The Cherokee Nation will begin taking applications for the 2019 Camp Cherokee on Friday, March 15. Camp Cherokee offers day camps for elementary students and a week-long residential camp for middle and high school students.
Camp Cherokee is free to Cherokee Nation citizens and exposes youth to arts, culture, traditional games, storytelling and activities that focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Day camps are for Cherokee Nation students entering grades 1-6 during the 2019-20 school year. They will be offered in six locations throughout the Cherokee Nation in May, June and July.
Residential camp is held at Camp Heart O’Hills in Welling July 21-26. This overnight camp is for Cherokee Nation citizens entering grades 7-12 during the 2019-20 school year. Students will attend morning and afternoon classes based on their areas of interest. Cherokee Nation youth who live outside the tribe’s 14-county service area are also welcome at the residential camp.
Applications for day camps and residential camp are available online at www.camp.cherokee.org beginning March 15.
