YMCA Camps have been operating since 1907 and offer exciting Day Camps and Residential Camps at our two camp locations: YMCA Camp Elphinstone on the Sunshine Coast and YMCA Camp Deka near 100-Mile House. We believe that positive development begins when we are young, and that YMCA summer camps have a role to play in fostering healthy and happy youth. We provide role models, resources and opportunities to ensure that children and youth are well cared for in a nurturing environment. Our residential camps are all BCCA-accredited, and all staff are well screened and trained. We also offer Outdoor Education and retreat opportunities for community groups and schools.
