KICKAPOO SPRING CAMPOUT
June 21-23, 2024

It was FUN!

Registration for the Spring Guides Campout is now open!  Link for registration. As always, feel free to forward to whomever you think might be interested.  This campout is Tents and done at a private campground that looks pretty awesome.  Fall and winter campouts are traditionally cabins and held at the YMCA campgrounds.  For Spring, we traditionally do tents and stay at private campgrounds that have water activities.  https://riverbendrvresort.com/.  The place has damn near anything and everything you could want to do.  We have three 6th graders who are graduating.  Let’s try and give them a proper send off.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.  Don’t be shy.  Just fathers and sons.

Skip the games / tournaments for this weekend.  There will be plenty more of those.  Only 3 campouts per year – each one of which you and the boys will never forget.  Just ask the old timers if you don’t believe me.  To date, of the hundreds of high profile professional athletes that this organization has produced, not a single one has been denied a Division 1 scholarship or dropped spaces in a professional draft because they missed a game to attend a campout with their dad and friends.  

Few alumni are coming too, as there was some interest from the old timers. 

Things to do at Winter Campout

January 27, 2024

 We stayed at Gray Wolf campgrounds. A safe winter campout in cabins. Every group gets a heated cabin assignment, each group gets firewood. During the day we have planned activities to keep our Sons busy and at the end of the day we share food in our famous "Taste of Poo" :) . Kids love the food Dads make. 

Here is one of our contest:

"Imagine the unique experience of sleeping on a submarine. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

December 1, 2023

 We had a blast on December 1st, 2023 with our group "Kickapoo" when we spent a night on the USS Cobia, a submarine in Wisconsin. We got to explore the museum all to ourselves and even checked out the entire submarine. This awesome experience wouldn't have been possible without the teamwork of our group and the hard work of our dads. The next day, we had a special visit from Santa, and some families even took home Christmas trees as a bonus. Don't miss out on our next adventure!

ps. Don't plan on sleeping too long, too much excitement
