Abstract
Camp Abilities Four Corners is dedicated to providing culturally sustaining
activities, staff and surroundings for their annual Camp, which is held on the
Navajo Indian Reservation in northern Arizona. Navajo student athletes make up
about 66% of participants, and 19% of the staff. This article outlines components
which are embraced to highlight cultural considerations and provides suggestions
for other camps who wish to include Native American beliefs and customs of their
student athletes.
