Indian Education Summer Camp 2026 was a blast!

We were jam packed with fun and exploration

Day 1: We visited the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina Culture Center. The kids loved learning all the history, playing stick ball and touring the grounds.
Thank you to the Lumbee Culture Team! (Reggie, Brad, John and Taylor; Miss Lumbee) ❤️💛🖤🤍

Day 2: We played with clay and paint 🎨 We also had a great time doing team building activities with the CITs with Cumberland Parks and Rec. Thank you Tyshica for all your help!
The students also designed and made their own necklaces! 😍

Day 3: The students engaged in FIIRE lessons through AISES learning about microbits and coding. They also created their own windmill using the STEM kits. The students also built and designed their own planes with kits from Home Depot. We also explored the Cape Fear Botanical gardens 🌿🌱🪷
