The Métis Nation of Ontario is excited to be hosting the annual Infinite Reach March Break Camp from March 12th – 16th at the Canadian Ecology Centre in Mattawa, Ontario.
This 4-day camp is intended to inspire students to start planning for their future and to provide them with a deeper understanding of their Métis history and culture. Students will learn about the benefits of post-secondary education and develop valuable life skills along the way. Participants will enjoy cultural workshops throughout their stay and have the opportunity to connect with other Métis students from across Ontario.
The Infinite Reach March Break Camp is returning to an in-person camp format. The camp will immerse youth in their history, culture and way of life through engaging in activities that will allow them to practice and share the traditional skills and knowledge they acquire when they return to their home communities. The camp allows youth to interact with Senators, Métis knowledge holders, PCMNO members, MNO staff, and facilitators in events/activities that will span the duration of the camp.
