Registration Tips
Many activities fill up quickly. For the best chance at successful registration, we recommend registering online and following these steps:
- If you can, before registration opens, attach a credit card to your account for easy and quick payment.
- Activities are viewable online two weeks before registration opens. Find the activities you’re interested in and click the heart icon to add them to your “saved for later” list.
- On the day registration opens, sign in to your account, and at 9:30 am, you will be able to enroll in the activities on your saved for later list.
If an activity is full, add yourself to the waitlist. You will be contacted if a spot becomes available.
