POWER UP Youth Program

 Power Up is a YMCA Initiative for youth ages 12-15.

Power Up is a ten-week program that runs throughout the year (Fall, Winter & Spring cohorts). Power Up will expose participants to new games, challenges and ways of moving through life as a confident leader and engaged community members.

From disc golf and trail running, to STEM workshops, and challenging communication and leadership initiatives, Power Up will highlight our individual strengths and differences and encourage participants to embrace their unique attributes and learn from other’s.

Included with Power Up is a complimentary 4-month YMCA membership for active participants.

Memberships include access to our fitness centre, pool, gym and one registered program per session; additional program fees may apply.

This program is free of cost but requires registration. We are now accepting applications for the Fall session.

NOTE: Form completion does not guarantee a spot in the program. Priority spacing will be given to participants who have not yet participated in Power Up during 2024/2025. A waiting list will be made and all participant communication to confirm registration will occur no later than September 8. Fall Power Up will begin Thursday, September 11 at 6:30pm.
