Tip: When registering online, use the search icon at the top of the screen or the "Filter By" column on the left to select the locations, weeks and camper age groups in which you are interested. The Location option shows programs alphabetically by city name. Note that programs within Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga, Vaughan and Cambridge will appear under those city names rather than under the regions within them (e. g. you will find North York under Toronto / North York, and Thornhill under Vaughan / Thornhill).

Tip: Programs are listed in order by start date. Those with the earliest dates appear first. To find those with later dates, you will need to skip to subsequent pages of the listing; or else use the options to "Filter" and select either Locations, Dates, Ages, etc.

Tip: In the center of the Session Selection screen, there is a "Session List" tab and a "Calendar" tab. Please note that if you select the Calendar tab, you will not see all available programs, since there are generally too many for all of them to be displayed on this screen. It is best to use the Session List tab.

We recommend online registration (with Visa or Mastercard) as the preferred option; it is safe and easy, using our secure encrypted server, and you will receive your confirmation and receipt immediately via e-mail.

If online registration is not possible for you, you can also print our registration form in PDF format, using the option above, and return if to us via mail, e-mail or fax.
