Between July 17-21, 2017, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Historic Sault Ste. Marie Métis Council (HSMC) worked with MNO staff in the MNO Sudbury office to stage a one week youth summer camp called Portage: A Youth Journey.

Portage: A Youth Journey was open to 12 participants between the ages of 9 to 14. The camp ran from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. During the camp, the young people were divided into focus groups to discuss important topics such as healthy relationships, self-awareness, dealing with emotions and self-acceptance.

During these focus groups the youth also engaged in several different activities.

The activities included: kids in the kitchen, where youth participants were equipped with the necessary tools and resources for proper food handling, exploring healthy food options and meal preparation and planning.
