The last thing any child wants to do is to waste their holidays doing something boring!
That’s why our YMCA at the Ellerslie Recreation Centre holiday programme 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.
It’s important to us that each child has fun in a safe environment, where they can learn new skills, make new friends and do stuff that they wouldn’t normally get to do. Our friendly, welcoming staff are all highly trained, and completely dedicated to helping your kids have an amazing, safe time.
We also cater to parents who require before and after care. Before care begins at 7.00am, the holiday programme begins at 9.00am and after care runs from 3pm-6pm.
Please note that drop off must be between 7am-9am and pick up from 3pm-6pm.
Available to approved families. For more information on WINZ or to see if you qualify click here. Please note: WINZ bookings cannot be booked online, please contact the YMCA Mt Ellerslie team on 09 579 4716.
We understand that it’s hard for parents to leave their kids in other people’s care, that’s why we take safety very seriously. YMCA Holiday Programmes are proudly approved and audited by Child Youth and Family (CYF).
All YMCA Holiday Programme Staff undergo police checks, inducted and receive on-going training which include Child Protection, Behaviour Management and Health & Safety.
At YMCA we believe that cost should never be a barrier for individuals and families accessing services in their community. YMCA provides fee assistance on an application basis to ensure that services are available to everyone.
Spaces are limited and can fill up quickly. Make sure your kids don't miss out on their next school holiday adventure.
