Share your summer photos and video clips with us
The days are longer, the air is warmer, and our landscapes are blooming – summer is here. When you are out exploring, grab your camera, and immersing your senses into the natural beauty which surrounds us. Visit beautiful places and discover natural wonders, national treasures, and hidden gems such as our calming lakes and enchanted forests.
It’s great for our wellbeing to get closer to nature and whilst out and about, why not capture the glory of summer and share it with us?
At YHA we love a beautiful photo or video clip, so we created the YHA Nature Challenge. We’re looking for photos and videos that capture the beauty and bounty surrounding our beloved hostel network.
We can’t wait to see what you discover when you stay with us…

How do I get involved?
1. It’s really easy. Simply get out your camera or phone and take photos or video snippets of the natural wonders, national treasures or hidden gems during your stay – if you’re feeling exceptionally creative you could even put together an Instagram reel! We challenge you to capture photos of:
- Blooming, rolling landscapes
- Wonderful wildlife such as bees and butterflies
- Hidden coves and untouched beaches
- National wonders, including streams, waterfalls and beautiful things you see on your walks
- Our properties. Show us the gardens and grounds in all their glory on a bright, summer morning
2. Share them with us on your Instagram and Facebook and tag us using the hashtags #YHANatureChallenge and #LiveMoreYHA. Or follow us and look out for your posts on our social media channels. We will only be able to see your photos and videos if your social media accounts are public.
3. We’ll pick our favourites and reshare throughout the coming months across our social media including Facebook and Instagram so keep an eye out as you may just see your photo pop up.
We can’t wait to see what our members, visitors, volunteers and employees capture this summer. Happy snapping!
