Ontario Nation Braved the Cold at Camp Edwards!

This past weekend, the Ontario Nation gathered at Camp Edwards in East Troy, WI, for an unforgettable winter adventure. With Lake Beulah frozen solid, our dads and sons laced up their skates for some exhilarating ice skating and hockey on the natural rink. Whether it was chasing the puck across the ice or simply gliding under the open sky, the experience was a highlight for many.
Off the ice, the fun continued with gaga ball, indoor pickleball, archery, tube slides and arts and crafts, providing something for everyone to enjoy. The Camp Edwards Nature Center was a hit as well, where the boys got up close with some incredible creatures—including turtles, an axolotl, and even a blue-tongued skink!

Of course, no winter campout would be complete without plenty of time around the campfire, where we shared stories, roasted marshmallows, and stayed warm against the crisp Wisconsin air. The big moment of the weekend came when the Bears tribe quickly tracked down the hidden Golden Arrow—an achievement worth celebrating!

This campout also marked the start of a new tradition—for the first time, the guides were invited to design a patch for our next campout. The creativity on display was impressive, and in the end, a Mustangs child’s design was chosen as the winner!  
​
It wouldn’t be an Ontario Nation campout without a few traditions--some unlucky latecomers got stuck with the Rat Sack, and the dads enjoyed grilling some hearty food over the fire to keep warm.
Another campout full of adventure, camaraderie, and lasting memories—we can’t wait for the next one!

​The Ontario Nation gathered this fall for the 2nd annual pumpkin carving event, hosted in the Mustang Tribe Chief’s backyard. With over 100 pumpkins to core and clean, teamwork was the name of the game! The Mustangs and Snow Owls turned these gourds into stunning masterpieces, showcasing their creativity through carving, painting, and decorating.

As always, the dads stepped up, ensuring the event ended on a high note with a record-breaking cleanup effort after the festivities. A huge thank-you to everyone who joined and helped make the day run smoothly. It was a fantastic opportunity for dads and sons and daughters to bond, share laughs, and celebrate the fall season.

Until next time, stay sharp and keep those carving skills ready for next year’s adventure!

The Ontario Nation recently gathered for an incredible weekend at Camp Anokijig in Plymouth, Wisconsin, where the boys and their dads enjoyed a variety of exciting activities. Paddle boats skimmed across the lake, while the War Canoe races, accommodating up to 20 participants, saw groups racing to break the camp record. From archery and the BB-gun range to more relaxed options like fishing, mini golf, and the arts and crafts studio, there was something for everyone.
One of the biggest highlights of the weekend was the gaga ball tournament, where friendly competition reached its peak. In a clean sweep, the Bears dominated, winning the tournament and also solving all the clues to find the coveted Golden Arrow! However, while they claimed those victories, the Bears also had the dubious honor of taking home the Rat Sack.
As always, the Ontario Nation weekend was packed with adventure, laughter, and plenty of unforgettable memories. Until next time, we’ll be reliving this amazing trip at Camp Anokijig!

Our spring campout at Camp Crosley was an action-packed adventure that the Mustang tribe won't soon forget. With thrilling activities like axe throwing, archery, a giant zip line, and rock climbing, there was never a dull moment. The giant swing, where dads and kids teamed up to pull each other to the top, added an extra dose of excitement, while the jumping pillow and zorb balls brought endless laughter. It was a weekend of fun, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories for everyone involved.  ​

​Our Ontario Nation Tribe's campout at Camp Duncan was changed to a single Saturday trip, but that didn’t stop us from having loads of fun! We made the most of the snowy day with sledding, took on the Black Hole slide, crafted leather, and enjoyed foosball and a cozy bonfire. It was a day packed with adventure, laughter, and great memories for our guides  

​The Ontario Nation Guides tribes had a blast at our 2022 Fall Campout at Camp Sherman Lake.  Some highlights that were enjoyed include swimming in the indoor pool, climbing the climbing wall, and playing gaga ball.  The campout’s gaga ball champion was Oliver N. of the Wolverines.  We hope to see you at our winter campout at Camp MacLean!

Due to the increase in Covid19 (Omicron) cases, the Ontario nation decided to do a day trip to Camp Duncan instead of the usual overnight stay. The kids enjoyed a lot of available activities despite the lack of snow, and broomball on the frozen lake was the main attraction.

The Bears Guides tribe met up for a movie screening of "Elf".  A surprise guest also joins in on the fun!
