Part of Quebec YMCA fonds

The series documents the development and administration of programs at the Quebec YMCA mostly between the 1940s and 1970s. There are two main programs documented: Camp Naskapi, a summer camp at Lac des Chicots operated by the Quebec YMCA from 1943 to 1978; and the Management Development Course, a course organized by the National Council of YMCAs of Canada in partnership with an affiliated association, the Canadian Council of Foreman's Clubs (later known as the Industrial Management Clubs of Canada). The course was taught at Université de Laval à Québec, Western University in London, Ontario, and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver in 1962, and possibly other years as well.

Records include camp committee reports and meeting minutes for Camp Naskapi, camp budgets and figures, camp brochures, forms and guidelines, and correspondence and legal documents relating to the Quebec YMCA's use of Lac des Chicots. Records also include the files of M. Jos. E Huot, who was chairman of the Management Development Course in 1962, and include correspondence, reports and minutes. There are also files related to le Club des contremaîtres du Québec and the Canadian Council of Foreman's Clubs, which were both affiliated to the YMCA. These files include meeting minutes and agendas, financial reports, correspondence, and some promotional materials, forms, pamphlets and newspaper clippings.
