Are you a youth (secondary or post-secondary) who is passionate about Peace and Social Justice? Are you part of a youth group whose mission is to be the change you want to see in the world? Are you an adult who works with amazing youth and strives to support them in their quest for a more just society?
Join like-minded people for a weekend idea exchange on August 7-9, 2026 at Hidden Acres Retreat Centre

We are asking each participant to contribute $100, with the rest subsidized by Camp Micah. Registration will give options to provide additional support to the program or to request a bursary.

Camp Micah ran a weeklong peace and justice camp at Cedar Ridge for 15 years. We carry great memories and learnings of this camp into the Model Youth Justice collaboration. Watch the video below to hear what camp can mean to youth and adults alike.
