<strong>YMCA</strong> Camp Korah<br />
10 ‐ 14 Year Old <strong>Camps</strong><br />
SENIOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURE<br />
Lots of fun awaits you in the great outdoors at Camp<br />
Korah. Our Outdoor Adventure <strong>Camps</strong> promote<br />
physical fitness, outdoor exploration, healthy<br />
challenges and more. Campers will hike along the<br />
Voyageur Trail, practice camping skills, enjoy<br />
canoeing and kayaking, play sports and games, go<br />
orienteering, create a nature craft and maybe even<br />
observe birds and beavers in their natural habitat.<br />
Y ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CAMP<br />
Say YES to Science! Campers will try hands<br />
on environmental science experiments<br />
and activities that make learning about<br />
science fun! Qualified camp staff will lead unique<br />
theme weeks. Outdoor activities will assist in<br />
gaining an appreciation for the natural world and<br />
may include challenging hikes, exploring the<br />
waterfront, fire building and maybe catching the<br />
occasional frog.<br />
Y SURVIVOR CAMP<br />
Campers will learn what it takes to survive<br />
in the wild. Working together with fellow<br />
campers and leaders, they will learn how to build<br />
natural shelters, make a fire without matches,<br />
discover what wild plants are edible, track animals,<br />
cook on a campfire, how to find or make water safe<br />
and more! Campers will play the “Survivor” game to<br />
test their tracking skills! This challenging camp will<br />
help the older camper gain self‐esteem, work<br />
cooperatively and make new friends, as they gain<br />
confidence in being in the natural world.<br />
BIKE & HIKE CAMP<br />
This popular camp finds a new home at Camp Korah<br />
this summer. Trail and off road rules and riding skills<br />
will be featured, while instruction on in‐traffic bike<br />
riding will be taught on the quieter roads around<br />
Camp Korah and the upper Goulais Avenue areas.<br />
Campers will also spend time hiking and exploring<br />
the beautiful <strong>Sault</strong>eaux Voyageur Trail around Camp<br />
Korah. This camp is perfect for those who want to<br />
explore and exercise at the same time. Campers<br />
need an appropriate‐sized, safe, 2‐wheeled bike and<br />
approved bike helmet. Bikes will be transported<br />
from the <strong>YMCA</strong> on the first day of camp and<br />
returned to the <strong>YMCA</strong> on the last day. Bikes will be<br />
locked inside a portable at Camp Korah for the entire<br />
week. Arrangements may be made to drop off and<br />
pick up bikes each day at Camp Korah.<br />
