Description
Welcome to Kindred 2025 at YMCA Camp Pine Crest!
This is an annual event open to all current YMCA full-time camping professionals (outdoor education, overnight camp and day camp!) staff across CANADA! We're looking forward to connecting with you for 3 days of networking, teambuilding and professional development opportunities. Our goal is for you to walk away with strengthened support systems in the federation, feeling even more confident in your role, as well as new ideas to continue to enhance your programs and support your staff.
Please feel free to arrive anytime after 11am on Wednesday to settle into your accommodation, and we will kick-off the event with a welcome at 12pm in our Winter Lodge, followed by lunch at 12:30pm. Departure will be after 11am on Friday.
Registration for this event is set up 'family style'. One person from your organization/facility can register up to 5 people as a part of this booking. Once you've added the first person you'll have the opportunity to pay for other individuals attending and questions will appear to list everyone's names and provide personal details like food allergies/dietary restrictions. Please also use the 'Cabin Mate Request' question to let us know if there are any specific living/housing details you'd like us to know about individuals or your group.
Speaking of housing! We'll be living in a combination of our cabins and lodges while at Pine Crest. Our cabins are one-room spaces each containing 5 bunk beds (sleeps max 10). Washrooms are not in the cabins but rather nearby. Our cabins are scattered around our beautifully rugged site, but are not all fully accessible. If you have questions about the accessibility of a cabin please send us an email. Our Lodges are dorm-style buildings with washrooms in the building. Each room has two bunk beds in it (sleeps max 4) and each Lodge has 6 rooms. Our Lodges are accessible.
If you have any questions about the site or event please reach out to leigh.king@ymcagta.org. If you are coming from out of province and it would be easier to arrive the night before, or stay an extra night, please equally reach out to Leigh and we can make a plan so you can join us!
