Night Activities

Camp Winnataska has several evening activities which are almost as old as the camp itself. In fact, Indian Night has been celebrated from the very founding year of the camp.

The pageant of the Holy Grail, which honors outstanding leaders and staff as it recreates the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, was written in 1922.

Fun-filled Country Night is over 50 years old. New activities, such as the search for Blackfeet and Comanches called "Mission Impossible" and "Carnival Night," are camper favorites. Girls camps still include the popular Song Night.

 


What to pack for Night Activities

Below is a list to help you in packing for night activities. Mini-Chico campers should pack according to what nights they will be at camp (Sun. - Tues. night or Wed. - Fri. night). Due to rain, sometimes night activities must be rearranged.

Sunday night:  Wacky Tacky night

A silly hat or parts of an old Halloween costume will work great! Campers can also raid mom or dad's closet for some zany mismatched clothes.

Monday night:  Mission Impossible

Campers can wear camouflage or dark colors.

Tuesday night:  Indian night

Campers will make items in crafts to use during their dance. Some campers choose to get creative with an old t-shirt and decorate it as their Indian Night shirt.

Wednesday night:  Pirate night

NEW night activity introduced in 2008! A scarf, bandana or hat will make a great addition to pirate night.

Thursday night:  Country night

 Attire for the farm!

Friday night:  Holy Grail

Campers wear white clothes, or light-colored clothing for our traditional pageant about the Holy Grail.
