The Resort Municipality of Whistler’s recreational based programs are designed to developmentally progress your child through the years.

Our programs support and encourage emotional, cognitive, social and physical development through a variety of arts, crafts, songs, storytelling, games, fine and gross motor activities, and of course free play. Programs and program leaders meet the children with activities that provide age appropriate challenges and plenty of opportunities for success. The fun environment with positive leader encouragement will keep children engaged and excited to attend.
