ANSWER Camp

Despite great support from Alaska's high-growth industries and Native Corporations, ANSWER CAMP 2010 will not take place due to lack of funding.

For the past 12 years, ANSWER Camp has been funded through a U.S. Department of Education grant. After receiving notice that ANSWER Camp 2010 did not receive federal funding, SERRC immediately tried to raise funds through private sources. Despite great support from several companies, SERRC was unable to raise the amount needed to host camp this summer. SERRC has applied for funds through several sources to fund ANSWER Camp 2011.
