MENDING WINGS' SLAM TRIPS
Mending Wings offers a program for students to learn about Native missions. It's called SLAM Trips-Students Learning About Missions. This program is unique in that it allows students to be immersed in Indigenous culture instead of just being taught about it. Specifically designed for students to introduce them to Native cultures they may not have contact with. Food, lodging and activities are all included in the fee so parents and students don't have to worry about that.

LIVING WATERS' FAMILY CAMP & POWWOW
July 27-30, Aldersgate Conference Center, Turner, OR
For 10 years, Wiconi has hosted a camp for Indigenous and non-indigenous families. Wiconi Family Camp is a blend of the good aspects of our North American Indigenous culture and the rich heritage we have in following Jesus as Native people. Native and non-Native people come and experience life and freedom as followers of Jesus-some for the very first time.
