March Break Camp - Male Cabin – Y Camp Pine Crest

Get ready for an incredible week of outdoor education, adventure, and winter fun at YMCA Camp Pine Crest! March Break Overnight Camp is open to youth ages 9 to 13 and takes place from March 15 to 19, 2027. Participants will spend the week exploring our beautiful 650 acre property in the heart of Muskoka, playing outdoors, challenging themselves, and making new friends. Activities are weather dependent and may include snowshoeing, cross country skiing, high ropes, arts and crafts, snow tubing, maple sugaring, and so much more. Cabin groups will rotate through activities together, giving participants the opportunity to experience everything camp has to offer. Participants will also take part in our Skills Program, where they can choose one activity they would like to focus on and develop their skills throughout the week. This gives campers the opportunity to build confidence, challenge themselves, and hone their abilities in an activity they enjoy. The week includes three meals per day and snacks, accommodation in our lodges, and counselor led programming and supervision throughout the day and night. Winter camp is a unique experience that encourages participants to embrace the outdoors and develop a new appreciation for the Canadian winter.
