YMCA Camp Watia

Project Overview

We designed and built a custom aerial adventure park and challenge course for YMCA Camp Watia. Established as a cornerstone of its summer camp experience, this project enhances campers’ outdoor recreation with immersive, active learning and team-building opportunities.

What Camp Watia Offers

Camp Watia delivers a rich, adventure-filled experience where campers “dare, discover, and dream.” Various fun, growth-focused activities complement the course like archery, climbing wall, low ropes, paddleboarding, mountain biking, hiking, and more.

Design Highlights

• Integrated adventure design: The aerial and challenge course blends seamlessly with outdoor recreation, supporting Camp Watia’s focus on courage, confidence, and experiential play.
  
• Multi-use features: The course adds depth to the camp’s range of active programs, from low ropes to climbing and beyond.
  
  

Why This Project Stands Out

• Enhances camp identity: The challenge course aligns with Camp Watia’s mission to help kids explore, take risks, and build friendships outdoors.
  
• Safe and supportive: Designed for youth use with ease-of-access elements, it meets the high safety standards expected in a Christian, values-driven camp environment.
  
• Adds lasting value: The course elevates Camp Watia's summer program offering, empowering campers to grow physically, emotionally, and socially.
