Attending the YES Camp as a teenager was one of the single most important events in my life. The lessons and environment based on compassion, respect and understanding have forever shifted my perspective almost ten years later and the tools I've gained from the program I still use to this day. The Youth Excellence Society is doing some of the most necessary work needed in this world, and I will forever be grateful I was able to take part.
This camp has been one of the greatest parts of my year for the past 3 years in a row. Whenever you go here you are meeting new friends and genuine people. The YES's atmosphere is welcoming and open, and I have learned so much about myself, my emotions, and skills for making change and taking initiative within this world. The YES is uniquely positive, and manages to give you a lifetimes worth of lessons within a week. There are also scholarships and bursaries available, and this camp has always been very accessible to all. P... read more
My daughter was so nervous and a little apprehensive at drop off but When we came to pick her up, she was in tears because she didn’t want to leave the amazing friends she made! Camp was amazing and pushed her out of her comfort zone, which in her words “ was the highlight “ Reunion was wonderful as well. She can’t wait for 2025.
Yes Camp is literally my favourite place on earth! I feel so at home with such a fantastic community!!! :)
The YES changed my life at 14 years old, and I cannot recommend its programming enough for any teenager looking to know themselves better, meet friends or try new things this summer! Take the risk! Its worth it!
