TORONTO — The City of Toronto has opened its 2026 summer recreation program listings, offering thousands of opportunities for residents of all ages to stay active, creative and connected throughout the season.

With approximately 10,200 registered courses and 75,000 program spaces, the City is once again positioning itself as the largest provider of recreation programming in Toronto. The offerings include everything from sports like soccer and pickleball to arts, crafts and swimming programs, alongside the already announced CampTO summer camps.

Wide Range of Programs for All Ages

City officials say the expanded lineup reflects growing demand for accessible, community-based programming.

Programs are designed to serve a wide range of residents, including children, youth, adults and older adults, with options tailored to varying interests and skill levels. Many activities will take place at community recreation centres across Toronto.

The City also continues to offer low-cost programs, with additional support available through the Welcome Policy – Recreation Fee Subsidy program, which helps eligible residents access recreation services at reduced or no cost.

The City’s summer recreation activities are now online.
