International Camporees
In addition to an individual chapter's monthly camporee, an annual combined camporee between every chapter in the NSDCA is held in the summertime, often in rural areas. Activities during the week span from arts and crafts, to competitive games like horseshoe tossing and ring tossing, and programs for the youth. Square dancing parties are held on a nightly basis, and the daily newsletter is sent out during the day for the full week, along with door prizes randomly given to members.
