THEMATIC CAMPS FOR GIRLS AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH A CREATIVE GENDER
The theme camps are for girls and creative youth aged 12 to 17 who want to develop their talent while having fun. No experience is required and our team can accommodate everyone.
We currently offer three camps: Rock Camp, Skate Camp and Leadership Camp.
The camps have in common that they develop different strengths in youth, including:
- Their self-esteem, by having the opportunity to be challenged and to have fun;
- Their critical thinking, giving their opinion and defining their group identity;
- Their power to act, by collaborating in action to achieve common goals.
Camp rock
Introduced in 2017, the rock camp allows young people to get into action, to experience teamwork and the conception of a concrete project, that is to say the composition of a song, and its recording to then perform it on stage, all, during one week. The mission is to encourage girls and gender-diverse youth to thrive in a healthy educational environment. The camp also aims to give voice to the most marginalized people and provide them with positive female, non-binary and trans role models in the music community.
Rock Camp is a great opportunity to:
- Create lasting and positive connections with other youth;
- Interact in a spirit of social diversity;
- Develop self-confidence;
- Take initiative and exercise leadership;
- Explore new opportunities that they might not otherwise have access to.
Camp is rolling!
The week-long skate camp allows young people to learn about a sport traditionally dominated by boys and men. The youth are accompanied throughout the week by skateboarding instructors who teach them the basics of the sport*. The YWCA Quebec’s popular education officers lead various non-sport activities on topics such as women’s place in society and in sport, stress management and going to new places. As skateboarding is a solitary sport, we also note that the youth who participate in the camp are generally isolated or not very socially active. The camp therefore aims to reduce their isolation and allow them to create meaningful connections with youth of their age.
Camp ça roule! is a great opportunity to :
- Reduce the impact of gender stereotypes in sports;
- Support youth involvement in sports and in a healthy, active lifestyle;
- To promote the participation of girls and young people in the creative genre in predominantly male sports;
- To encourage perseverance, passions and courage in young people;
- To help young people discover various places to skate in Quebec City.
Leadership Camp
Introduced in 2021, the one-day Leadership Camp takes place during spring break. Through this camp, we want young people to recognize their different human and technical skills, and be able to put them to good use in different spheres of their lives. By taking part in a variety of activities throughout the day, young people have the opportunity to experience dance, theater, speaking and debating, and artistic creation. They also have the opportunity to discuss various social issues, such as the place of girls and women in society, inequality, racism, the environment, physical and mental health, and so on.
The leadership camp, a great opportunity to:
- Create links with other committed young people
- Learn about the different ways to be a leader in your environment
- Developing without self-confidence
- Learn about current issues
- Valuing their life experiences
