Arctic Circle Educational Adventures

(A Culture Camp)

Possible activities during your visit to LaVonne's Fish Camp

LaVonne’s Fish Camp offers you an opportunity to meet local Inupiat Eskimo people. Discover their culture by sharing with community elders; observe their traditional healing practices, enjoy their dancing and games, and inspect their crafts – birch baskets, beading, bone and skin masks and ivory craving. Experience Eskimo story telling.

A stay at LaVonne’s Fish Camp offers many possibilities – beachcombing for shells and old ivory, hiking to Loon Lake, observing the reindeer herd at Sadie Creek, setting fish nets and picking salmon from a net, harvesting plants from the tundra and the beach for use as food and medicine, cutting salmon Eskimo-style so it stays preserved without refrigeration, bird watching, and many other activities.
