Why this matters
Getting Wabanaki youth out to Saturday's running camp is the heart of this weekend. The camp is an opportunity for our young people to learn from Indigenous runners, connect movement to culture and history, and build community across Nations. Families, coaches, and relatives — please help us get 5 to 10 youth from each of our communities to Indian Island on May 9.
