Cedar Glen - YMCA of Greater Toronto

OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Nature has much to teach us
about living life successfully…
and the Outdoor Education Program at
YMCA Cedar Glen offers a terrific classroom.
This is the second year I have
had a group at your outdoor
education facility and I found
your staff made every activity
enjoyable. I appreciate how
accommodating they were and
how they made our youth and
youth staff feel comfortable in
their abilities.

YMCA Cedar Glen’s natural diversity
provides an optimum classroom for
an outdoor education experience.
We bring your curriculum to life
by combining fun and adventure
to create unique outdoor learning
experiences linked to the Ontario
Ministry of Education Curriculum.
We offer a variety of safe, exciting,
and curriculum-based programming
for all ages. Our facilitators are
qualified Ontario school teachers
and graduates of recreation or
outdoor education diplomas and
degree programs. Facilitators are
able to customize your program
to meet the needs or abilities of
any class.
With a focus on interactive,
hands-on activities where all
group members participate,
your students will experience
a “living” laboratory where
classroom lessons come alive.
You can combine multiple programs
and activities to create a tailored
outdoor learning adventure for
your group. By observing your
students interacting outside the
classroom, you’ll gain insight
into their thought processes,
behaviours, and abilities.
Your group will be inspired, both
mentally and physically, by their
experiences at YMCA Cedar Glen.
