The YMCA offers children and young people fun and educational activities to keep them happy and active during every school holiday of the year. We run programmes in Upper Hutt, the Wairarapa, Porirua, Wellington City and Holiday Camps at Camp Kaitoke.
The YMCA is a values based organisation. Our values are Honesty, Responsibility, Respect and Caring. These values drive our programme content, how we manage behaviour, our commitment to sustainability, and the way we interact with participants, their whanau, our volunteers and staff.

OSCAR Subsidy Approved
We have Government Approval to run OSCAR programmes – which means two things for you and your children:
1. We have been audited by an external body to ensure that our staffs are all appropriately qualified, trained and supervised. Our programmes are managed well to minimise unnecessary risk and the content and quality of the programmes is appropriate for the age and development of the children/youth involved.
2. You are able to access a subsidy towards the fees from Work and Income NZ (if you are eligible under the ‘Working for Families’ Scheme). http://www.workingforfamilies.govt.nz/

Our Promise to Parents & Caregivers
We have been running successful, safe and high quality holiday programmes for children aged 5 years to 15 years for over 100 years.
Here at the YMCA, we believe in providing children and young people with challenging and enriching environments, helping them learn new skills, have fun, and make new friends. We also love getting out and exploring the world around us, engaging and connecting children and young people with the world they live in.
