Culture Camp is a 4 day camp that runs the first week after school gets out. Our Title Vi program welcomes Native educators and leaders to help facilitate our four-day cultural camp. Our camp will focus on re-enforcing positive tribal identities and introducing youth to a healthy and mindful connection to culture activities such as Beading, Crafting, Language, and Native outdoor games.

The camo is open to students that are currently enrolled in 1st-12th grade. This is based on a first come basis.
