Native American Camping Weekend

Hope, Quinn and I went camping a couple of weekends ago. Quinn’s cub scout pack was having a campout at the County Cub Scout reservation. There are 4 campsites at this camp. Pirates where you sleep in a Large Wooden Pirate boat. Cowboys Staying in Fort Akela, Knights staying at the Castle complex and we stayed in the Native American Teepees. Our campsite consisted of a Long House which had the mess hall/kitchen and the bathrooms. There were 10 teepees. All had beds, some with two and some with three bunk-beds. Each wood bed had a mattress also. We had a teepee with two beds that we slid together and shared the sleeping bags. First thing into camp we made Tomahawks and Head Bands. We also colored on sand paper to make iron on warrior shirts. After lunch we went for a hike. We did not see much. After the hike, we went down to visit the Pirates and set up a Capture the Flag Game. It was very fun with prisoners, ambushes and all out Banzai charges. We won after a couple of hours. Then came Dinner prep. At least for the adults. This camp had a great Kitchen. Refrigerator, stove, lunch line severing. It was awesome. We made Foil Wrap meals with Chicken for the boys and Sausage with pepper and onions for the adults. I had one of the cub meals and it was pretty tasty. At about this time we were on full alert for an attack from the Cowboys staying at Fort Akela. All of our Braves and Maidens were dressed in their Indian gear and had their water pistols and water balloons ready to go. But no attack. After a little while we made a truce with the Pirates and attacked the Castle. Did I say attacked? I meant stormed and drenched the castle. The battle went on for an hour. I wonder if all that re-filling of the water pistols caused the camp well to fail that night leaving us with no water.
No running water on a camp out is usually no problem. However, we did not bring water in with us from the cars, a half mile away. And some of the families only came because there were flush facilities. Well it seems that all of the pirates left during the night and we lost three families from our Tribe. We survived the camp-out. The kids and I are closer for it and I can’t wait until our next camp-out. Maybe Kenobels in the fall?
We’ll see.
