Description
Nature Explorers Day Camp (ages 9-12) is a NEW program to YMCA Camp Pine Crest this summer. Our Nature Explorer program focuses on learning about environmental conservation and allowing campers to explore the varying ecosystems, habitats, plants, and wildlife that we have here at Camp Pine Crest.
Campers will take part in activities like nature hikes, canoeing, outdoor living skills, swimming, environmentally friendly crafts such as bird feeders and bird houses etc. A great opportunity for campers 9-12 to experience the beauty, learning and fun Pine Crest has to offer.

Government Child Care Subsidy
If you currently attend YMCA Child Care and receive Government Child Care Subsidy, please continue to register online. Your account will be adjusted to reflect this at billing. Continuing to register will secure your child’s space until the YMCA receives confirmation from your local municipality.
Children who receive Government Child Care Subsidy and are interested in attending day camp programming may register for any day camp program that does not include an overnight component. We encourage families to select a different program each week when registering for multiple weeks.
NOTE: Families using City of Toronto Child Care Fee Subsidy, and have an active registration in a YMCA Child Care or YMCA Before and After School program in the City of Toronto, will automatically be registered into a licensed YMCA Summer Club program.
Review our Subsidy Guidelines to learn more.
The YMCA reserves the right to amend your child’s registration to the approved municipal rate. If we are unable to receive confirmation of your assisted rate, your child’s registration will be adjusted to be charged the full program fee.
If your child does not currently attend a YMCA Child Care Program, but does receive Government Child Care Subsidy, you can contact us at 1-877-303-2267 or register@ymcagta.org.
