Camp Yowochas
Outdoor Education Centre
Camp Yowochas is YWCA Edmonton’s highly-regarded outdoor education centre and summer camp.
Located on the beautiful shores of Wabamun Lake, Camp Yowochas has offered thousands of children, youth, and adults exceptional team-building, leadership development, and environmental education for more than 100 years.
The difference Camp Yowochas makes
At Camp Yowochas, we invest in the learning, leadership, and resilience of our future leaders. Our programs are fun, educational, and promote respect for self, others, and the environment.
“I wouldn’t be the leader I am today — at camp and in my own life — without the care and guidance of Camp Yowochas, year after year.”
— Hanna Haugen (a.k.a. Valley) | Camp Yowochas Counsellor
