A church in Iowa sent 38 students to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to lead a weeklong bible school.
The students plan the curriculum, the activities, the meals and lead the school, the pastor of the St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Des Moines said.
The church has been running the camp for at least 11 years.
Nearly 120 Lakota youth attended this year's session, The Des Moines Register said.
