Because AFTER SCHOOL TIME doesn't have to mean ALONE TIME
YMCA Kid's Club is a place for children in Grades 1 through 6 to build friendships, learn, gain leadership skills and have fun after the school bell has rung.
The program is a unique partnership between your elementary school, YMCA Calgary and our participating families.
YMCA Kid's Club furthers each child's personal development through:
- strengthening values and fostering personal growth
- building a sense of responsibility within the community
- encouraging and teaching respect for our environment
- developing an understanding of global issues
