CAMPING - Primitive or a Y-CAMP?



Here is an image from a primitive' campout. That guy on the right is our nation chief enjoying a morning cup of joe.

The spring campout this year is May 15-16 at Camp Y-Noah in Green. That has already been booked. We are now trying to figure out where to go for the fall campout. The big question is do we go to another Y-Camp -like Christopher, Fitch /Tippecanoe or do we go to a primitive campout like on the river in Mohegan.

It's been since 2005 since our last non YMCA campground campout when we went Mohegan. This fall we have the option of staying at normal YMCA owned campgrounds like Christopher/Fitch or going to a private campground like we did in 2005.


If we pick a private campground we will make sure the campgrounds has the facalities to hold us and with a large firepit for our ceromony. Many of these type of places also offer canoe, put-put, go cart racing etc. It's drasticly different than a Y-camp as there is no kitchen, everbody cooks for themselfs and you need to bring your own sleeping arragements (i.e. Tents or RV's)


Take the Poll at the left to let the tribe know who you feel.

FWIW, primitive campouts typically cost about half of what a Ynoah/Tippecanoe campout costs. Say $65 instead of $130. Of course you will spend $ on food. Also, the Nation usually provides Saturday dinner (pig roast?) so you just need to worry about Sat breakfast & lunch and Sunday breakfast.
