We know the last thing any child wants to do is to waste their holidays doing something boring! That’s why our holiday programme at The Y (formerly known as YMCA) Ellerslie Recreation Centre is jam-packed with activities for kids. One day children could be tackling a rock climbing wall, and the next, they could be jumping into a jet boat.
Christmas Holiday programme at The Y Ellerslie dates: 16 December 2024 - 31 January 2025.
Bookings now open!
Our school holiday programme, for five to 13-year olds gives them the space to wind down after a busy term while keeping them interested and involved through different activities each day. From games and sport to creative self expression, they'll make new friends and stay busy - you'll be picking up happy kids at the end of each day!
You can now register your child via our easy-to-use AIMYme app.
