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. The Outdoor Centre was also rentable to non-YWCA outdoor groups from September to June. The YaWaCa Outdoor Centre closed in 1983 due to financial constraints.
Subseries documents Camp YaWaCa and the development and management of the YaWaCa Outdoor Centre.
Records consist of reports, meeting minutes, promotional materials, photographs, and other records arising from running Camp YaWaCa and the YaWaCa Outdoor Centre.

World YWCA and international YWCAs
Part of YWCA Metro Vancouver fonds
YWCA Metro Vancouver and YWCA of Canada both maintain a relationship with the World YWCA located in Geneva, Switzerland, as well as with local associations globally. This is accomplished via: participation in World Councils held every four years; YWCA Metro Vancouver’s receipt of newsletters, reports, and other publications by both the World YWCA and by national or local YWCA associations; and communications between YWCA Metro Vancouver and local YWCAs from outside of Canada. From 1969 to 1986, YWCA Metro Vancouver also engaged with the World YWCA via the Y’s Owl Shop, a craft group of YWCA Metro Vancouver that raised funds for the World YWCA.
Records consist of annual reports, Council reports, occasional reports, publications, newsletters, correspondence, and other materials arising from YWCA Metro Vancouver’s and the YWCA of Canada’s interactions with the World YWCA and with national and local YWCAs outside of Canada. Material arising from interactions between the World YWCA and YMCAs is also kept in this subseries.
