Become a leader in lateral kindness!

Are you interested in bringing a fun and interactive summer camp to your community? Then you’ve come to the right place.

We’d like to empower young leaders to create positive change in their First Nation community, schools, and even workplaces. Together, we’ll celebrate what makes each of us unique and build a future grounded in respect, kindness, and care in a space that’s safe, supportive, and fun.

This fun and interactive Leadership summer camp is designed for Youth!

In this workshop, we’ll explore what it takes to create positive and supportive group dynamics, including:

  • Communicating with confidence and clarity

  • Resolving conflicts in healthy ways

  • Navigating friendships and social dynamics

  • A chance to reflect on your own strengths and growth

Our goal is to give you real tools and insights to help you build stronger connections, handle tough situations with confidence, and create a culture of kindness and teamwork at school, with your friends, and in community spaces.

Each day, you can expect a mix of group work, creative projects, and fun, hands-on activities, for example:

Day One: Understanding Our Experiences and Building Kindness

  • First, we’ll talk about real-life situations like gossip, exclusion, and moments that don’t feel good. We’ll take time to reflect on how these experiences affect us

  • Then, we’ll shift the focus to what feels good: kindness, respect, and empathy. We’ll explore how we can bring more of that into our friendships, school, and online spaces

Day Two: Speaking Up in a Positive and Kind Way

  • First, we’ll think about how to say what you mean in a way that’s respectful and real

  • Through games, role play, videos, and creative activities, we’ll practice using our voice in everyday situations

  • Then, we’ll learn how to speak up for ourselves and others while keeping things positive

Day Four: Understanding Power and Fairness

  • First, we’ll learn about what power means and how it shows up in friendships and groups
