Summer Time is here! Do you know a child or teen age (8-11), (12-15), (16-17) that would like to be active, have fun, live Anishinaabe culture, be around elders, speak Anishinaabemowin, learn to paddle a canoe/kayak and receive certification with a qualified instructor and be involved with an environmental stewardship project?
