How can youth experience active healthy living at UVic?
Introduce your child to UVic through our sport and recreation programs for children and youth. Research shows that kids who have fun while participating in physical activity are more likely to stay active and healthy for life!
Leverage our world-class facilities and expert staff to bring movement, physical literacy and an active lifestyle to your children all year round.
