Camper Programs
Being at camp is a unique, memorable and rewarding experience. Our goal at YMCA Camp Pine Crest is to provide a safe and unique environment for children to push themselves out of their comfort zones, disconnect from technology, learn, socialize and grow. We sleep in cabins of 8–10 people, eat in dining halls as large groups (up to 300 people), and are outside most of each day enjoying quality time with nature. We expect all campers and staff to treat one another with kindness and respect, and help others enjoy their time away from home. Our hope is for campers to return home with greater confidence, new friendships, and excitement for their outdoor surroundings. Many return to camp year after year!
This is a 3-day, 2-night overnight camp experience specifically designed as an introduction to overnight camp for our youngest campers! Campers will explore the various aspects of camp, such as swimming in the lake, exploring wooded trails with their cabin mates and counsellors, paddling in a canoe and/or kayak, creating arts and crafts, campfire song, roasting marshmallows and more! Campers will live in our "lodge" style accommodations that have washrooms right inside them!

One Week Camp (Ages 7 -11) One week camp is perfect for campers who are nervous about trying camp for the first time or are not quite ready to leave home for an extended period of time. Campers will stay busy trying out as many programs as possible from high ropes to swimming and even an overnight canoe trip on the Pine Crest property. We limit this program to a smaller age range to ensure that our programs are developmentally appropriate and we best meet the needs of our campers. Available for Bantam (7–9-year-olds) and Junior (9–11-year-olds) campers.

Two Week Camp (Ages 7-14) Our two-week program is the quintessential Pine Crest experience for campers. In this program, we focus on skill mastery and relationship building. Over the course of this program there are plenty of opportunities to learn and develop skills in daily lessons. Furthermore, campers will develop incredible bonds with their cabin mates and counsellors by spending time with them each day in programs, at meals, and on a canoe trip. Every two week cabin group will go on a canoe trip that ranges from one to four nights in length. The length of your camper’s trip is based on their age. Available for Bantam (7–9-year-olds), Junior (9–11-year-olds), and Pioneer (12–13-year-olds) campers.
