Big Cove YMCA Camp programs are designed to help youth grow as individuals while promoting cooperation with others in a safe, supportive community. The YMCA philosophy of spirit, mind and body helps guide our programs to enhance self-awareness, confidence, trust and responsibility. We provide a wide variety of exciting programs to ensure there is something for everyone. The counsellors, working with their campers and our senior staff design weekly schedules with a balance of cabin group activities and all camp programs. Every morning we offer a variety of activities that allow campers the opportunity to develop skills in areas of their own choosing, whether it is canoeing, earth education or archery. From the moment the wake up bell rings at 7:30 a.m. to the time the lights go out, the day is filled with exciting experiences that will last a lifetime.
