ANISHNABE FUTURE LEADERS CAMP
August 17-21, 2008
At Clear Lake near Shingleton, MI
REGISTER SOON, SPACE IS LIMITED TO 40 YOUTH, AGES 13 -18
Anishnabe Future Leaders Camp provides an opportunity for youth from the Three Fires – Ojibwa, Potawatomi & Ottawa – to learn and practice culturally-based leadership skills and to make connections with Native youth from across Michigan.
Clear Lake Education Center is a rustic deep-woods camp located on a beautiful lake in the Upper Peninsula. Separate boys and girls cabin areas are joined by common classrooms, messhall and outdoor learning areas.
Activities: Clan teachings, traditional leadership skill-building activities, crafts, drumming, talking circles, pow wow, health and wellness workshops, speakers, swimming, canoes, group skills and Warrior Games.
Staff are Anishnabe role models, selected for their ability to “walk in two worlds” – to follow traditional Anishnabe teachings and to successfully work as craftsmen, teachers, youth workers, parents, service providers and tribal council members. This year a circle of elders will join us to share their teachings and gifts.
To apply, fill out the application, medical, media and participation forms (with parent or guardian signatures) and mail to the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan. You will receive a letter of acceptance by June 29th. There is no fee for Anishnabe youth. Space is limited! Apply now!
