Day Camps 2010 – Ages 2-17 years

The YMCAs of Québec day camps offer fun-filled activities that are both physically and intellectually stimulating. At the Y, we don’t just care for your children; we get them active and provide them with an experience they will not find anywhere else.

The Y has long been known for its child development and youth programs. Our activities are designed with the needs and interests of each age group in mind, and our counsellors are all specially trained.

  • Exceptional sports and recreation facilities
  • Safe environment
  • First-rate counsellors that are friendly and kind
  • Excellent counsellor/camper ratios

Swimming lessons for everyone

Aquatic activities are at the heart of the YMCA day camps’ programming. Children take swimming lessons three or four times a week from certified instructors, and receive a progress report at the end of each week. And because children love the water so much, we also go for the sheer pleasure of splashing and laughing!

Activities to suit everyone's needs

Our day camps offer children a dynamic and enriching environment that allows them to fuel their passions and try new activities!

Whether it is individual or team sports, science-based activities, arts and crafts, drama, music, dance, or cooperative games, there is much to explore at the Y. Often, we invite program specialists to come lend us a hand. Aspiring artists, budding scientists, and sports buffs will all feel right at home.

In all of our camps, at least one day a week is spent on an outing or taking part in a special activity.

Furthermore, certain Y centres offer specialized camps: tennis, counsellor-in-training, or language camp. (Details below).

You want to share in the YMCA experience? Parents welcome!

All Y camps have scheduled times where parents can come and share in the camp experience with their child.

Explorers

(For West Island Y centre, please see Leaders-in-training program below.)
The Explorers form a unique group that benefits from camp programming in the morning. In the afternoon, the participants head off to discover the city as part of our "Destinations for exploration" program. The campers actively participate in the planning of their activities and events.

Leaders-in-training

This program is geared to foster personal growth by having fun, meeting new friends and staying active. Summer outings, interactive workshops, and hands-on experiences encourage the development of self-confidence, leadership qualities and communication skills. Participants will test their knowledge by organizing activities that will interest all campers. Many outings are planned.

Counsellor-in-training

Our counsellor-in-training program prepares teens for the challenges and the rewards of working with children. Participants acquire skills and experience that will help them become the dynamic leaders of tomorrow. Applicants will be interviewed prior to admission.
