After-School Program

Grades 2 to 6

"Thank you everyone for making YouthNet what it is now"
- Kristopher, age 10

Children are welcomed to YouthNet after-school every school day throughout the year. There they find a warm welcome, friendship, a place to feel safe, snacks and exciting programs to build their knowledge and creativity. Our regular activities include art, music, cooking, dance, sports and science. We strive to provide our participants with activities that challenge them to try things outside of their comfort zone.

Teen Program

Grades 7 to 10
YouthNet's teen program runs every Tuesday and Thursday. These afternoons consist of creative activities, workshops, group discussions, field trips and guest speakers. The day ends with a meal that the youth and leaders cook together. In the summer a canoe trip is offered for the teens at Kejimkujik.

Junior Leaders
A number of our participants in the teen program help out during the after-school program as junior leaders. These youth are role models to the younger children and help lead activities.

       Summer Camp

YouthNet summers consist of a mix of themed day camps and overnight wilderness camping trips. Day camps include art, writing, science and music and theatre. YouthNet organizes a week-long day hiking trip and a 5 day canoe trip every year for youths ages 12 to 17. YouthNet summers are filled with fun and excitement and our youth look forward to the camps all year round.
