CKRecreation is preparing to heat up family winters.
The municipal department has a full slate of programming, and will also launch a new online program guide this winter.
“The CKRecreation team is excited to be able to provide the residents of Chatham-Kent with an enhanced user experience when it comes to registering for CKRecreation programs,” said Kelly Emery, director of Child Care, Early Years and Recreation, in a media release. “With the continued reopening of Ontario through the province’s Roadmap to Reopen, we are able to find more stability in our program offerings and thus want to provide our users with a seamless experience from start to finish.”
The online program guide will feature programs from recreation, inclusive recreation and aquatics. Users can click on the exact program they want to register for and will be brought to the specific registration page, providing a much more user-friendly experience, officials said.
CKRecreation has expanded its program offerings this winter to meet the increased demand for recreational opportunities within Chatham-Kent. Participants can expect to see popular favourites such as Learn to Skate, Swimming Lessons and Inclusive Recreation Zumba return in addition to exciting new programs including Let’s Play Saturday’s and Inclusive Recreation Active Hour.
March Break camp will also return, after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19.
“The success of our camps this summer demonstrated that there is a significant demand for recreational opportunities for children during school breaks,” said Emery. “That’s why we have expanded our March Break camp locations to include Blenheim and Wallaceburg, in addition to our flagship Chatham camp.”
Recreation operations will comply with Ontario’s COVID-19 regulations, including the proof of vaccination requirement. All individuals aged 12 and over entering a CKRecreation program/facility must provide proof of full vaccination and ID.
