The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Natural Resources Department is now accepting applications for POH 2026, a summer program for Native youth entering grades 5–8. This unique camp brings together modern science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, giving youth the opportunity to explore the local ecosystem while learning how our ancestors understood, cared for, and sustained these same lands and waters for generations.
The program will run Tuesday, July 7 through Thursday, August 6, and offers youth a chance to learn through hands-on experiences, outdoor exploration, and teachings rooted in stewardship and connection to place. POH continues to be a meaningful space where science, culture, and community come together.
Families interested in having their child participate are encouraged to apply soon. Applications are due by May 9. For more information, contact the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Natural Resources Department at 508-477-0208 and ask for Janez Ruzzo, ext. 141.
