Alumni
At over 110 years old, Camp Pine Crest has seen many faces. If you have taken part in any programming on our site - congratulations, you're an alum!
Our hope is to gather more of our Alumni together to create a formal group to keep the history of Camp Pine Crest alive and help pass it on to new campers.
Volunteer Work Weekends
Missing Camp Pine Crest but can't make it to one of our family or group events? Get your fix by helping us out during a volunteer work weekend! Come up to Pine Crest for the weekend and get room and board in exchange for helping us maintain your home away from home. Bonus, students can use the time as community service hours!
Work weekends happen in the spring and fall each year.
Keep an eye out on our social media pages for announcements about the next volunteer work weekend date.
Pine Crest Adventure Triathlon
Join us for our Adventure Triathlon and Open House Fundraiser!
For those aged 16+, you'll Swim 600m, Run 5.1km, and Paddle 2.5km to Snake Island and back. Only the very best can finish in less than an hour, are you up for the challenge? Younger Pine Crest friends can participate in our Youth Fun Triathlon (9-15 yrs) or Children's Biathlon (5-9 yrs). Funds raised go towards the YMCA’s financial aid program which helps subsidize Y programs and camper fees so families who may otherwise not be able to afford it, can send their kids to camp.
Triathlon 2025 dates have not been announced yet.
Stay connected on our social media pages for upcoming dates and information on how to participate and donate.
Polar Dip
Every year, our Pine Crest team take the icy plunge into Clear Lake to raise funds and help send more kids to camp. We're not just testing our cold resistance; we're doing it to raise $5,000, making camp dreams come true for kids who need a little extra support.
We invite you to join the excitement by tuning in on Pine Crest's Facebook page for the live jump. Whether you're donating, starting your own fundraising campaign, or feeling the urge to brave the chill with us, your support creates ripples of joy that last a lifetime.
The 2025 Polar Dip date has yet to be announced.
Alumni Events
Twice a year Camp Pine Crest hosts Alumni Events so we can all get together and reminisce about our favourite place. Whether it's at Pine Crest reliving our glory days or celebrating the Holiday Season at a restaurant in the GTA, we look forward to seeing and catching up with everyone!
