The YMCA of Three Rivers offers 3 overnight camps and many local day camp programs. From introductory overnight camps for the youngest explorers to more focused streams including canoeing, kayaking, Leaders/Counsellors-In-Training, ropes and rock-climbing, drama, music, art, and more. All female-identifying and coed options also available. Call us today to find your camp.
You really can’t go wrong with a YMCA camp, and there are a few very good reasons for that. The Y has been fully invested in camp programs since Taylor Statten first developed them for the Y in 1902. In the years since, the programs have grown and diversified, literally providing the models that the vast majority of camps looked to when they created their programs. The culture of camps has grown as well, and the organization now has an embarrassment of riches, from top-level administration to program staffing. Everybody involved is here because they want to be here, and have demonstrated a passion and ability to work with kids through the core tenets: mind, body, spirit. Because of the extent and breadth of the operations, the standards are set extremely high. It can be frustrating, at times, to fill out all the online registration forms, but, nevertheless, they are testament to how everything is run: professionally, with care, experience, and expertise. Between the three camps run out of the Kitchener-Waterloo YMCA, there is a diversity of options, allowing campers to grow from their first overnight experiences close to home, to intensive tripping in Killarney or sea kayaking on Georgian Bay. As such, the KW YMCA is a one-stop shop of the full range of quality camp offerings, and quality, established programs and locations.
Covid-19 Program Modifications We’re listening to our public health units every day to stay informed on the steps we can take to ensure our procedures follow all the public health recommendations like hand washing, physical distancing, monitoring campers and staff for symptoms and more. The plan we are developing follows all these recommendations so you can be safe and healthy at camp.
Health screening: Prior to arrival to camp, camp families will sign a form when you get dropped off at day camp. The form will declare that you: Do not have a fever Have not come in contact with a person with COVID-19 within the last 14 days Have not travelled outside the country within the last 14 days Are not experiencing a cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea and/or vomiting
Handwashing: By now you are probably a pro at washing your hands for 20 seconds. We will ask you to wash your hands when you arrive at camp, throughout the day and before and after lunchtime and snacks. Handwashing stations or hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60%-70% alcohol will be made available. Visitors will not be permitted inside camp: This helps to safeguard our efforts in screening campers and keeping everyone safe.
Physical Distancing: Where possible, we will help you have 2 metres of distance between you and other campers. However, due to the nature of camp and the need for our staff to closely supervise you and other campers, we will strive for this goal but it may not be achieved at all times
