Kids don’t want to waste their holidays doing boring stuff – and we totally understand! School holiday programmes at The Y (formerly known as YMCA) Hamilton offer a new adventure every day with a range of inclusive and stimulating activities.
With the same well-run activities and experienced staff as our term care, our holiday programmes move the focus to fun and reconnection after your children's busy terms giving kids a great range of activities they'll love during their holidays.
We offer programmes for 11 - 15 years olds in addition to our school-aged sessions for 5-11 year olds.
Your local holiday programme is waiting for you just around the corner!
