2026 Summer camps
REGISTRATION OPENS MARCH 26!
Please note that we are using a new registration system, so if you've registered for a program before, things will look a bit different this time. You can now register siblings together by selecting multiple tickets and then completing the registration form for each participant.
NEW: Different Process for Paying Offline/Later
Our old system allowed you to register and hold a space without paying immediately. Our new system does not have that function, so to confirm your space, we encourage you to pay immediately by credit card.
If you would like to pay later, use a different payment method (e.g., by cash, cheque, or e-transfer), have a payment plan, or go through ProKids, please enter the discount code PayLater when checking out. Note: you must pay or discuss alternate payment options within 2 weeks of registering, or your spot will not be confirmed.
NEW: Sibling Discount!
If registering siblings for the same program, enter the discount code Sibling to receive 25% off! Please note that the discount must be applied while checking out for it to be honoured.
Early Drop-Off and Late Pick-Up!
For our camps for ages 6-8 and 9-12, we will continue to provide the option to add early drop-off starting at 8:30 and late pick-up until 4:30 for $50 per week. If you’re interested, you can opt in when completing the registration form!
We Hope to See You at Camp!
