An Inukshuk is a stone structure that resembles a human. They were traditionally built by the Inuit to act in the place of messengers. They were often used as navigational aids to guide hunters in the right direction towards good hunting and fishing places, safe travel routes or a good resting spot. The Inukshuk has changed over time. Today, it is not uncommon to see these structures along roadways or in gardens. Each one is unique and the meaning depends on the intent of the person who builds it. It may be built as a marker to communicate with another person. It may give a message of friendship or joy. It may be a symbol of personal strength or it may guide people to a special place.

We believe that Camp Inukshuk will guide your child in the right direction in the areas of speech, language, social interaction, cognition and emotional development.
