Join Ubuntu Anglers in empowering BIPOC youth through nature camps, fishing education, and ‘Casting in the Park’ events. Building future leaders, one cast at a time.
The Ubuntu Fly Anglers 2025 Summer BIPOC Youth Nature Camp is a unique educational opportunity designed for a small group of youth, ages 12-18, who self-identify as Black or Brown. It is led by the Ubuntu Fly Anglers Network, a community of Black and Brown fly anglers, environmental activists, and educators based in Spokane, as well as across the U.S. and Canada. We recognize that today’s black and brown youth are tomorrow’s environmental activists and river warriors. This camp is specifically designed to introduce and encourage our youth to live healthier lives outdoors.

We take our responsibility to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all young participants seriously, and we have taken deliberate steps to ensure that every youth-involved event is held to the highest standard of care.
To that end, we have established the following policies and procedures to protect our youth participants and ensure accountability across our organization:
- Adult Volunteer Policy for Youth-Involved Events

These policies exist to protect our youth participants and ensure our volunteers and leadership are equipped and accountable. Thank you for your continued commitment to making our programs safe for every young person we serve.
