Outdoor Education

YMCA Camp Elphinstone offers a wide range of quality environmental and outdoor education programs to enhance classroom study. All of our programs are designed to meet BC curriculum needs, accommodate different grade levels and act as a springboard for understanding and action.

Our Goals

·  To extend the classroom into the outdoors with activities that complement the curriculum
·  To foster discovery and lifelong learning.
·  To provide an atmosphere for students to experience greater confidence, competence, and respect for the environment.
·  To encourage the development of cooperation and leadership through personal achievement, self-expression and team-building.
·  To incorporate the YMCA values of honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility in each program.

Schools are encouraged to book a site tour, and/or pre-trip slideshow presentation. Working together with teachers and school administrators, the YMCA will provide a high quality program designed to meet your group’s needs.

YMCA Camp Elphinstone is available for rentals September to June. 144 acres of oceanfront property provides visitors with unique opportunities to explore new ideas, new environments, and new people.
