Fall Leadership Weekend

Canoe Trip Skills

Join us for a leadership weekend where participants will learn hard and soft skills used in running successful canoe trips.

Is your child already missing camp? Campers ages 15 and 16 can join us  from October 31–November 2 for Fall Leadership Weekend! This is a great way for campers to learn how the YMCA Camp Pine Crest staff lead trips.

Participants will be making route cards, prepping gear and food, familiarizing themselves with trip equipment, and learning about on-trip facilitation and, of course, how to cook good trip meals. They will also work on their hard skills like portaging, site set-up, cooking, knots, and shelter building. This leadership weekend is a great way to reconnect with camp and get to experience Pine Crest during our lovely Fall season.

What to Pack

We will provide all canoe tripping equipment but asks that participants bring their own sleeping bags as well as overnight essentials like clothing, toiletries, and personal items. Participants are encouraged to bring their own canoe tripping equipment if they wish.

Accomodations

The week includes 3 meals/day & snacks, accommodation in our lodges for the first night, and counselor-led programming and supervision throughout the days and nights. Images and more information about accommodations can be found on the Facilities page.
