YMCA Day Camp programs are offered for children ages 5–14, depending on the camp type and location. Children must meet the age requirement by the first day of camp and be registered in the appropriate age group.

Within camps, children are grouped with peers of similar ages to support developmentally appropriate activities and strong peer relationships.

YMCA Kinder Care, offered at YMCA Child Care Centres across Niagara, is available for children ages 3–6.
