At the Y we believe camping is for everyone. That's why our two Outdoor Centres are accessible and are designed to meet the needs and interests of all skill levels. All individuals, families, and groups are welcome.

The YMCA of Greater Toronto has two outdoor centres that are the perfect place for children, youth and adults to grow in confidence and learn new skills. We welcome outdoor education seekers, field trip enthusiasts, retreat and conference groups, overnight accommodations, meeting facility rentals and a variety of outdoor experiential programs.
