Youth Summer Camps
The deadline for full consideration for summer camp programs for 2010 has passed. Any proposals received after June 7 will be considered as funding allows.
For many years, and especially during the 1970's, AAIA funded summer camps for Native American youth. Tribes and organizations that have existing summer camps that focus on diabetes or language preservation/cultural preservation are welcome to submit a proposal for funding toward critical portions of their program that might not otherwise take place if funds are not received from outside sources. These grants are intended to be seed money and fund a small portion of the camp cost, not to cover the entire cost of the camp.
All of AAIA's programs are dependent upon the generosity of our donors, therefore the availability of AAIA funding for summer camps may change from year to year. Organizations may apply on a yearly basis.
AAIA is proud to have been able to provide funding to 8 summer camp programs in 2009 and we look forward to providing funding for camp experiences for Native American youth in 2010.
