Tahlequah, OK - The Cherokee Heritage Center will host the first Family Cultural Campout designed for all ages on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28.

Youth and elders alike will come together in one village to learn, share and experience the arts of our Cherokee ancestors.

Don't let your family miss out on this opportunity to experience and take home a part of Cherokee culture. Spend two days and over night in the Ancient Village with Cherokee storytellers, artists, demonstrators and dancers. Help keep our Cherokee traditions alive by registering your family for a weekend getaway! Discover the hands-on skills of blowgun making, basket weaving, clay beads or make your own pair of miniature ball sticks.

At $150 per person, meals, lodging, art materials, games and all events are included. Tents are provided. Campers must provide own bedding. All traditional arts created are make and take items.

Deadline for registration is April 1, 2002. Availability is limited to 25 participants in each work area (blowguns, baskets, clay beads, and mini stickball sticks). Please call, 918-456-6007 or toll free, 888-999-6007 to confirm availability and request a registration form and visit the website.
