"Sometimes the activities have challenged me to do things I may not have normally done but I have done them because my daughter wanted me to."

The Y-Guides program is action oriented! Fathers and their children form tribes. Ideally, tribes contain anywhere from eight to 10 to fathers and their sons or daughters. One father is selected as tribal chief, and the various tribal positions are delegated to the fathers. The tribes meet monthly in a member’s home with fun activities including: games, crafts, stories and tricks. The tribes also organize monthly outings such as:
Father and child attendance together is mandatory for participation in activities.
In addition to the activities of the tribe, the tribes of the Meckcha Federation participate in various Federation events throughout the year. Federation events include:
- Longhouses
- Princess Date Nights
- Family Fun Days
- Y-Guides 500
- International Olympic Games
- And many other exciting opportunites!
But best of all, the Y-Guides program is just plain fun for both father and child!
