Valley of the Latte Culture Camp

Valley of the Latte Adventure Park is hosting its summer culture camp for kids ages 7 through 13 through Aug. 13 this year. Each camp takes place at the Talofofo park, which will be hosting 25 campers each two-week session.

During the sessions, campers will learn:

• How to create both practical and beautifully decorative woven items from coconut leaves, pago fiber, and akgak. Campers will learn how to identify leaves for weaving, understand the differences and the different uses of each type, and connect it all to the rich cultural heritage of Guam’s people.
• How to select, husk and prep freshly picked coconuts to make coconut candy and other uses.
• How to care for the local wildlife and how to become an ally of wildlife conservation. Campers will learn about the historical and cultural significance of the island’s animal life while they care for and feed the animals every day.
• How to carefully explore the surrounding areas and leave only footprints. Campers will engage in basic hiking safety and best practices, learn about the cultural significance of the local area, and embark on guided hikes through the valley while carefully documenting their environments.
• How to use a kayak through basic kayaking safety, lessons on paddling, steering, and navigation. Campers will be taken on guided tours over calm waters of the only navigable riverways on the island.
