The Truth and Reconciliation Camp is an important opportunity for youth to begin learning about the history of colonialism and residential schools while increasing traditional knowledge and cultural literacy.
Whether it be a field trip to pick sage, a visit to a sweat lodge, a sharing circle with an Elder, a group read of a graphic novel, a workshop to create medicine pouches, or a fiddler playing to us through the Métis fiddle style, our campers have learned to look back at our history, understand our present, and empower one another for a future of reconciliation.
