Looking to get away this summer and explore the great outdoors with your family? Look no further!
In partnership with Parks Canada, the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka is excited to offer a 5-day Family Camp program at the Parks Canada Cedar Springs Campsite on Beausoleil Island (the same island our beloved YMCA Camp Kitchikewana resides on!).
This program is tailored for families looking to share an experience in nature and explore the beauty of Georgian Bay Islands National Park. Families that stay at Cedar Springs have the opportunity to take part in programs for the whole family run by YMCA Camp Kitchikewana during your stay. Cedar Springs Campers will have access to the campground amenities and be given the opportunity to spend a day at Camp Kitchikewana!
Registration opens in February 2025!
