Proceeds generated from our film screenings fund outdoor experiences for local youth through our non-profit partner, The YMCA Of Simcoe/Muskoka’s youth leadership program. Our programs expose participants to the positive mental and physical benefits of being active while immersed in the natural world. We believe that these outdoor experiences should be for everyone, which is why we offer them at no cost to participants, removing the financial barriers to participation.
All sessions are 3-4 hours in length and include equipment, transportation and instruction by professional local guides. Each session begins with an introduction to the activity, building skills and confidence in an encouraging and controlled setting. Participants will then be able to apply these new skills for the remainder of the session. Participation focuses on encouraging youth to live healthy, active lifestyles through engaging in these activities in their own backyards.
