The Education Division will be hosting an Enrichment Camp for Summer 2025! This fun and engaging camp will take place three days a week—Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays—for two weeks, starting Tuesday, July 15th and wrapping up on Thursday, July 24th.

This opportunity is open to Suquamish Tribal Members and household students who will be entering grades Kindergarten – 6th in the fall. So whether your student is just starting their academic journey or heading into middle school, they are welcome to join in on the experience!

Camp activities will include exciting options such as:

  • Marine life and tide pool exploration
  • Beach tide adventures
  • Archery
  • Sports and recreational games
  • Field trips
  • And so much more!

In addition to all the hands-on activities, students will also have time for academic support, including reading sessions and engaging worksheets to help keep their minds sharp over the summer. Our goal is to make learning fun while supporting students’ continued growth in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

To help us prepare meals and coordinate trips, please submit applications no later than June 30th.

If you’d like to sign your student up, or if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Suquamish Elementary Academic Coaches:

Tribe releases Suquamish Economic Development Strategy draft for public comment

/in

Tribal members invited to provide comments and feedback!


Help build a strong & sustainable economic future for Suquamish Tribe

The Suquamish Tribe is pleased to announce the release of its DRAFT Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for public review. This five-year strategy, funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, offers a roadmap to guide the tribe’s future economic decision-making and financial growth strategies.

The CEDS is not an operational plan and does not outline specific projects. Instead, it identifies strategies based upon research into the tribe’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within our region.

We invite all Suquamish tribal members to review the DRAFT CEDS report and share your feedback. The Public Review Period ends July 15, 2025.

View the DRAFT report here.

A Public Hearing to receive feedback will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 18 via Zoom. Look for a link in the SUN Weekly Update in early July.
