A history like no other place in Muskoka. YMCA Pinecrest has been connecting the young and old with nature and teaching outdoor skills for over 115 years on the edge of Clear Lake near Torrance. Clear Lake lives up to its name as one of the clearest lakes in Muskoka as camp traditions continue from the ringing of the dinner bell to learning how to get back in a tipped canoe.
LUNCH: The Camp Chef has offered to provide our group with the option to sit down together for lunch while we are there for the day and eat together. The lunch cost is $19.25 per person. They need to know numbers asap, so please let us know if you are interested in Camp Lunch. signup@balapleinair.ca
