PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Tewa Roots Society's Basecamp After School Program is a prevention and mental health program. We offer youth the opportunity to collaborate on youth-led initiatives, have access to mental health resources, work on self-esteem building, learn communication skills, practice self-care, learn how to create safe and equitable space, and participate in cultural programming like beading, traditional cooking, regalia making and a variety of other activities that incorporate Tewa language and traditions. Our Basecamp After School Program facilitators will offer outdoor adventure and youth empowerment programming, Youth Council involvement, therapeutic group work, space for processing emotions and thoughts that arise during activities, and peer support. We offer many activities including a large assortment of experiential games and activities facilitated from a cultural lens created by clinical and mental health professionals for therapeutic purposes. We value our connection to land, water, and our plant and animal relatives, and we regularly demonstrate how these reciprocal relationships can nurture therapeutic effects. These therapeutic effects are also imperative to our suicide and substance use prevention programming because they help empower and build the resilience of our youth and teach them new skills to navigate the complex challenges that exist in our communities. Please read through and fill out the following form thoroughly. If there is any missing information, we will contact you and ask you to complete your submission.
BASECAMP REGISTRATION FORM This registration form must be signed by each adult (18 years of age or older) participant in a Tewa Roots Society event, or by the parent or legal guardian of a minor participant. “Participant” as used in this agreement refers to persons participating in an event, observers, chaperones, and others on the premises of Nambé Pueblo or any other activity sites. Minor participants must sign inside the box on the last page to acknowledge their understanding of the activities and risks, and rules and responsibilities.
ATTENDANCE POLICY NOTICE Although daily attendance is not a requirement of Basecamp registration, attendance will be tracked via our sign-in process. That said, consistent attendance and participation, or lack thereof, may affect your youth's ability to participate in special trips/opportunities that Tewa Roots Society Basecamp Program may offer in the future (e.g. Adventure Programming and Youth Council activities). If youth will be absent, we request that the youth or guardian notify a member of TRS Youth Program staff as soon as possible.
