Planning
We are inviting Tribal youth (12 to 17 years old at the time of camp) to register and attend Natural Resources Tribal Youth Camp. The camp will be held from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Thursday, June 15th to 18th with limited availability.
Natural Resources Tribal Youth Camp aims to encourage our youth to engage and learn about environmental issues, how to better protect and support our Tribal natural resources while facilitating and innovating sustainable development. Camp will provide youth engagement and participation opportunities to learn about environmental concepts such as: Great Lakes ecosystems; clean water, air, and land; stewardship activities; scientific inquiry and critical thinking; and cultural values. We are excited to participate and further develop local place-based learning opportunities for our Tribal youth to experience and we look forward to collaborating with local Environmental partners and educators such as Chippewa Watershed Conservancy, Chippewa Nature Center, the Little Forks Conservancy, Forest Hill Nature Area, and other Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe departments with environmental and educational initiatives.
*Lunch will be catered by Nbakade
