Calling all young artists, creators, foodies, entrepreneurs and sports and fitness enthusiasts!
We’re celebrating YOU(th) in honour of National Youth Week. From Wednesday, May 1 to Tuesday, May 7, the City will host a variety of FREE activities for youth ages 10 to 17 at Vaughan community centres, fitness centres and the Vaughan Studios & Event Space.
What to expect
Vaughan teens and tweens: Get hyped for a week of unbeatable adventures, compliments of us! Whip up mouthwatering desserts, master CPR basics, compete in sports tournaments and fitness challenges, relax with yoga, or join us in making a difference through volunteering. Get the lowdown on how to start your own summer business and the secrets to entrepreneurial success. Roll strikes at bowling, dominate the pickleball court, or hit the bullseye with archery. Create a stop-motion animation or build a LEGO robot. Then, dive into the coolest pool party in town, complete with a line throw challenge and the freshest beats!
