Things to do in Whitby with kids
36 dated listings for school-age kids in Whitby in the next 60 days — after-school, camps, courses and youth sports, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.
Kids life in Whitby — the short version
If you're raising kids in Whitby, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Dec 2, Whitby's feed lists 36 dated listings for this age — 6 different programs, covering after-school, camps, courses and youth sports. Most of it runs at Brooklin Branch (16) and Central Library (13).
Everything here is a real listing from Whitby's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 5–12 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door. The library branches showing up for this age are Central Library and Whitby Public Library.

Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Whitby: 36 dated listings in the next 60 days; 35 run after school on a weekday and 0 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Brooklin Branch with 16 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Whitby's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions
What's on in Whitby for school-age kids right now?
The feed lists 36 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Dec 2 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for school-age kids in Whitby?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
