Ayukîi! We had a great Orleans summer program this year with tons of fun crafting, riding mountain bikes with being introduced to skate boarding with Charlie Caldwell, playing sports, hitting the courts and spending A LOT of time beach side. Big Yôotva (thanks in Karuk) to Roseanne Ritchison and the entire Karuk Education department for bringing the math and science camp to us with solar ovens, medical career path learning, water slides, and a magical science show! All those who earned fair bracelets will be contacted shortly. Another big Yôotva to the Gensaw family for teaching the kids to cut up áama (Salmon) and showing how to cook it on sticks. That was the best river day ever! Thanks for beating the heat with us all this summer in Pánamniik (Orleans).

Big thanks to all that came and supported our 2nd annual Skate camp! 🛹 🛹 We had over 40 youth attend coming from all over the county. During the two day camp lots of youth got to skateboard for the first time and others showed off some of their skills. Shout out to our skateboarding mentor Charlie Caldwell from for bringing out all the boards and helmets and for sharing his wisdom and love of skating with our youth. We look forward to hosting more of these types of community events in the future.
