Warm Springs hosting Salmon Camp
After nearly two years of
not holding the summer
Salmon Camp, due to covid,
the Columbia River Inter-
Tribal Fish Commission is
happy to announce the camp
is returning.
Salmon Camp 2022 will
be Monday through Friday,
August 22-26 at Camp
Namanu in Sandy.
The Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs are host-
ing the camp this year.
If your student wants to
learn about the science of
salmon, know more about
the tribal salmon culture or
help with a stream restora-
tion project, Salmon camp is
the place to do it.
Five students from each
CRITFC member tribe will
be selected entering grades
six through eight.
Salmon camp is free; how-
ever, space is limited and the
participants are selected
through an application pro-
cess.
Applications must be re-
ceived by this Friday, June
17. All meals and lodging are
included and a stipend will be
provided upon successful
completion of the program.
