Description

March Break Variety Camps will provide a safe, active and fun environment for campers ages 6-12. Activities will include arts, crafts, sports & games, which will vary based on the location and the facilities available. Registration is by week.

Location

The McDonald Family YMCA Centre of Community is a dynamic community hub in the heart of downtown Toronto. We offer programs for adults, teens, children and families of all ages and abilities including fitness, aquatics, camping, youth leadership, recreational sports, children's programs, and more.

YMCA Financial Assistance

If you require Financial Assistance, please complete this form with proof of income. We recommend you continue to register for the program(s) of your choice. This is to hold your spot(s) until assistance approval is received. Spots and assistance are not guaranteed, and YMCA assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

To register in advance of assistance approval, a credit card will be required for a deposit payment. You will receive a full refund if assistance is not approved, and you choose not to attend the program.

If you require support to complete your online registration, please call 1-877-303-2677.

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 Fee Subsidy, and have an active registration in a YMCA Child Care or YMCA Before and After School program in the City of Toronto, will automatically be registered into a licensed YMCA Summer Club program. 

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.
