Native Creatives Scholarship

Thanks to Charlesbridge Publishing and support from Traci Sorell, cabin 21 at the retreat center has thoughtfully been sponsored to celebrate the significant contributions of Native American writers and illustrators in the field of children’s literature. The cabin sponsorship includes a yearly scholarship celebrating Native Creatives’ Voices.

“Powwow Day wouldn’t be in the world if I hadn’t gone to where the magic happened in Cabin 7, and revised that manuscript instead of working on a NIV while I was there.”
