Playing games can have various health benefits, including improving cognitive function and memory, reducing stress and anxiety, increasing social connections and communication skills, boosting creativity, and enhancing physical coordination and dexterity. Games can also provide a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and enjoyment, which can contribute to overall mental and emotional well-being. Additionally, traditional games tied to Indigenous culture and lifeways preserve and promote cultural identity and values, as well as provide a deeper understanding of history and our intergenerational relationship with the Natural world.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in physical activity, mental dexterity, and ancestral teachings through traditional games and sports. Daily eco-tours will provide physical, mental, sensorial, creative, social, emotional, and spiritual rest. Participants will also have time for individual connection and conversation with the spirit of the land, promoting a deeper connection with Nature.
