YMCA Kids Club

A new after-school program offering recreation, leadership and fun!

What children do in the hours after school is critical to their successful development. The YMCA Kids' Club program offers children, Grades 1 through 6, the opportunity to build positive relationships while taking part in after-school recreation and leadership activities in a fun, safe and supportive environment. Four sessions will be offered during the school year with programs operating on regular school days from the afternoon bell until 5:30pm. Each session will have a unique focus and activities may include active games, sports, fine arts, teamwork, global awareness, YMCA's Youth Fit for Life program and interest-specific clubs.
