Camps
Everyone should have the opportunity to make endless camp memories – playing games, swimming with friends, and discovering new skills!
At the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce we are proud to offer a wide range of day and overnight camp programs for youth aged 4 to 16 years old.
YMCA Camp programs offer your child or teen a caring community of friendship, highly trained counsellors who are passionate about their work, a safe environment to explore and gain new experiences, and the opportunity to learn independence and leadership skills.
YMCA camps are designed to provide your child with the opportunity to play, grow and meet new friends in a safe, nurturing environment. Programming focuses on having fun while increasing self-esteem, learning new skills and cooperating and respecting others.
Great care is taken in the hiring and training of our staff. All camp staff have been trained in YMCA Healthy Child Development, recognized under the High Five Quality Assurance Program. All senior staff are certified in Standard First Aid and CPR. Staff are selected on the basis of experience, skills and genuine commitment to children. All staff undergo many hours of pre-camp training to ensure quality programming.
