Summer Camps 2025

YFNED is hosting a number of free summer camps this year, from harvesting to cooking, knife making to plants!

Please note that application does not guarantee a spot in the camp. We will be looking to ensure equitable access to camps. We will contact all successful registrants.

Drop-off up time is 9:00-9:30 and pickup time is 3:30-4:00 at the ILC for all Whitehorse camps unless otherwise stated in the description. Meals, equipment and transportation within Whitehorse is included. There is no transportation available to the camp in Teslin.
