Helpful tips
The registration system allows for more people to be online at the same time, but spaces in popular programs – like swimming – will still be snapped up quickly. Here are some registration night tips:
- Create an online account in advance and get familiar with it.
- Set up your account by adding family members and saving a credit card.
- Make a wish list and bookmark your preferred activities. This won’t give you priority, but it will make finding your activities faster.
- Select and wish list a few back-up options in case your first choice is fully registered.
- Sign-on before the 9 pm registration time and get ready to enroll.
