PROGRAMS DELIVERED AT THE CAMP – SUSTAINED BY THE FOUNDATION

All programs at the Youth & Family Wellness Camp are Indigenous-led and rooted in Anishinaabe teachings. Delivered by trained staff, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers, these programs meet children, youth, and families where they are, fostering belonging, pride, and growth.

The Ma’mo’weh Wii’soo’ka’tiwin Foundation does not deliver these programs. Its role is to raise and steward the funds that make them possible.

When you donate to the Foundation, your support flows directly to sustaining the programs that take place at the Camp, supporting staffing, materials, land-based activities, cultural leadership, and year-round access for children and families.
