Experiences that last a lifetime

We are an outdoor centre providing a platform for all to enjoy nature
And connect with each others. We designed to have minimal concrete facilities in camp to basic experience.

Spend a day in the outdoor to discover nature and discover yourself. From exciting water activities to star gazing on a quiet night, there are something for everyone to experience in camp.
Live simply, appreciate abundantly.



Building Strong Kids
All kids seek the adventure through their curiosity, willingness to learn, and putting their knowledge into action. The YMCA Lamma Island Outdoor Centre gives campers the opportunity to make their own decisions and practice these in hands-on experiences.

We provide a structured environment for kids to play outdoors, learn skills of kayaking and archery, learn to build a fire on a cookout, and live in a new community away from home. Managing their daily choices in the safe, caring environment of camp, kids welcome this as a freedom to blossom in new directions.

YMCA camp leaders encourage campers to stay on the Leadership Path – between the YMCA Core Values (Honesty, Respect, Caring, and Responsibility) and Boundaries of Camp Rules and Safety. Once children understand the breadth of their decision-making, the Leadership Path can lead them into new territory of building self-esteem, developing friendships and understanding how to contribute to their communities and society.
