Turtle Island Centre to host summer camp for Indigenous high school students

The Turtle Island Aboriginal Education Centre has a limited number of spaces available in its summer camp running from Monday to Friday, July 24 to 28.

The camp is free to all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students in Grades 9 through 12, including 2023 graduates. Students will engage in hands-on activities across campus, while exploring different programs offered at the University of Windsor.

Program-based workshops will include activities organized by departments in the faculties of engineering, law, science, and arts, humanities, and social sciences. Participants will strengthen their teamwork skills with an escape room and at the Lancer Leadership Challenge Course.

The camp will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Breakfast and lunch will be served daily. Indigenous youth will receive cash honorariums at the end of the week for attendance.
