Big Cove YMCA Camp
"An Experience That Lasts A Lifetime"
Big Cove YMCA Camp Outdoor Centre
In addition to operating a residential camp in the summer months, Big Cove YMCA Camp also operates an Outdoor Centre in the spring and fall. We offer residential and day programs for schools and community organizations that foster confidence, teamwork, skill building and environmental awareness. Big Cove's Outdoor Centre offers a beautiful natural environment, which is perfectly suited to quality outdoor learning experiences.
Big Cove YMCA Camp has a well-established program, offering
a variety of activities to choose from
Group Building and Personal Challenge Sessions:
Our Group Building and Personal Challenge activities include Team Initiatives,
Trust Activities, Low Ropes, Bouldering Wall, High Ropes and Zip Line.
These activities provide participants with a greater self-awareness,
sense of trust and accomplishment, and help to build stronger teams.
Environmental Learning and Interpretation Sessions:
These activities help to develop a greater understanding and appreciation
of the natural world in a unique outdoor setting. Programs include Earthwalks
and a variety of interpretative games and activities.
Outdoor Pursuits Sessions:
These are activities that people living in an urban environment rarely
have the opportunity to do. They provide participants with a chance
to build new skills in a fun and safe environment. Activities include
Canoeing, Archery and Swimming (weather permitting).
Wilderness Travel/Skills Sessions:
Wilderness skills sessions are usually offered in conjunction with an
overnight trip, but can be run on their own. They include instruction
in fire building, orienteering, low impact camping and shelter building.
