I’ve highlighted most of the beautiful regions you’ll find on Victoria's real estate listings, but here is one of Victoria’s best-kept secrets: Oak Bay.

Summer is finally here! It's the time when everyone is excited to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather with their friends and family.

You may be wondering if there is something especially for your child which they can enjoy during this wonderful season, and I’ve got the perfect answer for that. Oak Bay has plenty of youth programs that offer a wide range of activities for your child to enjoy, and I’m here to tell you about some of the best ones.

Of all the regions listed on the Victoria MLS, Oak Bay is probably my youngest kid’s favourite, and if you’re a family with young ones looking to relocate, I would strongly recommend it.

There are many benefits of enrolling your child into youth programs as they can not only learn skills and knowledge, but they will also have the opportunity to make some new friends. Allowing them to participate in such social environments will boost their confidence, help them develop positive attitudes and beliefs, and will improve their physical health.

So without further ado, let me tell you about some of the best youth programs found in our beautiful Oak Bay!

Summer Hockey Camps

If your child loves hockey, then these camps are the perfect program for them. With these programs, they’ll be learning hockey knowledge and skills which will be taught by extremely experienced coaches.

Dennise Bowles, an expert coach who has worked with Victoria’s best players, offers great programs at Power Unlimited that will take your child’s game to the next level. The program is designed for experienced hockey players, and each player must have their skates and equipment. The best part about the programs offered at Power Unlimited is that all ages and genders can join!

The Karate Brothers Program

Taught by Canadian champions and Pan-American Silver medalists Geoffery and Jean Newell, they will teach your child self-defence skills, confidence, respect, and discipline. This program is for children of all genders aged five to 13 years old!

Two things are needed: comfortable clothes that your child can move around comfortably in, and a water bottle to stay hydrated! This program is perfect for children that love to take on new challenges in a safe environment.

Swimming Programs

This activity is one of the best to take part in during this wonderful warm season. Not only can you jump into a cool pool on a hot day and feel refreshed, but you can also be active while having fun.

Many swimming programs are offered here in Oak Bay. If your child is an experienced swimmer, there are many programs for all ages and genders ranging from aquafit, water-walking, and more.

If your child is a beginner, there are also swimming lessons offered by Recreation Oak Bay’s Aquatic Department! Also offered for all ages and genders, this inclusive program is perfect for those looking to learn how to swim and about water safety.

Musical Theatre Programs

If you’ve noticed that your child has a passion for music, then Alison Roberts’ program is perfect for them! This weekly program will include singing, dancing, and acting techniques that your child will learn in a fun and safe environment. The program is for children aged seven to 12 years.

What makes this new program so great is that at the end of the eight weeks, the class will put on a special show for an audience! This is an amazing opportunity for your child to perform in front of an audience, and you’ll get to watch their talent firsthand!

Youth Ultimate Outdoor Week

This program is a favourite for many families that I’ve connected with, as there is simply so much that your child will be participating in. For children aged 11-18 years, this camp is the perfect place to make some new friends while doing fun activities.

Offered only in July, this amazing five-day program includes activities such as whale-watching, ziplining, paintballing, and more! And, campers will be going to a local beach every day! This program runs from Monday to Friday, starting at 10 AM and finishing at 5 PM. Transportation is also included!

Wrap Up

I’ve covered some of the best youth programs offered here in Oak Bay, but there are much more that I haven’t discussed. Be sure to check out Oak Bay’s Active Living Guide to learn more about all of the youth programs offered in Oak Bay! You might even find a program for yourself because there are also many adult programs being offered.

And, if you’re looking for real estate in Victoria, BC, give Oak Bay a look. You may be pleasantly surprised with how it compares with the rest of the “victoria island” real estate.

Get out there and enjoy your summer break! Have a wonderful summer, everyone!
