💦SAVE THE DATE💦

Something big is about to make waves!🌊

The 2nd Annual Make a Splash Fundraiser returns on Saturday, October 3 at H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre!

Join us for a fun-filled day featuring:
🐥 Rubber duck races down the H2O lazy river
🌭 BBQ by donation
🏊 Team water relay competitions
🎉Family-friendly activities and more splash-tastic fun!

Every duck adopted provides free swim lessons to a Grade 3 student in School District 23, giving local children the skills and confidence they need to stay safe in and around the water.

Together, we can help drown-proof the Okanagan, one duck at a time.💙

Learn more and adopt a duck today at ymcasibc.ca/splash

H2O is one of Kelowna’s busiest recreation spaces, supporting thousands of visits weekly. Thankful to be partnered with the City of Kelowna to be able to have a space where everyone belongs.

Today is World Skills Youth Day! 🌎❤ The skills youth build today shape the leaders of tomorrow.

At the YMCA, we're proud to offer opportunities for young leaders that help them grow and thrive. Some of our young leaders at the Y had the chance to attend experiences such as the YMCA Young Leaders Conference, while our free employment services help youth across our community build confidence and prepare for real-world experiences.

“Overall, the YMCA Young Leaders Conference had a big impact on my growth as a leader… and gained valuable insights that continue to influence how I approach my role at the Y today.” - Megan Alcock

Together, we’re helping youth gain the skills they need to thrive!✨

What people remember most about the YMCA is the people.

Our staff and volunteers create welcoming, supportive spaces where everyone can feel they belong, every day, across our community.

Access matters.
