|
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 is facilitated by the Native Wellness Institute and hosted by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde on their beautiful territory in what is now called the state of Oregon.
