Keeping kids active during school breaks
YMCA School Break Programs — on PD Days, March Break, Winter Break, and Summer Break — ignite creativity, connection, and fun for children in YMCA School Age and Child Care programs. Kids stay active with sports, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor games, and hands-on activities.
Learn more by reviewing our School Break Parent Handbook below.

Who Can Register for YMCA Licensed School Break Programs?
While YMCA Licensed PA Day, Winter Break, and March Break programs are reserved for children enrolled in a YMCA School Age Program, our Licensed Summer Programs offer additional opportunities for families.
Current YMCA School Age families receive priority registration for Licensed Summer Programs, after which available spaces are opened to all families in the community.
Please note: In Owen Sound, children ages 4–5 register through the Licensed Summer Program, while children ages 6–12 register for Summer programming through YMCA Summer Day Camps.
