Spirit Point has reawakened its Native roots as a host and provider of traditional Indigenous programming. The facility and sacred land surrounding it has been blessed by several First Nation elders who hold the place as a spiritual vessel to help educate and heal all Indigenous cultures.
Spirit Point wishes to deepen its partnerships within First Nation communities by aligning with providers of experiential and learning programs focused on Indigenous culture. These partnerships include schools, youth organizations and corporations. Spirit Point promotes these partnerships with the goal of increasing the growth of Indigenous awareness.

- Teacher professional development workshops
- Niigan Mosewak (OPP youth camp)
- Native Child and Youth (youth at risk camp)
- Hamilton Aboriginal Health Center (Diabetes and HIV awareness)
- Indian Friendship Center (cultural and family camps)
