At St. Joseph's Rising Eagle Day Camp, Native American children in need enjoy activities designed to let kids be kids.
For four weeks, St. Joseph's bus travels more than 120 miles — EACH DAY — to local reservations. At the meeting spot, up to 100 Lakota (Sioux) children wait, hoping they will have one of the limited seats on the bus. Back at St. Joseph's campus, the boys and girls enjoy traditional arts and crafts, Lakota games and more. Two hearty meals and snacks complete the day … all in a safe, stable environment.
Because camp is always free to those who attend, we need to raise $60,000 by June 23 to cover all the costs. Please donate today!

"I like that we get lunch every day. I like the food a lot. It's good!"
