Three local youth leaders attend the First People’s Youth Camp held on the Great Falls University campus the week of June 16-21, 2008.

Each student had to submit an essay on how they would utilize the Entreprenuerial knowledge and skills obtain at the camp. The camp is a culmination of a five month planning effort to train Native American youth in Montana. The camp was funded by a grant from Rural Dynamics, First Interstate Bank, Community Development Section, and University of Great Falls. The university gave each student who completed the camp a four year scholarship.
