As part of the tipi camping experience, we offer Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Programs. This is provided through a partnership with Aboriginal resource persons. Currently, Candy Morningway provides this service at the Retreat. She creates a fun and interactive atmosphere for learning more about the Aboriginal culture.
