The Utah State Office of Education Title VII Program in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Red Butte Garden, the Urban Indian Center and the Utah Natural History Museum hosted the second annual of the Earth Connections Camp, American Indian Nature Camp on June 18.
The camp’s goal is to reconnect urban American Indian youth with their natural world and cultural heritage, organizers said.
The 30 campers, divided into two groups, spent the day at Red Butte Garden learning about American Indian traditions, history, arts and craft, storytelling and nutrition.
American Indian educators and specialists from the various partners led each of the learning stations.
Juan Palma, BLM Utah state director, was the keynote speaker. He shared his story of growing up in a family of migrant workers and the difference education made in his life.
Other activities during the day-long camp included building solar toys and constructing dams with the assistance of Bureau of Reclamation staff.
“I was so impressed with the instructors, volunteers, and especially the campers,” said Jeanette Shackelford, BLM Utah State Youth Program Lead. “The kids were respectful and attentive, and I personally learned a lot from listening to the different sessions.”
Organizers hope to continue to collaborate and expand the day-camp to have more students attend.

One advantage of sitting down is that you notice details that would normally escape you, like the connections between a pair of gallery cars. Looks like something "fun" to hook up during a cold winter day.

Been to the 'Ruud van Empel Photoworks 1995-2010' exhibit, at the Groninger Museum. These are just some quick snaps of two of my favorite pieces. More will follow, but the negatives need to be developed first.
One of the best parts about the New Vols Summer Send-Off: making connections with local families in the area. It can great for carpooling back home later..
Walking the back streets of Stoke Newington, London, England, and spied this pole with lines running to several homes.
