YWCA Metro Vancouver began its residential camping activities in 1913 with the YWCA Girls Camp at Copper Cove, near Horseshoe Bay. After selling its Copper Cove site in 1936, the YWCA rented campsites on Galiano Island for several years, then at various leased campsites around British Columbia. The first YaWaCa camp program was offered in 1962 at Camp Potlatch, Howe Sound. Camp YaWaCa was run at rented facilities until 1971, at which point it became clear that finding a suitable rental space long-term would be infeasible. YWCA Metro Vancouver began site planning and development of the YaWaCa Outdoor Centre in 1971. Opened in 1972, the YaWaCa Outdoor Centre hosted Camp YaWaCa over the summer for girls along with other YWCA programs, including a counsellor-in-training program, a pregnant teenagers’ retreat, a camp for single mothers and their children, and a recreational program for adults with intellectual disabilities.
