CAMPOUTS 101:

The Typical Weekend

(IF THERE IS SUCH A THING)

Below you’ll find a basic outline of a campout weekend. It looks like a lot, but keep in mind, all activities are optional. Even if you did everything, there’s a whole lot of down time to spend 1:1 with your daughter or to unwind as she plays with friends.

HOST PACK

Each campout there's a pack that gets to host the campout. They come up with activities and a theme for the weekend.

FRIDAY

SETTING UP CAMP

We arrive in the afternoon and early evening and setup camp.

NIGHT

The hosting pack cooks up dinner for the camp. We’ll usually have a camp wide gathering together or a big screen movie.

LATE NIGHT

Sometimes we’ll have Friday “mid-rats” (midnight rations) after the little ones have gone to sleep. It’s a good time to meet dads throughout the Coyote, and some older girls join in too!

SATURDAY

BREAKFAST

Breakfast time with your pack. Meals are communally with your pack.

MID-MORNING

The hosting pack will often have some activity or challenge for the Coyote Cup. Usually lots of chill time or a group hike.

NOON LUNCH

lunch with your pack

AFTERNOON ACTIVITY

The hosting group might have some other activity or competition + more free time.

BEAD TRADING

Bead trading for the girls; a good way for them to mingle camp wide and develop social and negotiating skills

DINNER

with your pack

COYOTE FIRE

Big Chief and Med host a camp wide gathering. We share various activities like talent shows, dance parties, sing alongs or something educational/entertaining – with the hosting group contributing. Lasts about an hour.

CAMPFIRE WITH YOUR PACK

Afterwards you can go have s’more’s at your pack's own campfire. Usually we’ll get a visit from Big Chief and Med who will give out special patches and beads to recognize the girls accomplishments and good deeds

LATE NIGHT MID-RATS

“Mid-rats” (midnight rations) is on! Some groups make some casual nosh to share with all of Coyote, others go epic. Time to meet dads wandering from campsite to campsite, and some older girls join in too.

SUNDAY

7AM-ISH BREAKFAST

Time for your packs to have their final meal together as we casually break down camp.

ZOCOLO

Our final big meeting of the weekend is called Zocolo. We reminisce on the great times of the weekend, award the Coyote Cup, give shout outs to girls for the great things they did, along with awarding the best “Mid Rats.” Oh, and who could forget - the hosting chief's daughters get to pie their dads in the face!

AFTERNOON

Sometimes we hang out a little longer, or hit up a place for lunch together on the way back.

See you next time!
