Play allows children and youth of all ages to try new things, test boundaries, learn from their mistakes and enjoy being active. While active play is fun, it's certainly not frivolous. Supporting and encouraging opportunities for safe, free, unstructured play, especially outdoors, may be one of the most promising, accessible and cost-effective solutions to increasing child and youth physical activity in Canada.

YMCA Programs allow young people to excel in their area of interest while connecting them with caring adults who nurture their skills.
