At the Y, we value equitable and accessible recreation for all. With all our programs, you can feel supported in creating healthy habits, as we look after your little ones! We offer programs for children and youth ages 0-12 years old!

Child and Teen Access and Participation Policy

CHILDMINDING

Y childminding programs require a parent/guardian remain in the building at all times. Both the child and parent/guardian must be Y members. No reservation required – first come first serve. Child members are able to participate up to 90 minutes once per day.

Playcare 0-5 YEARS and Kids Club 6-9 years

We believe that exercising is a part of healthy living; however it can be hard to find time to stay fit when caring for young children. Our childminding services support you while you participate in a group fitness class or engage in your own individual workout or swim program. Playcare ages 0-5. Kids Club ages 6-9.

CHILDREN’S RECREATION PROGRAMS

Y children’s recreation programs do not require a parent/guardian to remain in the building. Children must have an active Y membership to participate. Adults are required to sign child(ren) in and out of programs. Children must be toilet trained. Programs unless otherwise stated are drop in on a first come first serve basis.
