Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off, and it's amazing to see such talent in action. A special thank you to Coach Marquez, Coach Justus, our UCSD HS Wrestling Team and volunteers who made this event possible. Your support and guidance have been invaluable in helping these young athletes reach their full potential. Keep up the great work, and continue to shine on the mat!

Is your child too young for Camp Qungaayux? Sign them up for PCR’s Camp Adgayux! Adgayux is the Unangan word for little pink salmon. As the local salmon are hatching and growing, your children will have the opportunity to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Unalaska’s indigenous people. Children will learn about Unangan values, traditional arts, storytelling, and songs. Children will also go exploring outside and learn about the plant life of the island; what is edible, what is dangerous and what can be used medicinally. This is a wonderful opportunity to help your children connect to and understand the amazing native culture and history of Unalaska!
