In 2025, Camp Micah is joining with other groups who want to foster peace and justice leadership with youth.
Below you can see more about what Camp Micah brings to this new collaborative process that includes people of all faiths, spiritualities and worldviews.
Model Youth Justice Weekend
-
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 September 19 to 21 at Hidden Acres Retreat Centre
Individual youth and adults welcome. Youth Groups welcome.Some shared rides may be available once you are registered.

While this weekend is largely underwritten by Camp Micah, a Camp and Community for Leadership in Peace and Justice Education, a PWYC (Pay What You Can) contribution towards food is appreciated. The suggested amount is $50, but please don’t let finances be a barrier to your participation.

Transportation
With the inclusion of adults in the 2025 program, we hope that participants will be able to find their own way to camp.
We will try to help you find a carpool option if you are not able to get yourself to or home from camp.
2025 Fees
With partners, we are growing something new!
Join us! Thanks to our donors and granting organizations, fees for the September 19-21, 2025 weekend will be small. More details to come.
In 2025, the program will be a little different from the past.
BUT!….fun and learning how to make a difference in the world will stay the same.
Here’s what our 2024 Program looked like:
Home away from home
You will spend the week with 6 to 12 participants who, like you, are keen to get to know new people and learn about peace and justice together. Two fantastic leaders will be with your group throughout your time at camp. You will eat together and participate in morning and evening workshops as a group. If you come to camp not knowing another participant - don't worry! So many past participants have come to camp without knowing anyone and leave with life-long friends.
Daily Activities
At this beautiful camp site you can cool off in the pond, try kayaking or canoeing on the lake, go rock climbing, or try your hand at archery or tetherball.
Engaging workshops
At Camp Micah workshops are active and creative. We learn through play, role-play activities, film, group reflection, music, art, creative prayer, and so much more.
Develop your leadership skills and reflect on how you make a difference in the world. All while having a lot of fun!
