To address this real need for meaningful experiences for Indigenous children and youth, iEmergence, in partnership with local Indigenous leaders, provides two summer camp programs: Mish Adventures for those in Mishkeegogamang First Nation in Northern Ontario, and Kids Culture Camp for those from First Nation reserves in Southern and Central Alberta. Through these camps, we provide children and youth with the opportunity to explore a variety of new skills and develop meaningful relationships with camp staff in a safe, community-minded environment. As they participate in arts and crafts, sports, team-building games, swimming and learn from cultural stories, teachings and practices they are given the opportunity to step outside of their ordinary routines and imagine the world as a better place.
For more information on what happens in these camps, log on to www.iemergence.org.
In this critical time in the lives of these young people, getting to know Jesus, the One who created, loves, and understands them wraps around all the activities. The whole experience imprints powerfully...and for a lifetime.
