Will this be like school?
No. We'll spend lots of time outside, looking for plants, hiking,
visiting Kluscap’s caves, swimming, checking up on oyster cultures, and
learning about wilderness survival. Also, here you get to do the things
we talk about, build a wigwam, weave baskets, listen to traditional stories,
play waltes. It is like school in other ways because there is a schedule
you have to follow.
Who else will be there?
Last year we had students from nine Nova Scotia Bands. This year we
hope to get students from them all! We might even have visitors from outside
the province. So if you'd like to meet new people, this is the place for
you!
