In today's world, a child and a father rarely have time together - to talk, to laugh, to really get to know each other and become friends.
The Y-Indian Guides is a program designed to bring fathers and sons together to build strong, lasting relationships. They do this by spending quality time together doing fun activities. Father's and sons 5-12 years of age are eligible to participate.
Guides groups are traditionally "Tribes" consisting of approximately 10 father/son pairs. The groups meet once a month at members' homes on a rotating basis. Tribes also participate in outings together such as picnics, field trips, campouts and more.
Meeting dates, times and activities are determined by the Tribe to fit into everyone's schedule. The meetings provide a forum for spending time together, playing games, crafts, refreshments and other activities.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Y-Indian Guide Program is to foster
understanding and companionship between father and son.
