For our Pow Wows out outpost brings 5 large wall tents that one of our
congregants generously made for us (what a blessing!). Generally, the boys
sleep in tents by age group w/ an adult leader in each one for discipline.
We have a tradition of inviting dads to go along to Pow Wow. Some years it
seems we have more men than boys! But that's okay. In our district Pow Wow
is used as a ministry tool to men too!
