YMCA Kanawana offers an exciting summer camp experience that focuses on fun, adventure, learning, and creativity in a safe & cooperative environment. It is a place where young people can learn about nature and be physically active outdoors while acquiring new skills, building self-confidence and establishing lasting friendships.
Our programs are guided by the YMCA Camping Principles available on our Mission & Values Page.
We have two main types of programs:
(Please note: Campers may register for more than one session/program).
RESIDENTIAL SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS
As a residential camper, your child or teen will be placed in an age-appropriate, single-sex, cabin or tent group. For Junior & Senior campers, mornings are spent enjoying two of their favourite activities of choice, while afternoons and evenings are made up of exciting cabin group and all-camp activities. Within our residential summer camp programs, there is also a new option for campers aged 10-16 to participate in an exciting 4-6 day canoe trip (Explorers & Adventurers).
For more details see the following sections below:
JUNIORS CAMPERS (ages 7-12)
SENIORS CAMPERS (ages 13-16)
LEADERSHIP & OUTDOOR ADVENTURE PROGRAMS
Camp YMCA Kanawana has been a leader in the area of outdoor leadership and adventure programming since its inception in 1894. We founded many of the first outdoor-based leadership programs for young people in Québec. Although Kanawana has a strong sense of tradition, we are committed to innovation and continually develop new programs and opportunities to meet the changing needs of today’s youth. We operate our canoe trips based on our principles of environmental sustainability.
The Voyageur programs offer a number of exciting canoe trip options for various skill levels and ages. We also have two leadership programs: The Leader-in-training program (Trailblazers) is for those looking to gain experience working with children, while the new! W.O.L.F program is a training program designed for people who are passionate about the outdoors and looking to gain experience in back country canoe tripping.
