Plan ahead: summer camp registration day is quickly approaching.

Registration for Barrie summer camps starts next Tuesday.

However, beginning Wednesday, residents can browse programs and save them to their ‘Wish List’, to easily find programs they wish to attend when registration opens at 8 a.m. on Tuesday.

“We’re looking forward to another exciting summer camp season filled with great memories for our young residents,” said Kevin Datema, director of recreation & culture services.

“The city of Barrie’s camps are extremely popular because they deliver a rewarding, safe and fun summer experience that we know kids and youth in Barrie look forward to.”

Residents can also plan for spring recreation programming. The spring recreation ‘Wish List’ opens February 25 and registration will open on March 4 at 8 a.m.

In addition to in-person programs, the city offers recPASS memberships that include access to all drop-ins, including fitness, skating, open gym, kids programs, and swimming, as well as unlimited access to the city’s fitness centres at:

• East Bayfield Community Centre
• Allandale Recreation Centre
• Peggy Hill Team Community Centre

The City provides a fee assistance program, called recACCESS offering support to low-income families and residents by providing qualifying participants with a recPASS membership and youth credits that can be applied to the registration fee for qualifying programs and activities.

City staff encourage people to browse and register for recreation programming opportunities including summer camps at play.barrie.ca or in person at one of the three recreation centres.
