Student Land Retreat | Ottawa | January 24th – 26th 2025

This January we’re running Student Land Retreat at Christie Lake Camp for Northern post-secondary students who are studying in Ottawa in winter 2025. This is an awesome opportunity to connect with the land, meet other students and take a break from the city for the weekend.

Get in early and let us know you’re coming by RSVPing here:

What will we do at Student Land Retreat? There is no set schedule. NYA will provide indoor and outdoor activities like sledding, beading, games and more and you can choose how to spend your time. You can hangout, study, sleep… whatever helps you feel ready for the winter semester!

*This event is for students from Yukon, NWT and Nunavut studying in the Ottawa / Ontario. NYA will provide transport between Ottawa and Christie Lake camp (there and back) as well as accommodation and food.
