YMCA Christchurch Holiday Programme

How It Works
When choosing a programme or camp, we have lots of options! You can choose one of our age-specific holiday programmes which are designed with age-appropriate activities, or choose from a range of full-week specialised programmes for children aged 9-15 years. Within our residential camp programmes young people are also grouped in specific age brackets, so activities can be tailored for their needs and abilities.

How To Enrol
Online enrolments open approximately 5 weeks prior to the start of holidays.

*Please note, enrolments close the Thursday prior to the start of each week. Late enrolments may incur a $15 late booking fee.

**If you are enroling a child who is not a NZ resident or citizen but in NZ on a student or visitor visa, the cost of the programme will be 45% more than the advertised price. Parents of international students should be aware that if their child knows little English they may find participating on these programmes difficult.

Payment
Payment for enrolments is made via credit card online, or discuss with the Children’s Services Supervisor about making direct bank payments.

Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) Subsidies are available for our all of our programmes and Y Camp, so please enquire with your local WINZ office to learn more about if you qualify. You can also read more about the subsidy application process on the WINZ Website.
