Special Activities

Youth Programs – An important and unique feature of the MAPS Meet are the events specifically for youth participants. There will be sessions each day that mirror the adult instruction with fun and games included. Ages 3-6 and 7-11.  These programs run from 9am-3pm. Kids break for lunch with their families.

The Abo Store will be open this year during specified times, so if you have any primitive items or raw materials you would like to sell, bring them along. We will also have a couple of blanket trading sessions where you can trade your items for nice things other people have made or raw materials.

Night time activities-There will be after dinner talks and a campfire every evening with drumming, music, dancing, and storytelling (so bring your instruments and stories!).

An archery and atlatl range will be available for supervised use. There will also be opportunities for swimming and canoeing in the pond and hiking the trails of the camp.
