At Y Neighbourhood Day Camps, children and youth aged 4Y-12Y are active and engaged while taking part in a wide range of traditional or specialty day camp activities.

Campers have the opportunity to learn new skills and have fun in local outdoor spaces, gymnasiums, swimming pools and activity rooms, as well as enjoy themed weeks and out trips. Y Neighbourhood Day Camps are a great way to spend summer days having fun and creating friendships!

Our experienced staff provide campers with the support, attention, and care they need while away from home. All staff are trained in first aid and CPR and lifeguards are nationally certified. All staff must submit a police background check and complete an extensive training program before starting their position.
