Is there any cost to participate?

Qmunity Camp NWT is FREE for youth to participate thanks to our generous funders and sponsors. We will pay for camper travel, accommodations, and food during the length of camp.

I identify as 2SLGBTQIPA+ but I’m not out to my guardians, what do I do?

It can be super scary to tell the people in our lives that we live a part of the 2SLGBTQIPA+ community, and some people don’t react well to that disclosure. We want you to know that our board and staff will NEVER disclose your identity to anyone. Camper safety in and out of camp is our number 1 priority. If you want to apply for camp and are unsure how to do so safely please reach out to our Camp Director, Lindsay on our social media, by phone (867-445-5937) or email (info@qmunitycampnwt.com).

Can I bring my phone/tablet/ipod to camp?

Qmunity Camp NWT is held at the Camp Connections site on the Ingraham Trail outside of Sǫ̀mba K'è (Yellowknife). The site is completely off the grid and we do not have access to cell reception. To fully immerse ourselves in the experience of connecting with the Land we don’t limit use of electronic devices and ask participants to forgo the use of phones while in session. We do play music on-site though, have a polariod camera to capture memories and bring instruments for some good ol sing a longs!

What kind of support will be available to me during Camp?

Qmunity Camp NWT has Camp Leaders that will be there to support campers. We have Leaders in Training who are young adults who previously attended camp as a camper. Our Camp Support Person who is always there for chats, laughs, and helping hands. Our First Aider to handle any of your physical needs. Our Mental Health Professional to handle any of your emotional and/or mental needs. Our Camp Director, Lindsay, is Two-Spirit and looks out for our spiritual needs. Our Camp Cook, Bernie, who’s there to fill our bellies with yummy food and just vibe! And of course, our two camp pups Morti and Radagast who are always down for some belly rubs and cuddles!

I don’t have any camping gear, can I still attend?

Of course! If you are in need of a sleeping bag or pillow please let us know and we will be sure you have it for camp! The cabins on site have twin-sized mattresses but we need to bring our own bedding. Please let us know if you need any gear to support your time at camp.

Are there bathrooms/showers on site?

Currently, we have access to portable bathrooms on-site for bathroom use. During the summer, we have access to the beautiful Cameron River to swim in and freshen up and portable showers. Unfortunately, due to winter limitations, we cannot provide showers for use, but campers have been known to wash their hair in buckets!
