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.
