Camper Tribes

At FCDC campers are organized by age into groups of 12-16 children called Tribes. Campers travel to and attend camp activities with their tribe.

Each tribe is named for a different native american tribe that was present at some point in North America.

There are two tribes associated with each age group. (With the current exception of the Pre-K level.)

Retired Tribes

 * Warriors - the previous partner-tribe to the Tenderfeet. Retired due to low camper enrollement at the Pre-K level.
 * Explorers - Originially the tribe for the oldest campers, this tribe was initially split into Explorers 1 and Explorers 2 to accomodate increased camper enrollment. In order to better suit the native american theme, these subdivisions were renamed the Cheyennes and Dakotas.
