Just over 30 Days left to register for The Native Youth Wellness Warrior Camp 2024 for Native Youth ages 12 - 18 who want to create and maintain a healthy life!
ABOUT THE CAMP
Traditionally, our young people were mentored and taught how to live a good life. Through hands-on experiences, stories, and teachings, they learned how to be a good relative. The camp is intended to provide healing opportunities and skill development through ceremony, workshops, activities, movement, traditional games, crafts, and more! Youth participants will be given tools needed to live a life of balance. The Native Youth Wellness Warrior Camp will be hosted by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde on their beautiful territory in Oregon.
