CAMP QAY’TL’ET: Lummi Nation Youth Grief Camp

May 7, 2026

We’re excited to share that Camp Qay’tl’et is returning for another year!  This special camp creates a safe and supportive space for Lummi youth to come together and explore their grief and loss in a nurturing environment.  Alongside grief education sessions, campers will participate in a variety of traditional camp activities, including hiking, art & crafts and team building games.

And through the guidance of trusted counselors and the support of camp cousins, we will walk together on journey towards comfort, understanding, and healing.  This camp is rooted in our values, our stories, and our strength as a community.  This is no cost to attend.
