Child 6-12: Kids need a safe place to grow

Imagine a second home for your kids - a safe place to have fun, be real, grow and meet new friends. Every YMCA program is child-centered, developing your child's imagination, encouraging learning and promoting life skills and values.

 

Licensed School Age Care

These middle childhood years are an important time in your child's life. Our before and after school programs provide trained staff that act as positive role models, while providing fun lessons and activities your kids will love. After all, who we become begins today.

Swim Programs

Let's make a splash! We help kids jump in, have fun, learn to swim and grow in confidence. Our programs—from bobbers to stars—give your kids the skills needed for a lifetime of fun in the water.

Pre-teen Fitness

Not quite a teenager? Eleven and twelve year olds can workout with their parents on our cardio equipment.

We encourage both parent and child (ages 11 & 12) to participate in our “family orientation” which will familiarize participants with the cardio machines that are permitted for pre-teen use, as well as our healthy heart functional/stretch area.


Daycamps

Swim like a fish, hunt like a scavenger and try all sorts of sports. Do all these things and more at YMCA Day Camps. Both spring and summer day camps are available. Register online at myymca.ca.
