Tribal Competition Teams Announced

Last evening we officially inducted all of our first time two-week campers into the Caddo and Tejas Tribal Competition Tribes. This ceremony is one of the few solemn ceremonies we have, and campers really get into it. We start off the ceremony by playing tribal, Native American music over the PA while counselors take position behind the Snake Pond dam. After the fire is lit, counselors (coaches), walk on top of the dam so that campers can see them. Once campers’ names are announced, they are greeted by their respective tribes with open arms and sign their name in the Caddo or Tejas tribe books. Both tribes also vote for a team leader (chief or princess) and a Miss Huawni representative. Tejas chose Kathlyn M. as their Princess and Megan D. as their Miss Huawni representative. Caddo chose Sage H. as their Princess and Amber M. as their Miss Huawni representative.

Here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for!
