Tipisa Native American
Weekend
March 6-8, 2020 • Camp La-No-Che
Leaders Guide
Welcome to Camp La-No-Che! Scouts, Scouters, and Parents,
Welcome to the Tipisa Native American Weekend (TNAW)! We’re looking
forward to seeing you at Camp La-No-Che in March! TNAW is a weekend where
Native American culture ties into activities with classic Scouting favorites in a
“once in a lifetime” fashion. This year we will be adding a pioneer Village as a new
program area to add to this all-inclusive event.
TNAW is open to all scouting groups both in and out of Central Florida
Council. There are various activities for all ages. Don’t forget to bring the entire
unit and family for a weekend of great experiences of a unique culture.
The event fee is just $30 dollars for this all-inclusive event that includes
crafts, weapons, vendors, training, learning experiences and much more. There
are various food options available or you can prepare your own food in your site.
Included in this guide is the information that will help you plan your
weekend out and use to share with your entire unit. If you have any questions,
feel free to reach out to the team below.
I look forward to bringing this great program to life in March as we, Central
Florida Council and Tipisa Lodge, host the greatest AIA program in the Southern
Region.
