      That Education is a blend of culture, tradition and technology, the program will encourage our First Nation youth to pursue career educational paths in Science and Engineering. It will offer a number of children an opportunity to participate in the First Nation Science and Summer Camp.
      Kisipanakak Wilderness Camp is situated ten (10) miles south of the Cross Lake First Nation along the Nelson River. The Kisipanakak Wilderness camp was constructed in the fall of 1995.
