[NAEP] Fwd: camp

[Dawn Wiseman]

So someone let me know that the attachment did not come through with the email.

I'm trying again, but it may be a function of the listserv. So, here 
is the key information and contact.

The camp runs June 20-28, 2008

Activities at Camp Nesbit, June 20-23, focus on group cooperation and 
communication, problem solving, leadership skills, self confidence, 
physical exercise, spiritual growth, social skills, and 
responsibility to self and community. Hands-on activities include a 
group obstacle course, high ropes course, and cooperative games. 
Academic activities include work with staff of the GLIFWC and other 
outdoor math and science activities.  Students also help prepare, 
serve, and clean up after the meals. They also learn and help with 
many of the cultural activities. Students also participate in a major 
service learning project and canoe trip.

Students will live in the cabins of the Camp and eat most meals in 
the dining commons. Recreation will include swimming, games, 
canoeing, nature hikes, and many other activities. Although this 
program is well structured, there is time for students to enjoy 
themselves as part of the group. There are no televisions, radios, CD 
players, cards, or other distractions to the program.

Activities on the campus of NMU, June 24-28, focus on work in the 
science and technology labs and in the classroom and other university 
facilities.  Instructors from NMU and other institutions will lead 
classes in the four areas.  Students will stay in the dormitories, 
eat in the dining rooms, and use university recreational facilities. 

In addition to students from the Nah Tah Wahsh/Hannahville Indian 
School, other Indian youth programs are invited to send up to four 
participants and one adult to the camp. Applicants must currently be 
in grades seven or eight, complete a registration form, and have an 
adult complete a recommendation form. While grades in all classes are 
important, desire and potential in STEM areas are more important.

Selection will be made on the basis of the application and space available.

Students will be expected to participate fully in all activities of 
the camp. It is important to the success of the students that they 
take part in all group and individual activities for academic, 
leadership, recreation, service and cultural awareness to the best of 
their abilities. At all times they will be under the supervision of 
the camp staff, including Nah Tah Wahsh PSA staff and other adults 
and college students.

Staff leadership includes Rich Sgarlotti, camp director, who is 
projects coordinator at the Hannahville Indian School/Nah Tah
Wahsh PSA;  April Lindala, director of the Center for Native Studies 
at NMU: and Martin Reinhardt of Colorado State University.

Parents of students accepted for the program will be required to sign 
a permission waiver for students to participate in all activities. 
There will also be a form to list any insurance carrier and to allow 
treatment in case of a medical emergency. These forms will be 
provided when the student is accepted to the program. Students 
accepted will receive a list of items to bring, contact information, 
and other permissions and list of camp rules.
