YMCA Camps Belwood, Ki-Wa-Y, & Waabanaki former Camp Staff

This site is for camp staff alumni who have worked at Camps Belwood, Ki-Wa-Y and Wabanaki and would like to reconnect with camp and their camp friends. We hope you find a few things, people or events on this site which will make you smile and chuckle at a memory and keep you revisiting time and time again.

It’s been 20 YEARS?! 😳

A little photo dump from Camp Waabanaki, circa 2005/2006, because apparently that was two decades ago.

Recognize anyone? 👀 Tag them. Tag yourself.
Share the memories. 📸

Alumni Day at Camp Belwood is TODAY from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m.!

The sun is shining, the lake is sparkling, and camp is ready to welcome you back.

Come explore the many updates and improvements made since your last visit, paddle across Belwood Lake by sailboat or kayak, hike to Ant Hill, challenge yourself on our brand-new climbing wall, and gather around the campfire for songs, stories, and s'mores.

See you by the lake. ❤️

☀️ Flashback Friday ☀️

Friends from the summers of 2004 and 2005 at YMCA Camps Ki-Wa-Y, Belwood, and Waabanaki… recognize anyone? 👀

05/01/2026

It is with profound sadness that we share news of the sudden passing of Jaydon Attridge, a long-time leader at Camp Waabanaki and most recently Manager of Camp Waabanaki and Camp Belwood.

Jaydon was a deeply respected leader at camp and a beloved member of Waabanaki Community. His connection to camp spanned many years, beginning as a camper in 2006, LIT in 2010, CIT in 2011, and a counsellor in 2012, growing into an outstanding camp director who shaped experiences for countless young people.

Described often as thoughtful and creative, Jaydon will forever be remembered for his Crocs, his infectious laugh, and always sporting a camp shirt. He was always fixing, building, planning, and dreaming big, bringing extraordinary camp experiences to life for others. At the same time, he had a special way of making every camper feel seen, supported, and like they truly belonged.

There are no perfect words for this. He was a huge part of Waabanaki. For many campers, he was someone they looked up to, learned from, and shared some of their best camp moments with.

We are holding Jaydon’s family, friends, and the camp community close as we process this loss together. Our priority is supporting those who knew and cared about him. This past weekend, Jaydon’s family and friends shared a memorial here:
http://www.jaydonattridgememorial.ca/

We are humbled and honoured that Jaydon's family have chosen to direct donations to support Camp Waabanaki.

We encourage anyone who needs support to lean on their people, and to reach out to professional supports if needed. If you would like to connect with someone from our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

As we move forward, our team remains committed continuing the work Jaydon cared so deeply about: creating safe, welcoming, and meaningful camp experiences for every camper.
