Description
The Open Outdoors program is designed to ignite a love of the outdoors by offering accessible outdoor activities to empower equity deserving communities to be comfortable in the outdoors. Equity deserving communities are those historically under-resourced and under-represented in outdoor education and include Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA , and disabled communities. In addition to these groups, the program also aims to engage Indigenous youth and families recognizing the specific historical colonial inequities tied to land access and the outdoors that has led to Indigenous underrepresentation in outdoor education. Outdoor activities will vary based on the location and time of year, but could include canoeing, fire building, orienteering, outdoor cooking, and more. We encourage participation from individuals or families/extended families, but please note that youth must be 16 years old to participate without adult supervision.
September 21st at YMCA Camp Pine Crest – 10:30 am to 3:30 pm (bussing available from the David Braley Vaughan YMCA). This experience will be focused on boating and outdoor living skills – with a chance to try canoeing and kayaking alongside our experienced instructors. We'll spend most of the day outside, so come prepared for the weather and don't forget your water bottle! All boating equipment like PFDs and paddles will be provided for all participants, but we recommend that you bring a bathing suit or change of clothes in case you get a little wet! We will be providing lunch to all participants at 12:30pm, so please don't forget to indicate if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions when you register!
The bus will depart David Braley Vauaghan YMCA (corner of Apple Mill Rd. and Buttermill Ave.) at 8:00 am and return around 6:00 pm. Lunch will be provided at YMCA Camp Pine Crest (please be sure to indicate any dietary restrictions when you register). Registration for this program is individual - please make sure to register each person that will be attending.
