March Break Camps

Make the most of March Break with a full week of camp at the YMCA — packed with sports, crafts, swimming, and everything kids love about camp, right in your community.

Ages: 4-12

North Bay YMCA, Sudbury YMCA

Register

A whole week of camp in the middle of winter.

March Break doesn’t have to mean a week of screen time. YMCA March Break Camp gives kids ages 4–12 a fun, active, and social alternative — with a full schedule of gym games, arts and crafts, swimming, and activities led by experienced camp staff.

It’s the same energy and spirit as summer camp, just with a little more snow outside. Register for individual days or the full week — whatever works best for your family.
