2013 Tours & Camps

InterTribal Youth's eye-opening guided tours are our most popular programs.
Each year we lead small groups of Native Youth and Adults as well as non-Native folks on tours and outdoor adventures which weaves Academics, Adventure, Recreation, and Cultural Exploration into life-changing experiences.
Optional, educational course work is tailored to students and there is no GPA requirement to participate.

What the Youth Want. When The Youth Need It.

Majesty is the backbone of California. The highest mountains and the freshest lakes hold the spirit of the people. Timeless, ancient wisdom in crisp air. The Paiute-Shoshone, Miwok, and Mono People lead ITY through their diverse lands. We go to the lows and highs of earth and history. Feel the experience of an educational adventure in indigenous science and knowledge - from mother earth and her first people.

Enjoy 4 days and 3 nights under the stars, on the water and in the depths of natural history. Our ancient past is fathered and mothered by ancient changes in geo-logical time - earth sense. Earth is our class room, earth is our church. Kayaking, hiking, boating, smiling, and singing.
