The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is thrilled to introduce a new virtual camp series for youth aged 11-14. The MNO’s Culture and Way of Life and Early Learning and Child Care teams would like to invite Métis youth to apply to the first youth virtual camp session, “Sewing At Its Finest”, which will be held on June 10 and 13, 2026.
This virtual camp opportunity is designed to provide Métis youth aged 11 – 14 with an opportunity to learn about Métis history and learn new hands-on skills in sewing, embroidery, and cross-stitch. The youth will also learn ways to market and sell their creations, offering potential avenues to earn money from their creations.
This virtual camp is specifically geared towards youth ages 11-14, and adult supervision is not required for participation. Please note: that siblings who fall outside of this age range are not permitted to attend these sessions.
Each participant will receive a kit with all of the materials needed prior to the event. This virtual camp is being offered on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, from 6:00 – 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), with an optional follow-up drop-in session on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm EST.
