Camp CRAVE is a 4-day summer camp that focuses on healthy living. CRAVE stands for Culture, Recreation, Active, Values, and Education. Some of the activities include: tobacco prevention, campfire activities, alcohol awareness, hiking, paddle boarding, social/ emotional learning, swimming, fishing, nutrition education, group games, archery, cultural activities, and more! There are three sessions each summer: Foxes (ages 8-10), Wolves (ages 10-12), and Bears (ages 12-14). Foxes Camp is a day camp with one overnight stay at the AKMR building in Nook, just 18 miles outside of Nome. Wolves and Bears Camps are sleep-away camps held at Bear Creek Fish Camp in Council, Alaska.
Camp CRAVE was originally started as a tobacco prevention camp and evolved into CRAVE in 2013. Camp CRAVE would not exist without the support of our volunteers and funders, both private and through grants.
