In Fall 2024, the Lindy Waters III Foundation hosted its first Culture Connections Camp in Norman, Oklahoma

This exciting event brought Native youth from across Lindy’s home state together for a day dedicated to mindfulness, cultural learning, and mental health awareness.

Fostering Wellness and Culture

Our inaugural Culture Connections Camp in Norman, OK was a resounding success, offering physical, spiritual, and mental health and wellness activities to both Native and non-Native youth.

Participants engaged in enriching experiences such as:

  • Stickball

  • Basket weaving

  • Yoga

  • Developing personalized mental health plans.

Each attendee received yoga mats, notebooks, shirts, and bucket hats, fostering a sense of community and support.

Partnering for a Purpose

This impactful event was made possible through the generous support and collaboration of our partners, Rise Above and Norman Public Schools. Together, we created a space where youth could connect with cultural traditions, explore wellness practices, and build resilience. Their contributions ensured a meaningful experience for all participants, highlighting the power of community partnerships in fostering growth and learning.
