The West Bend Kettle Kampers are family oriented with 40 plus families in the chapter, ranging from tots to grandparents. Members camp in all types of units from tents to motor-homes and select campgrounds within a 100-mile radius of West Bend. The Kettle Kampers do not camp as a group on holidays. The Kettle Kampers usually schedule two campouts each month from May though October, in addition to
the two Campventions in June and August. Members are free to attend the campouts of their choice. Members volunteer to host campouts. It is up to the host family whether they choose to schedule activities and games. Members enjoy playing cards, swimming, shopping, riding bikes, golfing or just relaxing. Potluck on Saturday is the norm unless the host family plans otherwise.
