Child Care
At ACAC children are as important as adults. ACAC provides a variety of programs for children of all ages. The Adventure Central Wing on the second floor is dedicated to children. It is here that our Before & After School programs and Summer Camp programs run which members receive discounted rates on. Adventure Central also houses our morning Preschool Programs. Each program is 30 - 45 minutes in length and is free to Family Members. For more details on all these programs, click here.
The Kidz Zone, located on the first floor, provides high-quality childcare for members while they enjoy their time at the club, whether it is on the cardio machines, taking a group exercise class or enjoying a swim! Adult caregivers nurture your children in a safe, clean, fun area designed just for kids. Kids play games, make arts and crafts, participate in educational programs and have loads of fun! Family Members receive 2 hours and 15 minutes daily of Kidz Zone usage free of charge.
