Reviews & Insider Perspectives

The Our Kids review of YMCA of Oakville

The YMCA is perhaps the most integrated institution that you could ever hope to find, and in that is one the greatest strengths of the programs they offer. Kids spend each day engaged actively with others, something that begins with the bus ride there. It’s fun, of course, but it’s fun you can take seriously, and the values that underwrite the programming are rightly a primary draw. The expert admin and program development that the Y is known for is in ample evidence throughout the Oakville offering, and great use is made of the wealth and diversity of facilities available.

Director's Message

At the YMCA, we believe that camp is a place where magic happens. Camp is a place where each child’s unique talents, personality and perspective is welcomed and celebrated. It’s a place where all campers and counsellors can feel comfortable to be themselves, and have the opportunity to discover how their individuality can impact the world.

Camp is a place to laugh, play and develop life-long friendships. At the YMCA, we believe in helping all children and youth reach their full potential. YMCA campers have the opportunity to develop life skills and try new things, as they deepen their connection with the world around them. They will be challenged to take risks, be goofy, and step out of their comfort zones to accomplish the seemingly “impossible”. All of our camp programs, be it sports or horseback riding, focus on creating positive relationships and healthy communities. Our campers will learn to be leaders, learn how to be part of a team, and
learn to value their individuality.

Join us for a summer that your camper will remember forever!
