Campouts and Community Events

​One of the most storied and celebrated parts of the year are our three seasonal campouts. Fall, winter and spring. Three overnight weekend campouts occur each year, typically lasting from Saturday morning through Sunday morning.

Campouts vary with each tribe and nation but generally consist of attending an outdoor camp within 1-3 hour drive time from Chicago's Northwest suburbs. Tribes gather as a Nation to enjoy authentic camping fun! Each tribe is assigned its own cabins as overnight accommodations. 

Depending upon the season and the camp, activities include archery, evening bonfire, boating/canoeing, climbing, hiking, fishing, sledding, snowboarding and friendly game competitions between tribes.
