About

It covers City of Toronto recreation programs including swimming lessons, day camps, sports programs, and information about splash pads, wading pools, and outdoor pools. For Toronto-resident families, the guide is essential for summer camp registration.
City-run programs are significantly cheaper than private alternatives. Available online year-round at the City of Toronto website.
