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.

Monday night: Mission Impossible
Campers can wear camouflage or dark colors.

Campers will make items in crafts to use during their dance. Some campers cho
