Strengthening Connections, Honoring Culture

Are you a kinship or foster caregiver of an Indigenous child? Do you want to provide them with a deeper connection to their culture, traditions, and community? Our one- and two-day culture camps are designed to support caregivers like you in learning traditional parenting skills and building meaningful relationships with Elders, cultural teachers, and your child’s First Nation(s).  

What You’ll Experience

Our culture camps provide:  

Guidance from Elders and Knowledge Keepers – Learn traditional parenting practices and cultural teachings directly from Indigenous mentors.  

Hands-On Cultural Learning – Participate in ceremonies, storytelling, land-based teachings, and other cultural activities to help you support your child’s identity.  

Connection to Resources – Get introduced to cultural gatherings, language programs, and community events at your child’s First Nation(s) and/or traditional communities.  

Supportive Community – Meet other caregivers who share your journey and deepen your understanding of Indigenous worldviews in a welcoming space.  

Who Can Attend?

These camps are open to kinship, customary, and foster caregivers of Indigenous children who may not have strong existing connections to their child’s culture. Caregivers do not need to be Indigenous in order to attend. We welcome all who are open to learning about Indigenous culture

Attendance may be covered through:  

✅ Children’s Cultural Plans – Provincial child and family services funding (up to $500 per year) can support cultural programming for Indigenous children.
