Ceremonies and American Indian Activities weekend, also know as ICE and AIA weekend will be held April 9th thru the 11th at Camp Chief Logan. Craft workshops related to American Indian regalia will be held along with Ceremonies coaching, training and discussions. There will be time for fellowship and other activities as well. The cost for the weekend is $30.00 which covers all craft materials, supplies and food. The first ICE and AIA weekend held last year was alot of fun, we made center seam moccasins and did some bead work. This year will be even better, but you will have to decide. Join us in March.
