At Camp Arbutus Hayo-Went-Ha, young women and girls will experience adventure and fun in beautiful surroundings while developing lifelong friendships and memories.

Campers will enjoy the great variety of activities that we offer daily. The morning schedule allows campers to work together on many of the offered activities as a cabin unit. The time is also used to teach all campers about the camping equipment, including usage and safety before their trips. The campers also become oriented with maps and practice for their adventrure. Through this, a camper will develop an understanding of the individual responsibility each person has to the group.

The afternoon allows each camper to individually select any one of the following activities: sailing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, arts and crafts, archery, nature studies, soccer, ultimate frisbee, dodge ball, tennis, basketball, newspaper, drama and dance. We emphasize Judeo-Christian values in our daily living and follow the four core values of the YMCA of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility in all that we do.
