Camp #inTENTSity 2014
The CARE Program will again be holding Camp #inTENTSity this
summer, after a successful first camp last year. Camp #inTENTSity is a two
day, one night camp for youth ages 12-17. All youth, both tribal and non-
tribal, are invited to attend.
The focus of Camp #inTENTSity is Healthy Relationships — with yourself,
you family, peers and dating partners. Healthy relationships involve both physical and emotional well-being.
Teens participate in workshops covering a variety of topics as well as participating in crafts, theater and
sports activities. Multiple workshops are presented at once, allowing teens to choose the topics that interest
them the most. Camp is free to all participants and meals are provided.
Are you interested in teaching a workshop at camp? Workshops typically last 1.5-2 hours and can be held on
both days of camp or just one. Workshop ideas include: conflict resolution, healthy communication, dating
basics, bullying, drug & alcohol prevention, self-defense, zumba, yoga, theater, crafts and cooking, just to
name a few. We are always open to suggestions for other topics.
Registration forms are due to the CARE Program by July 11th. Registration forms can be picked up at the
Siletz Valley School, Siletz Tribal Administration and several Lincoln County Libraries. They can also be
downloaded from the CTSI website. For more information, contact Brittany Russell at 541-444-9679 or by
email to brittanyr@ctsi.nsn.us.
