Indigenous Sport Council Alberta (ISCA) is now recruiting university student interns for the SHED Summer Camp Program. Join us in Sucker Creek & Kapawe’no First Nation for a transformative summer work experience!
Embark on a life-changing journey with our Youth Leadership Mentor & Cultural Immersion Summer Program! Immerse yourself in Indigenous culture, empower youth leaders, and develop invaluable skills.
SHED Summer Camp is a holistic initiative promoting sports and recreation directly in Indigenous communities by fostering leadership and role modeling by community youth. As a youth leadership mentor you will play a unique role in facilitating youth leader training, preparing youth to be camp leaders. Then you’ll continue to be a mentor while contributing to youth and education programming in the community. As part of this experience you will learn from knowledge keepers and participate in cultural activities.
Program details: All youth leadership mentors will receive training in June and will take part in the Youth Leader Training and Camp Prep (Training Week). The minimum commitment is 2 weeks (Training Week + Week 1 of Camp).
Youth Leadership Mentors may also choose to commit to mentoring for additional weeks beyond the 2 week commitment [ full summer camp (6 weeks)]

Training Week - July 2-5
Summer Camp - July 8 - August 2
