Summer Camp Registration Information

Summer Camp Registration Information
May 21, 2025 – Iqaluit, Nunavut

The City of Iqaluit would like to advise residents that online registration for the 2025 Summer Camp season will open on Monday, May 26 at 1:00 PM and close on Friday, June 6 at 5:00 PM.

To ensure fair access for all families, the City is introducing a lottery-based registration system for summer camps this year.

In previous years, camp spaces filled up within minutes, making it difficult for many families to secure a spot—especially those dealing with internet limitations or scheduling conflicts. This new process is designed to reduce stress and increase equity by giving all residents an equal opportunity to register, regardless of when they log in during the registration window.

How to Register – Lottery Waitlist Process

Step 1: Visit https://iqaluit.ca/residents/recreation and click on the link that says "Recreation Online Registration Portal". Log in to your ActiveNet account. If you do not have an account, you must create one before registering. Residents are encouraged to complete this step in advance to avoid any delays when registration opens.

Step 2: Go to the registration section and select the camp weeks you would like your child to attend.

Step 3: All registered children will be automatically placed on a waitlist for each week selected. Although all weeks will appear as “Full,” please continue with the registration process to be added to the waitlist for your chosen weeks.

Step 4: Your child will be placed on the waitlist for each selected week.

Step 5: After registration closes on June 6, a random lottery draw will be held for each camp week.

Step 6: If your child is selected through the lottery, you will receive an email confirmation indicating their enrolment.

The City thanks residents for their understanding and support as we introduce this new registration method to serve the community best.
