Cedar Glen: An Endless Pursuit to Perfect Fun in the Outdoors

31 October 2014 - by ymcablog

There are many reasons to visit YMCA Cedar Glen Outodor Centre in any season. During summer not only do we have offer a variety of different day camp programs but we continue to offer Outdoor Education programs to local summer schools, youth groups and adult conferences. Our Organic Farm is always at its peak in the summer and our farmer's market is open to the public every Thursday from 3pm to 7pm from June to October. As the leaves turn colour in the fall we help to facilitate teambuilding and orientations for school groups. Starting the new semester off on the right foot. In winter our 263 acres turns into a wonderland of snowshoe trails, toboggan runs and warm outdoor campfires that come spring blossom again into end of school year retreats.


But it is not only the space at Cedar Glen that defines each experience when you visit it is also our staff. We work hard to develop our craft. Whether it be facilitating a connection to nature, expanding comfort zones via teambuilding on our ropes courses or simply harvesting fresh organic produce from our onsite farm for each meal. Every staff member at Cedar Glen is dedicated to ensuring your visit is as unique as the group you arrive with.


As we prepare our site for our winter programs we look forward to seeing familar and new faces. It is our endless pursuit to perfect fun in the outdoors that makes Cedar Glen a place to return to year after year.
