Alumni Events

 

About 100 people sitting outside the dining hall at YMCA Camp Elphinstone hold their arms out in the 'Y' shape

When you're part of the YMCA Camp Alumni program, you'll get invites to fun events bringing the alumni community together! Our events are a great way to reconnect with old friends, share past memories with family members, and to be in the know about what's happening with our current and future camp programming.

During the summer of 2025, we have had great turnouts for our Alumni Picnic & BBQ in Stanley Park, and for our Alumni Day that welcomed everyone back for a visit to YMCA Camp Elphinstone!  

We're looking forward to announcing our next YMCA Camp Alumni event soon—make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter for updates!
