holiday Camps

Y Weekly camps are the perfect place for kids to be kids! Campers will enjoy many fun activities with plenty of choices each day including games, sports, arts and crafts, swimming, filed trips and the great outdoors. At YMCA BC, we are proud to provide safe, fun and high quality programs that encourage children to develop in spirit, mind and body. Parents & guardians can be sure their children are in safe, capable hands when they are with Y staff and volunteers at our day camps. Upon registration you will receive an activity schedule for each session.

CAMP STAFF & VOLUNTEERS - Camp staff are selected for their experience and skill with children. All of our staff have certification in first aid and CPR, and receive training in leadership, safety and emergency procedures. All Y staff and volunteers go through a security clearance prior to the start of camp.
