The Katori Nation Adventure Guide Program is designed to foster companionship and understanding between father and child, in a wholesome atmosphere that emphasizes fun and adventure. We draw on activities which emphasize 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 their children, aged 5 through 9 (Kindergarten through 3rd grade). An average of 6 - 8 Dads and their children form a single gender tribe, typically from the same age group and in nearby subdivisions when possible. The program runs from August through May, corresponding to the school year. There were over 60 tribes and over 800 members in the Katori Nation during the 2007/08 program.

There is at least one major Nation activity per month, including campouts, skating and swimming parties, participation in the Katy Rodeo Parade, and special Nation ceremonies. Each tribe also has a meeting once each month, and tribe chiefs attend a short "Longhouse Meeting" once each month to keep up with all that is happening in the Katori Nation.

Fees for campouts range from approximately $40 to $75 for each person, per campout. If you are interested in registering as a new member, select the Membership link above.

After the Katori Indian program ends in third grade, the Katori Trails program takes over for fourth grade and up. Registration and campout payments are through this website, but more information is available at www.katoritrails.com.
