Water Protector’s Training Camp
Water Protector’s Training Camp (WPTC) is a new program from Title Track that provides an opportunity for young people to connect with professional artists and activists to create music, creative writing, art, and video while exploring their commitment to being a Water Protector.
The first cohort of WPTC occurred at Earthwork Harvest Gathering 2022. We recently completed our Water Protector’s Training Camp (WPTC) with 3rd-5th graders from Rapid City Elementary, in partnership with Seeds. The students spent time with the river, engaged in creative practice, and learned about the 4 ways to be a water protector through the lens of the butterfly model for transformative justice (resist, reform, build, heal).
We are excited to offer several more sessions of WPTC this summer that are free, open to kids & grown-ups of all ages, and a unique opportunity to learn from professional artists and activists.
