Rappahannock Rising Voices: Empowering Native Children

During the summer, something remarkable happens at the Rappahannock Tribal Center. The laughter of Rappahannock children fills the air, stories from our ancestors are shared, and connections that shape lifetimes are built.

This is our Indigenous Children's Summer Camp, the beating heart of the Rappahannock future.

Because of the generosity shown on Giving Day, we are preparing to welcome our Tribal kids back this July. As camp approaches, we're asking for your help to ensure every child can fully participate.

For one full week, our children step into a place built for belonging where they learn Rappahannock language, carry songs passed down through generations, sit with tribal elders, and hear the stories that have sustained our people.

This is more than a traditional summer camp; it is a bridge between generations and a place of belonging.

For many of our Tribal children, this is their only opportunity to gather with one another and be fully immersed in their culture with their community.

But this experience can’t happen on its own.

Your support today helps provide meals, supplies, learning materials, cultural activities, and support to make camp possible.

Camp begins at the end of July, and your gift today helps ensure every child has what they need to participate fully.

Give to the rising voices of the Rappahannock Tribe, help our children grow in culture, confidence, and connection.
