Summer Program
NAYEP is a summer program for Native American children ages 6-13. NAYEP serves children of all tribal ancestries from all across the Boston area.
Our summer program runs 9 am to 4 pm on weekdays. Our mornings are focused on curriculum, and our afternoons are usually reserved for fields trips and constructive recreation (such as swimming lessons).
Curriculum covers all major academic areas. We also focus on Native culture, history, myth, and identity, as well as health and environmental issues, multiculturalism and developing creativity.
Each classroom is led by a senior counselor and a junior counselor who is a former camper and a high school student. We strive to provide meaningul and positive Native role models for the campers. NAYEP is a unique and life-changing experience for campers and staff alike.
