Welcome Back to YMCA Children & Youth Programs!

Hello Families,

Welcome back to our YMCA Children & Youth Fall Program Schedule! We are excited to kick off another season filled with fun, learning, creativity, physical activity, and opportunities to make new friends.

Did you know that all of our Children and Youth programs are included with your YMCA membership? From STEAM activities and Junior Chefs Club to Active Y, Hip Hop/Jazz, PlayPals, Active Playtime, and more, there's something for every age and interest.

Even better, many of our programs are offered in the evening while our facility is open, allowing parents and guardians to drop off their child and enjoy a workout, swim, or fitness class while their child participates in a safe and engaging YMCA program.

✅ Programs included with membership
✅ Qualified YMCA staff and instructors
✅ Opportunities for children to learn, grow, and stay active
✅ Convenient registration up to 72 hours in advance

Be sure to check out our full Fall Children & Youth Schedule online and secure your child's spot early. Registration is required for all programs, and spaces may be limited.

We look forward to welcoming your family back to the Y this fall!

Y campers and counsellors, we will miss you!
Last week marked the end of another incredible summer camp season at our YMCA.

Over the course of 9 weeks, we welcomed 257 campers, creating opportunities for friendship, growth, adventure, and unforgettable memories. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, 108 children received financial assistance, ensuring they could experience the joy of camp regardless of cost. Total amount subsidized was $36,000 that would not be possible without our community supporting the Gift of Camp Campaign. This was another summer of making friends and memories that the children will never forget.

We'll miss you, and we can't wait to see you again next summer!☀️
