About 500 Indian children are attending the Native Visions three-day summer camp in New Mexico.
NFL and NBA veterans and college athletes are teaching the students not just about sports but about life. The athletes emphasize discipline and education.
The camp is sponsored by the Center for American Indian Health at John Hopkins University. It rotates to different locations every to two three years.
