News Release

January 14, 2025 
  
City of Toronto launches full list of CampTO summer programs online  
 
From traditional day camp experiences to sports, arts, indoor, outdoor and nature-based activities, the City of Toronto is excited to offer an extensive lineup of summer programs for children and youth ages four to 16. 
 
With more than 30 types of camp programs at more than 140 locations, residents can now better prepare for next month’s city-wide registration by viewing the City of Toronto’s summer camp program list on the City’s CampTO webpage: https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/parks-recreation/program-activities/camps-after-school/campto/

CampTO will be available from early July to late August in neighbourhoods across the city, with opportunities to stay active, learn new skills, build friendships and create fun memories.  
 
The City continues to offer CampTO Plus at community centres and at Toronto History Museum sites. These specialized camps include a focus on areas such as arts, circus, creative writing, sports, magic, nature, drama, dance, science and French. Adapted and inclusive programs for participants with special needs or a disability will also be available. More information can be found on the City’s webpage: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/accessibility-human-rights/accessibility-at-the-city-of-toronto/city-services-for-people-with-disabilities/accessible-recreation/ 
 
Counsellor-In-Training (CIT) programs are also being offered this summer, providing participants between 13 and 16 years of age with an introduction to the fundamentals of being a Camp Counsellor. Participants will learn about program planning, working with campers in an interactive environment, and will experience a supervised practical placement in a City summer camp. 
 
Create a new account and wish list to prepare for registration  
 
Last November, the City officially launched a new registration and booking system for recreation and cultural activities, fitness or sports memberships and passes, and select facility bookings. Most residents will need to set up an account in the new system, even if they had one in the old system. Family and client numbers are no longer used. Clients will login to the new system using email and password.  
 
Residents are encouraged to explore the new system, create their new account and make a wish list before registration day.  
 
There are several resources available to assist in using the new system including.  

• Printed how-to postcards at community recreation centres  
• Public Help Sessions in-person and online throughout January.  
 
Additional resources available online include tutorial videos and step-by-step instructions to guide residents on what they need to do in the new system, from creating and updating an account, creating a wish list, completing program registration and more.   
 
Residents can access the new system and find many helpful resources on the Online Registration and Booking page: https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/parks-recreation/how-to-use-our-services/online-registration-booking/
