Native Youth entering the 5th grade through 8th grade are invited to attend the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Natural Resources and Education Departments Summer Youth Environmental Science Camp being held July 6th to July 29th. The Native Youth in Science Preserving Our Homeland camp will be held Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

In addition to learning the science needed to keep our water clean and land healthy for people, fish and wildlife, youth will learn the origin stories of our people and our land and connections with our language and the natural world.
