Welcome!
Santa Clarita Valley Family YMCA Y-Guides - NunPaWaPa Nation
Welcome to the home of the NunPaWaPa Nation of the Y-Guides, also known as the Indian Guides.
New tribes are forming over the summer for the 2008-2009 season. You can join at any time, but there is no time like today to join. This will ensure that you do not miss out on any of the fun in our next season. Visit our join/about page for more information.
Next Event
Ice Cream Social
Bring your
friends, neighbors and their Kindergarten through 3rd grade children to our ice
cream social. We will be serving up ice cream and answering any questions
about the Y-Guides program. You do not need to be a part of the program to
attend.
This event will be held on Friday, July 11th at the Santa Clarita Valley Family YMCA at 26147 McBean Parkway. For more information, contact Jane Albin at 661.253.3593.
Big Rock Camp
Pack your
fishing gear and get ready to kick off our 2008-2009 season with one of our best
camps. Big Rock camp is always popular, because it is so close and there
is so much to do. Our dads will be camping with their braves and
princesses in teepees at this private camp in the Angeles National Forest.
The private fishing hole is stocked with big, juicy rainbow trout. Our braves and princesses will fish all day and then help their dads prepare dinner with the fish they catch. There is so much to do at Big Rock. [More...]
Previous Events
Wisdom Tree/Graduation
The highly
acclaimed wisdom tree was back this year! We also used this event to
recognize our graduates from the Y-Guides program.
Our families enjoyed great picnic lunches while being entertained by this wonderful Native American singing, dancing, storytelling and puppetry show. Many families also enjoyed the snow cones and Native American crafts that were provided.
We gave our graduating braves and princesses a wonderful sendoff, and hope to see them in the fall in the YMCA Trailblazer program. [More...]
Camp Surf
Surf Camp
was a blast as usual this year. We were treated to wonderful weather and
great ocean conditions. Our little braves and princesses made some
creative sand castles in our competition. We were treated to some funny
skits at our evening campfire as well as fun toys for those that participated in
our sand castle competition. We took a group picture, that can be viewed
and download by clicking more. [More...]
