Qaulirmat ~ Youth Leadership Camp

“Qaulirmat” is an Inuktitut word that translates to "dawn is rising".

To us, it represents Inuit youth rising to build a bright future.

We support this generation of hope by developing programming based on 4 pillars that meet the youth where they are at.

  1. Welcoming Space: Qaulirmat through Inuit-led staffing, and curated activities provides welcoming spaces for youth.

  2. Infusing Healthy Activities on the daily (sports, group cooking, swimming, harvesting the land, bonfires)

  3. Access to Inuit Role Models: We directly connect youth with local role models. Representation matters and the impact of Inuit youth seeing success stories before their very eyes is of tremendous value.

  4. Connect, Connect, Connect: Building health relationships is at the core of everything we do. We intentionally build lasting connections with youth to our staff, the land, the water, and the community.
