How do I find out about the program?
If you're a current Y Guides participant, or you're interested in joining the program, visit our Arapahoe Nation Web site. You'll be able to check out our mission, program content and outings information.
What is the purpose of the program?
Dads, no gift you will ever give to your son or daughter will mean as much as the time you spend with him or her. The memories you and your child will make in this program will last a lifetime. The Y Guides program is open to boys and girls in the first through third grades, and their dads. After the third year, Braves and Princesses move into the Trailblazers program.
What will we do?
Tribes are composed of 7-to-10 fathers and their sons or daughters. Tribes meet twice a month in a member’s home complete with fun activities including:
- Games
- Crafts
- Stories
- Tricks
- Songs
In addition, tribes organize monthly outings such as:
- Camping
- Hiking
- Horseback Riding
- Community Service
- Cookouts
All tribes come together for the Fall and Spring Outings, Winter Inning, Polar Bear Swim and Kite Flying Day.
The highlight of the year is the Spring Outing weekend at Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer in Arapahoe, NC. Guides & Princesses tribes get to sleep in cabins and enjoy activities such as: archery, riflery, canoeing, riding the zipline, swimming, shark tooth hunting, and singing around a campfire and much more!
