Yes! Registration takes places online. Please ensure your account is active and your details are up-to-date before registration opens.

If you have previously attended programming at the JCC, you will be required to login with your email on file. Click 'forgot password' in order to reset. Creating a new account will duplicate your profile within the system.

Note: Only the the main account owner will be able to register children into programming. If you do not see your child listed on your account, check to see if they appear under the other parent's account. If you required assistance, please contact us at 403-253-8600 x0.

Due to high demand, some camp groups may have waitlists once full. We will notify those on the list if a spot becomes available. Waitlisted participants will have a 24-hour window to confirm their spot before we contact the next in line.

Registration is on-going throughout the camp season. However, individual weeks will close on the Wednesday at noon prior to the scheduled camp week. For example, registration for the first day of camp (Monday, June 29) will close on Wednesday, June 24 at noon. Be sure to register before the deadline to secure your spot for the week!

Please indicate any allergies or medical conditions during registration. If your child needs to bring emergency medications, complete the appropriate form and email it to our camp office. You can find additional forms under the forms tab of our website menu.

Yes! Campers will have scheduled free-swim periods at the Steven Blitz Aquatics Centre, here at the JCC. Children ages seven years and younger must wear a lifejacket while in the pool. Campers over eight years old aare eligible to take a swim test to be exempt from wearing a lifejacket. Lifejackets are provided, but if a camper prefers to bring one from home they are more than welcome to! We ask that you refrain from bringing 'puddle jumper' style lifejackets.

Yes! Field trips are one of our favourite camp activities and typically take place once a week. Occasionally, a scheduled field trip may be replaced with another specialty experience (for example, skateboarding or specialty art lessons) relevant to the camp theme. Field trip locations will be listed in the schedule sent to you the week before your child's attendance. If you do not want your child to attend a scheduled field trip, we ask that you keep them home that day, as no alternate activities will be provided.

Campers must bring their own snacks and meals, unless pre-registered in advance for the Karen's Café Lunch Option (available only for the full week, not individual days). All food brought to camp must be nut-free and kosher-sensitive.

Please register your child according to the grade they will enter in September 2026. We cannot guarantee group changes will be possible once the camp season has started.

All participants must be the minimum listed age for each group by December 31, 2026.

If your child's birthday falls during the camp season, register them for the age group corresponding to their upcoming grade. For example, if your child turns seven years old on July 27, register them for the seven-year-old or grade two programs.

If your child will be absent from camp, please notify us directly by email. Unfortunately, we cannot provide prorated fees for absences.

Yes! Detailed information, including the camp schedule, field trip locations, and any specific instructions for your child's upcoming week, will be sent to you during the week prior to your child's scheduled attendance. If for any reason you do not receive this information, please reach out to the camp director by the prior Thursday.
