The YMCA of Greater Vancouver and the YMCA/YWCA of Kamloops have partnered to offer the young people of both communities a rewarding camp experience. Hidden in the Inter Lakes district of the famous Cariboo Plateau, this camp's 95 acres overlook the north arm of beautiful Deka Lake. There are hundreds of lakes to paddle and trails to explore in this vast wilderness of breathtaking vistas, beaver dams, eagle nests, fish runs and deer paths. At Camp Deka, we have been providing YMCA camp experiences for youth since 1990. Our programs ensure a unique personal experience full of adventure.

We believe that the YMCA summer experience is an important building block in creating strong kids, strong families and strong communities. We believe that it is our responsibility to provide role models, resources and opportunities to ensure that children and youth are well cared for in a nurturing environment outside the home. We believe that positive development begins when we are young, and that YMCA summer programs have a role to play in fostering healthy and happy adults. Our residential camps are all BCCA-accredited, and all of our staff are certified in First Aid and CPR. During times near or in the water, campers are also supervised by certified lifeguards and swimming instructors.
