Facilities
YLCC is proud to present many updates on its second leadership training centre! YLCC began using the Pigeon Lake YLCC Leadership Training Centre in the winter of 2009. YLCC has hosted several retreats at the Pigeon Lake Centre during the spring, summer, and fall season. Previously the facility was a fishing camp and family resort and has been transformed into a Leadership Training Centre with all of the usual YLCC touch. Located approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes East of Toronto, we excited to host overnight groups of up to 140 people and day groups of up to 200. Check out our facility and activity pictures that have recently been updated!

Dining Hall
Our dining facility can hold 120 people. Enjoy the beautiful view of Pigeon Lake from your seat in the dining hall. We usually server our meals family style to encourage community and conversation. New for 2010, the exterior of the dining hall has been painted and we installed a brand new hard wood floor inside!
Our kitchen staff are exceptional; they are dedicated to serving healthy meals that comply with the Canada Food Guide to Healthy Eating. There are always vegetarian options and we can accommodate many other special dietary needs (ie. Allergies, kosher-style, vegan, theme nights, etc.)
After a full day of running around you won’t go to bed hungry, because we always serve an amazing evening snack!
