Boozhoo! This camp is a cool opportunity to explore Ojibwemowen, the language of the Ojibwe people who have called this part of the world home for thousands of years. Craft and language are deeply connected in many cultures.This camp will offer students a chance to explore Ojibwe language and culture while engaging in hands-on activities in an immersion-style setting. Activities will include beadworking, cooking, and pouch-making.

This camp is open to youth ages 8-14. Half and full scholarships are available to Cook County and Grand Portage families upon request at the time of registration.

Camp Schedule: Full day camps are held from 9am-4 pm each day with an hour break from noon-1 for lunch and down time. You can drop your child off at their camp location up to 30 minutes before the start of camp each day. Campers need to be picked up by 4:15.

All full day campers must bring their own bag lunch to eat each day. We encourage kids to bring a book or quiet game for their break and they will have access to outdoor space in good weather to play during lunch break.

Attendance: Because projects worked on at camp build from day to day and learning extends throughout the week please only sign your child up for camp if they will be able to attend all five days of the camp week.

Pick up and Drop Off: You can drop your child off at their camp location up to 30 minutes before the start of camp each day.

All kids not walking/biking must be picked up by an authorized parent/guardian by 4:15pm
