Culture Camp

Over the past few years, Okotoks Indigenous River Camp has served as a place for Indigenous youth and Elders to come together and reconnect to the land. The camp’s purpose is centered on creating opportunities for young people to learn about their Indigenous culture, build relationships with Elders and find healing.

“Being in foster care since I was very young, I have never had an opportunity like this one before. Five days with so many Elders, hearing the traditional stories and language. I needed this.”
