Senior Traditional

Senior Traditional The Senior Traditional Program has remained one of our most popular programs for over 60 years. With nine days at camp and five days on trip, “Trad” campers get the best of both worlds while enjoying the full extent of YMCA Wanakita’s diverse programming. The five-day canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness provides each cabin group with a meaningful challenge to work toward. The sense of purpose and adventure fostered in this program will help any camper gain self-confidence and build lasting friendships.

Senior Trad First Year (13 by end of year attending camp) 

The Senior Trad First Year trip offers an exciting trip for first time and experienced campers alike as a grand welcome to the Trad program. Routes are selected to provide time to hone skills while taking in the beauty of rocky shorelines and sharing campfires under the stars.

Senior Trad Second Year (14 by end of year attending camp)

This five day trip is the flagship experience of our Senior Traditional program. With a little more age and experience, these campers are ready to venture out in smaller cabin groups to meet new challenges and enjoy the beauty of one of Ontario’s iconic wilderness parks.


Character Development: This program helps build the following traits

  • Resilience: Both first and second year senior traditional campers will have the opportunity to experience new skills in more challenging environments. This will foster growth and ownership over new experiences.
  • Physicality: During their stay, the senior traditional campers will be put under through more physical challenges than some other campers. This experience allows for greater physical improvements and mental health awareness.
