Another Successful YFGA Youth Outdoor Education Camp! 🏕️
From July 1–5, twelve young Yukoners spent five unforgettable days at Lapie Lakes learning fly fishing, archery, fi***rm safety, trapping, canoeing, wilderness survival skills, hide tanning, campcraft, and much more.
This year, we received an unprecedented number of applications from youth across the Yukon—a testament to the growing interest in outdoor education and the importance of programs like this. While we could only accommodate twelve campers, it's inspiring to see so many young Yukoners eager to get outside, learn new skills, and develop a deeper appreciation for Yukon wildlife and conservation.
A huge thank you to our outstanding chaperones and instructors—Richard Cherepak, Tracy Bowers, Kathryn Grimmett, and Dustin Doerntlein—for making this camp such a success. We'd also like to thank Aaron Florian, and Greg and Lorna Spenner of Yukon Stone Outfitters, for their incredible hospitality, outstanding meals, and the countless hours they dedicated to teaching and mentoring our campers throughout the week.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, knowledge, and support to make this year's camp possible.
We can't wait to do it all again next year! 🌲🐟
