Y Dance
Does your up-and-coming performer love to dance? Have them join us for a session full of music, movement, and fun! Whether they're singing and dancing along to a ‘Bear Hunt’-ing adventure, practicing gross/fine motor skills with ‘The Itsy-Bitsy-Spider,’ or trying to keep afloat while the ‘Floor is Lava’, your little will learn the fundamentals of movement while dancing and grooving to the beat of songs!
Currently only offered at the Kelowna Family Y.
Y Soccer
Does your little one love to run and kick a ball around? Join us for lots of high-intensity, energy-burning fun through age-appropriate drills and games. Our coaches will focus on the development of physical, cognitive, and social skills. Learn the basics of kicking and controlling the ball in an indoor, noncompetitive, play-based environment. At the end of each class, children will be able to play mini matches with their friends!

NHL STREET
The Y has partnered with the NHL to bring its ball hockey program to our community. NHL STREET is designed to make the sport of hockey accessible so everyone can learn and play. The participants feel like the pros when they suit up in authentic NHL STREET uniforms to play in high-energy, scrimmage style games.

Y Basketball
No matter their skill level, every child is welcome to join us to develop their understanding of basketball through basic structured dribbling, passing and shooting drills. Kids will learn and practice the basics of power-control relationships, ball-handling techniques and teamwork. At the end of each class, children will be able to play half-court and full-court matches with their friends!

If your kids love to express themselves through dancing, this is the program for them! Our goal is to build self-esteem and confidence through a combination of musical games and dances that refine and enhance balance, coordination, and footwork.

Your night. Your way.
On select Friday Nights throughout the year, youth can enjoy the Kelowna Family YMCA however they want—for free! Our gymnasium, conditioning rooms, pools, chill zones and more are open for youth to get active, spend time together and get involved in their community.
What to expect: At YMCA Youth Nights, you can explore all your options. Play sports, go for a swim, play video games, work out in the weight room, grab a bite to eat, practice your artistic side, or just hang out with your friends.
Swim Lessons
Vital water safety skills save lives, but there's more to YMCA swim lessons than just learning to swim. Children in our programs build self-confidence as they achieve their goals with a little hard work and support from others.
Child Minding (Ages 0–12)
Enjoy a facility workout or swim while your children are cared for by qualified staff and volunteers in a safe and fun environment. Child Minding provides supervised play with age-appropriate toys, arts and crafts, and special care for babies.
Family Play Time
Explore, create, imagine, and play in a variety of activities for you and your child. Meet other families through group activities in a comfortable play environment and learn about services in your community.
Financial Assistance
As a charity, the Y believes no family should be turned away because of financial circumstances. Thanks to generous donors, the Y is able to provide financial assistance to families who could not otherwise afford the full cost of Y programs and memberships.
Employment Services
Our free employment services support youth and young adults with employment skills, certifications, networking, career exploration and self-discovery.
