Supporters
The YES extends programs to youth across all socio-economic backgrounds, urban and rural environments, and various identities. Our ability to ensure inclusivity in our programs is made possible by the extensive support from sponsorships and subsidies provided by co-ops, credit unions, schools, and service clubs throughout the province. All of our programs are subsidized by funding from BC’s credit unions making camps more affordable for families.
For many young people, financial barriers make it impossible to access transformative leadership programs like ours. Sponsorships and donations ensure that youth from all backgrounds can participate in our unique curriculum, developing critical life skills, building self-confidence, and forming lasting connections. By supporting The YES, partners are helping to empower the next generation of leaders, giving them the tools they need to succeed and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
In 2025, more than 49% of our participants received either full or partial sponsorship to attend The YES summer camp programs! We are so grateful to our our co-op and credit union supporters.

Sponsor a Camper
Sponsors of The YES Camp support youth in their communities by removing financial barriers, giving them the chance to attend a week-long innovative and experiential camp that focuses on leadership skills. By providing sponsorships, our supporters open the doors of camp to young people across the province, giving them the chance to build confidence, form lasting friendships, and experience the power of community.
Sponsors can contribute partial or full sponsorships to one or more campers. Partner with The YES to create the best model for you and your organization. Learn more and become a supporter by emailing director@theyes.ca.

"I’ve never felt more supported, loved and heard than when I’m at camp. The lessons I’ve learned and connections I’ve made will last forever. Camp is home.”
