Research by the Search Institute has identified 40 “Developmental Assets”, which have a tremendous influence on young people’s lives. Mastering these assets helps children and youth make wise decisions, choose positive paths, and develop into competent, caring, and responsible adults. We follow a weekly schedule based on Asset Building themes.
C.A.T.C.H. Kids is a recreation program designed to promote behaviours that assist in developing and maintaining health in school-age children. The primary goal is to promote healthy physical activity behaviours.
BGC York Region Club is a proud partner in Parks and Recreation Ontario’s HIGH FIVE® program. This program provides agencies with tools for measuring the success of their recreation programs for children in the area of healthy childhood development. Through our programs we strive to provide activities and environments where children feel safe, welcome, competent, connected, empowered and special.
We hire well-trained and experienced childcare workers into our children’s program. Our staff bring an outstanding experience and knowledge base with them. Our staff have qualifications in High Five, First Aid/CPR, CATCH Training and Rock Climbing wall certification. Our counselors are fun, energetic and have a strong commitment to quality children’s programming.
We acknowledge York Region is located on the traditional territory of many Indigenous peoples such as the Huron-Wendat First Nation, the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe peoples and the treaty territories of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. York Region falls under Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Williams Treaties with the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Georgina Island and Rama First Nations and the Mississaugas of Alderville, Curve Lake, Hiawatha and Scugog Island First Nations. There are also other land claims and treaty rights involving portions of York Region that have not been definitively resolved. The Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation is the closest First Nation community to York Region. We thank these and other Indigenous peoples for sharing their land with us.
