    York Youth Connection

    The York Youth Connection (YYC) summer day camp has been providing a safe, fun and enriching experience for children and youth ages 8 to 14 on York University’s beautiful Keele campus since 1975.

    With a great mix of art, drama, sport and swimming, and EcoScience programming, children spend the summer exploring, learning and making friends. Activities and trips are planned in line with each camp session’s unique theme. The YYC also offers a leadership development program for youth ages 13 and 14, focussed on developing leadership skills and teamwork. Each day, campers spend time participating with the group as a whole, in addition to smaller-group time focussing on developmentally-appropriate activities.

    The camp has a strong community outreach component and strives to be a welcoming and inclusive environment that encourages a lifelong interest in learning among children and youth.

    YYC campers range in age from 8 to 14 (born in or before year 2004) and come from diverse backgrounds. Campers are expected and encouraged to be kind and helpful to one another.
