Participants stay on our main site in cabins and take part in activities around site. These programs provide opportunities to try new activities, team build, and to improve on current skills in the outdoors. Programs can be customized for your elementary, high school, college, or university students by tying curriculum-based programming into your classroom lessons. Students learn about the great outdoors with a range of environmental education activities and a hands-on approach to what nature has to offer. Programs feature traditional camp programming such as archery, canoeing, ropes courses, canoeing, kayaking, and campfires.

Participants split their time between activities on site and on trip allowing for both learning experiences. Hybrid trips usually last 3 days, 2 nights with one night spent off site.

We provide hosted programs for groups that want to run most of their own activities during their stay. We have a wide range of buildings, facilities and a beautiful setting to host your event. Hosted programs include 2 hours per day of recreational activities lead by our qualified staff, 3 hot meals and meeting snacks as required. YMCA Camp Pine Crest staff are happy work with you to accommodate your group’s needs.
