Youth Programming
Goldbelt Heritage Foundation sponsors culture camps that provide fun, educational, and culturally rich learning opportunities to students of all ages.
GHF offers youth camps for middle and high-school aged students.
Watch for our upcoming Youth Wellness Advisory Board application, scheduled to launch on May 30, 2025, and close on June 20, 2025.
These day camps are usually held in June or July and include a variety of hands-on cultural activities that include immersion in Tlingit language learning. Camp activities can include:
- Harvesting
- Traditional food preparation
- Formline Design
- Cedar Weaving
- Cultural Field Trips

Camps are offered by GHF, often in partnership with other organizations. Past partners have included Goldbelt, Inc., the University of Alaska Southeast, the Juneau School District, and more.
The camps are offered free of charge, and travel scholarships may be available to assist out-of-town students with travel expenses to Juneau.
Registration is first-come, first-served, and Native preference does apply. However, all students are welcome.
