What do we do? Pathways is the next step up from our Roots programs. Participants take on greater responsibility and are challenged to expand their leadership, self-awareness, and team-building skills in the spirit of fun and friendship. This camp provides participants with an opportunity to become even closer as a community, having already met each other at the Roots level. For more information, take a look at a typical day at YES camp and some of our favourite camp activities

Who should sign up? This program is designed for older youth who have previously attended a Roots camp (prior YES experience is required). If you haven't attended The YES before and are older, please sign up for our Roots D camp for an introduction to our program.

Note: If you are interested in attending a Pathways camp but have not attended a Roots camp, please contact us at [email protected] to discuss options. 



Character Development: This program helps build the following traits

  • Interpersonal skills: At The YES, youth grow empathy and communication through teamwork, reflection, and peer leadership. Campers learn to listen deeply, speak confidently, and collaborate with kindness—skills that strengthen connections in every part of life.
  • Resilience: The YES Camp builds resiliency through challenge, reflection, and support. Youth step outside comfort zones, learn from setbacks, and discover inner strength with guidance from caring peers and mentors.
