About YMCA Camp Michikamau

Daily life — structured activities and choice week

The camp's program is thoughtfully designed to strike a perfect balance between structured cabin group activities and individual choice pursuits. During the first week, campers follow a fixed schedule that allows them to sample various activity areas within the camp and partake in daily swimming lessons. The second week, aptly named "choice week," empowers campers to select their preferred activity areas.
