The pace is hectic, and we are new to the web, so please check frequently for new content and to stay informed. The YMCA Indian Princesses program is designed to foster companionship and understanding between father and child, in a wholesome atmosphere that emphasizes fun, adventure and a shared sense of discovery of Native American Culture. We draw on Indian culture because of its rich history, emphasis on family values and respect for the environment. One feature of our program that differentiates us from others is the involvement of all Dads in activities, not just one or two group leaders. The program is available to Dads and daughters, usually Kindergarten through 4th Grade, but we are flexible.
Tribes normally consist of girls from the same school,neighborhood,or just friends.
The program runs from August through May with a few summer activites, including decorating and participating in the Wheaton and Glen Ellyn July 4th parades. In 1999-2000, our nation had 38 tribes totalling approximately 800 members. Take a look at our Schedule of Activities. You are welcome to join us. Please look at the Y-Indian Princess membership information.
