and Day Camps
We are proud to be a leader in providing valuable camp and outdoor recreation experiences for people of all ages since 1924. Our camps inspire a love and stewardship of the outdoors, build skills and confidence, and nurture belonging. YMCA Camp is a place to return: You are welcome today, tomorrow, and 50 years from now, as a camper, camper family, camp staff, or camp alumni.

Land Acknowledgment
We would like to acknowledge that the land on which our camps are situated, is on the traditional territory of Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton peoples. We also acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws, and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today. Our camps are committed to building and nourishing relationships with Indigenous community members and upholding our responsibilities on the journey towards reconciliation. We are all treaty people with a responsibility to honour all our relations.
