If you would like your child to attend one of our Clubs, please add them to our Inventory of Interest list which will be available at 9am on Friday, April 25, 2025. Please be aware that these lists can be quite long, and in many cases, families may remain on the list for several years before a space becomes available.
We offer spots throughout the year as openings arise. Once your child secures a spot, it will be reserved for them on an ongoing basis—year after year—until they either age out of the program or you choose to withdraw.
Due to this continuity, some Clubs may have only one or two openings each school year.
As of September 2025, BGC South Vancouver Island will be offering full-time Out of School Care at the following new in-school locations: Wishart Elementary School, David Cameron Elementary School, Happy Valley School, Colwood Elementary School. If your child is currently enrolled in the Happy Campers Out of School Care program at any of these in-school locations, please refer to the notice for instructions (link here) on how to identify yourself for priority placement.
