YEA Camp is a collection of experienced activists, credentialed teachers, and community leaders committed to a world in which people, animals, and the planet are treated with respect, and where everyone is empowered to take action, and express what matters most to them. Youths have the power to impact the environment, their communities, and our society as a whole. YEA Camp wants to help make this happen. YEA has fiscal sponsorship as a 501(c)3 non-profit through Earth Island Institute.

Our Camp Director - Nora Kramer:
Nora Kramer has learned the best practices of a variety of established summer camps working as a director or senior staff over the years. She has completed the intensive Basic Camp Director Course through the American Camp Association, and is certified in nonviolent conflict resolution with youth through the Help Increase the Peace.
Campers build lifelong friendships between youth with similar interests in bettering their community and society. Youth who have participated in our programs report that the camp was one of the most fun, memorable and life-changing experiences they have had, and, with YEA’s support, many have gone on to start school clubs, plan fundraisers for nonprofits, organize a call-in to Congress, and attend hearings to comment about important community issues.
