the Coyote Club. Girls can earn patches by memorizing and reciting these to Big Chief and Med.
To be clean in body and pure in heart
To be friends always with my dad/daughter
To love the sacred circle of my family
To listen while others speak
To love my neighbor as myself
To seek and preserve the beauty of the Great Spirit’s work in forest, field and stream
