CULTURE CAMP
IF YOU GO TO THE CULTURE CAMP
YOU WILL FEEL LIKE A CHAMP.
IT IS IN AN OUTDOOR SCHOOL
BUT IT IS REALLY COOL.
YOUR CLASS WILL BE OUTSIDE
AND YOU WILL LEARN WITH PRIDE.
IT’S THE STUDENTS WISH
TO CAMP OUT IN THE BUSH.
YOU WILL SLEEP IN A TENT
AND YOU’LL FEEL 100 PERCENT.
WITH SNOWSHOES YOU WILL WALK
AND YOU’LL HEAR ELDERS TALK.
YOU’LL CHOP WOOD WITH AN AXE
AND YOU’LL SEE LOTS OF TRACKS.
ELDERS WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO SET A SNARE
AND LOTS OF OLD STORIES YOU’LL HEAR.
YOU’LL PLAY TRADITIONAL GAMES
AND YOU’LL LEARN THE GWICHIN NAMES.
A DOG TEAM YOU WILL DRIVE
AND YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO SURVIVE.
IN THE TENT I WILL PLAY MY FIDDLE
AND SOME KIDS DANCE IN THE MIDDLE.
THEY’LL TEACH YOU TO CALL MOOSE AN’ GEESE
AND YOU WILL LIVE IN PEACE.
YOU’LL SKIN A CARIBOU WITH A KNIFE
‘CAUSE THIS IS CULTURE CAMP LIFE.
