Finding Time for Dad & Daughter Isn't Easy.

Between work, school, screens, and everything else β€” the moments just slip by. Girls grow up fast. The years when they want to hang out with dad are shorter than any of us want to admit.

Indian Princess solves this by building dedicated dad-daughter time right into your calendar β€” with adventures they'll never forget.

πŸ“…

A Built-In Adventure Calendar

10+ events per year β€” camping, sports, building, racing. It's already planned; just show up.

Dads Who Get It

What Families Say

We joined when my daughter was 5. She's 10 now and still talks about her Indian name β€” "Swift Fox" β€” with the same pride she had the day she chose it. This program changed our relationship.

I was skeptical at first. I'm not an "outdoors person." But my daughter grabbed my hand on the first campout and said "Dad, this is the best day of my life." I've been all-in ever since.

The Sweetheart Dance is the highlight of our year. Watching her get dressed up and dance with her dad, both of them beaming the whole night β€” that's a memory that'll last forever.

James K.
Kiowa Tribe Β· 4 years

My daughter used to be shy around other kids. After one year in Indian Princess, she has 12 best friends and a confidence I never expected. The tribe community is unlike anything else.

The winter campout nearly killed me (it was 24 degrees). But watching my daughter roar with laughter around the fire at midnight, absolutely fearless β€” a night I'll never forget.

We moved to DFW not knowing anyone. Indian Princess gave us an instant community β€” for both me and my daughter. Six of those families are now our closest friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ages are kids in Indian Princess? β–Ό
Girls in the Indian Princess program are in elementary school and middle school.
Does my daughter need to camp before joining? β–Ό
Not at all! Many of our best campers started with zero outdoor experience. The experienced tribe dads will help you gear up, set up your tent, and handle everything. If you can build a fire, you're already overqualified.
What does the season fee cover? β–Ό
Season fee covers all nation events, campsite fees and ceremony fees. Individual events may have additional charges (see the specific event).
Can I miss some events and still participate? β–Ό
Absolutely. Life happens! There's no attendance requirement. Most families attend 6–9 of the 10+ events. We encourage attendance at the Opening and Closing campouts for the ceremonies, but everything else is fully optional.
What if my daughter plays sports? β–Ό
Dads are free to come and go with their daughters as they please. We understand that there may be games or activities on a Campout Weekend. Go to your games and come back for some s'mores that night!!!!
What are "Indian names" and do we have to have one? β–Ό
Choosing an Indian name is one of the most cherished traditions! Each dad and daughter chooses a nature-inspired name that reflects their character (e.g., "Running Bear," "Swift Eagle," "Two Hawks"). It's not mandatory, but almost every family does it β€” girls especially love having a special name used at ceremonies and on the trail.
Is this affiliated with any religious organization? β–Ό
No. The Yo-He-Wah Nation Indian Princess is open to families of all backgrounds, religions, and beliefs. Some local longhouses (groups of tribes) meet at church facilities for convenience, but there is no religious affiliation or requirement.
Is this related to the Indian Guides Program? β–Ό
Yes! Indian Guides (dad's and sons) and Indian Princess (dads & daughters) are brother sister programs. Many families participate in both. The Indian Guides program in DFW is run by the Wichita Nation β€” visit dfwguides.org for more information.
