Day Camp
Description
Science is an inquiry based, experiential program that promotes discovery and curiosity. Campers will develop an understanding and appreciation of science through participation in experiments and projects related to movement, construction and chemical reactions. To complement this program campers will participate in a variety of traditional camp activities.

Y Day Camp utilizes Westcreek Public School to deliver a variety of programs. This location has access to a gymnasium, several classrooms and outdoor green space. Campers will swim off site at a nearby community pool. Camp operates 9:00am – 4:00pm. Bussing is available for $75/week round trip.

Government Child Care Subsidy
If you currently attend YMCA Child Care and receive Government Child Care Subsidy, please continue to register online. Your account will be adjusted to reflect this at billing. Continuing to register will secure your child’s space until the YMCA receives confirmation from your local municipality.
Children who receive Government Child Care Subsidy and are interested in attending day camp programming may register for any day camp program that does not include an overnight component. We encourage families to select a different program each week when registering for multiple weeks.
NOTE: Families using City of Toronto child care subsidy must start and end their day (AM and PM) at a licensed Extended Hours program for the weeks they are registered for camp.
Review our Subsidy Guidelines to learn more.
The YMCA reserves the right to amend your child’s registration to the approved municipal rate. If we are unable to receive confirmation of your assisted rate, your child’s registration will be adjusted to be charged the full program fee.
If your child does not currently attend a YMCA Child Care Program, but does receive Government Child Care Subsidy, you can contact us at 1-877-303-2267 or register@ymcagta.org. Registration must be received four (4) weeks prior to the requested program/session start date. Review our Subsidy Guidelines to learn more.
