Activities and Descriptions

These are some of the activites we have planned. This page will be updated gradually as the time for the event approaches. Stay tuned for further posts!

Outdoor Events

Predator Prey

Imagine the most insane game of tag you can, then give it a furry theme, and you have Predator Prey. The event will be held Saturday afternoon. Bring your running shoes and enjoy!

Free-Throw Contest

Meet at the onsite basketball goal to shoot free throws. Fursuiters and others welcome to watch and participate.

Volleyball

We'll have a net and some volleyballs, and plenty of room to spread out and have fun. Fursuiters and non-suiters alike to join in on the fun!

Bocci Ball

Two teams go head to head in this simple but addictive game. The first member of your team tosses a ball, and the others try to get as close as possible. Simple -- except the other team is also trying to get close, while knocking your Bocci Balls out of the way. It's a game that mixes both luck and skill.

Kickball and Wiffleball

The softball field that is part of the Group Camp provides a perfect space for these outdoor events. To avoid random property damage and serious injury, we'll be playing Kickball and Wiffleball rather than the usual softball, but when fursuiters get mixed into the teams things get interesting.

Performance Events

Variety Show

A mix and match of performances to showcase the talents of our attendees and staff. Come to rehearsal and show it off, then appear for the performance. Anything from puppet skits to dancing to comedy to skits to musical performances are part of this.

Campfire Sing-a-Long

Bring an instrument or just your voice and join in on songs around the campfire. If you have requests, please bring tablature/guitar chording or sheet music and lyrics so others can join in on the fun. If you don't know the words, feel free to howl along.

Whose Paw Is This, Anyway?

Furry Improvisational Comedy where the audience is encouraged to participate and make the performers -- fursuiters and non -- do the wackiest Improv skits possible. Fun for performers and attendees.

Fursuit Twister

Our hope is to create a twisted, tangled mass of fursuiters and those out of suit on our large outdoor twister mat.

Food Events

Chili Cookoff

They've been mates for a decade, but still the debate rages on! Help Heros and Travis decide, once and for all, who has the best chili recipe. Others are welcome to bring their own chili batches as well, though you have to supply your own ingredients. Refrigerator space is available!

Guest of Honor Meal

A special meal for supersponsors, select staff and guests, it is a special six-course gourmet meal created from scratch by our chef, Travis. Special dishes served by volunteer waitstaff create a memorable experience, with a menu to be posted as the event grows nearer. Includes soup, salad, fresh bread, appetizer, main course, and dessert!

Cooking Workshop

Forget about store-bought bread and make some real dough. Travis will guide you through basic bread steps. You'll learn how to handle and knead dough, form loaves, and bake for a perfect crust and crumb. Plus, you'll learn how to perform special artisan crust effects to achieve unique and tasty loaves.

Charity and Presentation Events

Furry Swap Meet

This is a new experiment in Charity Events. Held in the standard auction format, this event comes with a twist. Here's how it works.

Bring your old furry-related merchandise
Whatever it sells for in the auction, you get half of that amount as a credit toward whatever you want to buy at the auction. The rest goes to charity, along with any unused credits.
Staff reserves the right to refuse any item, or to bundle items together from the same contributor to expedite sales.
You can bid on items even before your items sell. Everybody just squares up at the end.
If it doesn't sell, you take it back home.

So clean out those closets, garages, attics, etc. Find those plushies people gave you that you didn't have room for, or those old comics that you've read enough times. Turn your old stuff into new stuff, and help a worthy cause in the process.

Opening Ceremonies

The official start of the event, where you will meet the staff, find out any last minute announcements, and help launch the event toward a successful conclusion.

Closing Ceremonies

All good things must come to an end, and this is where final announcements, special thanks, and presentation of any awards can be made. A great chance to recap the whole event and bring it to a close.

MESA Meeting

By attending Wild Nights, you become a full voting member in MESA, the Missouri Exotic Species Arts Association, the organization that runs Wild Nights. This provides a chance for you to not only give feedback, but also have a vote and help select officers for the following year.

Panels and Roundtables

Furry Divinity

A panel discussion and roundtable on theology and spirituality for all those who want to partipate in a respectful manner. All faiths and traditions are welcome.

Fursuit Meet and Greet

For Fursuiters and Non-fursuiters who want to talk about what them got them into suiting or has sparked their interest in this branch of the fandom. Open, friendly discussion to meet others and share experiences.

Duct Tape Dummy

The first step in commissioning or building a fursuit to create a model that represents your body for the suit to fit properly. Usually, this is created out of duct tape over clothing. This workshop/panel will assist you in creating your own duct tape dummy that you can use. You must provide your own long-sleeved shirt, pants, and duct tape (3-4 rolls). These items will be consumed in the process. We suggest cheap pajamas for the clothing.

Social Games

Who's a Werewolf?

Fun party game for 6 to 30 people. In what was a peaceful village, someone is murdered by werewolves every night. You must decide which of you it is, and remove them. The game continues until all the werewolves are caught -- or until all the villagers are gone. A fun social game of intrigue and fantasy.

Apples to Apples

The classic party card game, guaranteed to get wild, wacky, and a great way to get to know others.
