Family Camp-out

Sesequon Healing Society and White Bear Rising are honoured to present the Wahkomaganuk Family Healing Camp at Rock Island Lake — a culturally grounded, land-based gathering focused on healing, connection, and community wellness. Rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and guided by Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and lived experience, this camp creates a safe and supportive space for individuals and families to reconnect with culture, spirit, land, and one another.
Set within the natural beauty of Rock Island Lake in Treaty 8 territory, between Calling Lake, AB and Wabasca, AB. The camp offers a week of cultural teachings, ceremony, storytelling, traditional practices, wellness activities, and trauma-informed healing opportunities. Participants will engage in land-based learning experiences that promote resilience, identity, belonging, and intergenerational healing while strengthening family and community connections.
The camp recognizes the ongoing impacts of colonization, residential schools, grief, loss, addictions, and intergenerational trauma, while also celebrating the strength, wisdom, and resilience of Indigenous peoples. Through cultural revitalization, sharing circles, traditional teachings, and time spent on the land, the gathering aims to restore hope, empowerment, and balance in a holistic way that supports mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
This gathering is inclusive and welcoming to all people seeking healing, understanding, connection, and community. Together, through culture, compassion, and reconnection to the land, we continue the journey of healing for current and future generations.
Donations and volunteers are welcome and help support the ongoing success of this community-led healing initiative.
