Hands-on outdoor day camp at YMCA Camp Widjiwagan for campers excited to explore and learn about Widji’s natural ecosystems. Campers deepen appreciation for the outdoors, bond with other nature-loving kids, and expand nature knowledge through activities such as crafts with natural materials, building eco-structures in the woods, and completing explorer challenges. Campers also participate in traditional Widji activities including a banana boat ride, zip line, and swim time.Additional Information
