Alumni Events
Our next alumni gathering is our Alumni Picnic & BBQ taking place July 20 at Stanley Park in Vancouver from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.!
This time of year typically brings warm and dry weather—perfect for a picnic by the water! Alumni are invited to bring their families, lawn chairs, swimsuits and non-alcoholic drinks. The YMCA will set up a shared BBQ station with plates, utensils, condiments and everything you need to enjoy a meal outdoors.

Join us for our Alumni Day at Camp Elphinstone on Saturday, Aug. 9!
Bring your family, revisit places from summers past and see what's changed at Camp Elphinstone since your last visit. No campers will be on site this day, so our alums will be welcome to enjoy lunch prepared by our Food Services team, meet with camp leadership and hear about future plans for Camp Elphinstone. Past campers and staff from YMCA Camps Deka, Howdy and Kanannaq are welcome to join us, too!
