Location: The University of Michigan Biological Station (on Douglas
Lake, near Pellston, MI)
Camp KinoMaage is a week‐long, hands‐on science summer camp for
middle school students from Michigan Native American tribes.
Students who participate in this residential program explore a
number of questions about science and culture through
investigations at the University of Michigan Biological Station on
Douglas Lake, near Pellston, MI.
During Camp KinoMaage, students learn and participate in scientific
activities, and actively engage in field experiences. Cultural ties are
also a dominant theme throughout the week as students have the
opportunity to interact with Native American elders from surrounding
tribes, and are also taught the Ojibwe language by staff and faculty
from the University of Michigan Native American Studies program.
Designed to encourage and expose students to information about
college preparation, academic enrichment, and career exploration,
Camp KinoMaage also provides youth with the opportunity to interact
with current U‐M undergraduate and graduate students from similar
backgrounds. This educational experience is an exciting opportunity
for students to meet peers from all over the state of Michigan and
provides youth with an opportunity to gain skills and tools that will
support their academic success.
