Summer Discovery Program

Since 1997, the Department of Education has been pleased to offer the Summer Discovery Program to tribal youth in grades K-8.  The five-week summer program offers academic and cultural activities aimed at building leadership skills and creating positive team experiences.

Activities our children have been a part of in previous years include making pottery, Tewa language instruction, science and math skill building, traditional farming and cooking, and introductions to ballet and opera.

In addition to using community members to teach many of the classes, the program incorporates teen-age counselors as role models and mentors for the younger children.

If you would like to enroll your child in the Summer Discovery Program, apply as a teenage counselor, or volunteer to teach a session, please contact the Department of Education at 852-3477.
