Recreation Programs

Looking to increase your activity level, learn a new skill or meet new people? The City's Recreation and Youth Division offers seasonal activity guides full of a wide range of activities and recreational pursuits that meet your needs! In addition, we offer a variety of different sports leagues and tournaments as well as some unique services such as rock climbing and public skating.

We offer two types of programming, registered and drop-in programming.

Drop-In Programs: These programs are just that- drop in at the date and time listed!  All drop-in programming located at the Orillia Recreation Centre is included in your FunPass. Don't have a FunPass? No problem! Pay our daily rate to access these programs. No prior registration is needed

To view a daily list of drop-in programs visit our Fun Orillia drop-in page by clicking the button below (orillia.ca/active).

 

Registered Programs: These programs are a set fee for a set time block (i.e. $90.00 for 8 weeks).Participants must sign up in advance for these programs. These programs are typically progressive in nature and require specialty instruction. These can be found in our seasonal brochures and are offered each season (see below).

To view a list of our registered programs visit the S.U.N. Registration System registration page by clicking the button below.

Sun Registration

How to Register for Programs

Use our online Registration System (SUN Registration) and sign in at the top right-hand corner with your email and password. If it's been awhile, you can always select "Forgot your password?" or "Forgot your log in". Once logged in search for the program you're interested in!

If you have never registered for a program before, use the "Create an Account" feature in the top right-hand corner. Please note that in order to create an account for a child you must create an account for their guardian over the age of 18Y first. 

If you have only ever registered with us in person, please do not create a duplicate account. Reach out to us via 705-325-4386 (4FUN) or recreation@orillia.ca and we can add an email and/or password to your account and ensure you are set up for online registration.

New Customer? 

Visit the S.U.N. Registration System and use the "Create an Account" feature in the top right-hand corner. Please note that in order to create an account for a child you must create an account for their guardian over the age of 18Y first. 

Need Help?

Need help registering? One of our Customer Service staff will be happy to help you! Register in person at the Orillia Recreation Centre during our regular business hours.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Can I register over the Phone?
Registration is only available online using the S.U.N. Registration System or in-person at the Orillia Recreation Centre. The participant (or the participant's guardian if under 18) needs to sign or check off online that they agree to the waiver and payment does need to be made at the time of registration.
When is the Next Recreation Guide Released?

The guides are released around the same time each year online.

 

Winter Made Fun: Beginning of December

Spring Made Fun: Mid-February

Summer Splash: Beginning of March

Summer Made Fun: End of April

Fall Made Fun: Mid-August

How do wait lists work?

If you put yourself on a wait list, staff will notify you of an opening if it becomes available. This can be due to someone withdrawing or, occasionally, if we are able to open up more space.

Are any discounts available?

Occasionally we offer promotional early bird discounts for certain programs. Watch for advertising in the rec guide, on social media and in the section above. When we offer discounts, we lower the prices until the advertised due date so no coupon codes are required. Discounts cannot be applied after prices go up. We also offer a senior discount of 25% for anyone 60 years of age or older. This discount is automatically applied to your registration based on the birth date we have on file.

Course Cancellation

We endeavour to run all program as advertised, however occasionally programs need to be cancelled if the minimum enrolment is not met to break even. Programs are dependent on instructor availability and program demand. We will decide if a program can run or not approximately one week before the start date. This allows any registrants enough time to find another program. Please note that all programs have different minimums based on costs.

If the minimum amount of participants is not met on week prior to a program's start date, programs usually need to be cancelled. Register early to avoid cancellations. If a course is cancelled, you will be contacted and a full refund will be issued to your account. 

If it is necessary to cancel a single class due to inclement weather, school board cancellations, pool closures, instructor illness, etc.  every attempt will be made to re-schedule the class. However, if the class cannot be re-scheduled, a pro-rated refund will be issued to your account. For last minute changes, we will do our best to contact participants via e-mail with the exception of mass weather cancellations. A decision is made to cancel a class due to weather after 3:00 p.m. and a notification can be found on our social media accounts.

The Recreation and Youth Services Division reserves the right to withdraw, postpone, cancel or combine classes, to limit/increase registration or change course locations at any time. Please note that credits left on your account will expire 24 months after the date of the original credit entry if not obtained.

Course Availability
To find out what courses are currently available, please contact us at recreation@orillia.ca or 705-325-4FUN (4386) during regular business hours or visit the S.U.N. Registration System.
 Payments
Full payment is required upon registration. Registrations must be done in person at the Orillia City Centre or online on the S.U.N. Registration System so that you can agree to/sign the waiver.
 NSF Cheques
 There is a $36.00 administration fee for all NSF cheques and returned payments.
 Non-Resident Fee
A non-resident fee of 25% will be added per person, per course.
Age Limitations
Check individual programs for age restrictions. Instructors are aware of the development needs of children and tailor specific classes to meet these needs. Allowing children that do not meet the requirements into programs could potentially cause distractions and lower the quality of the program for all participants. Exceptions could be made depending on the level of maturity and the parents’ discretion coupled with the nature of the program. Please note that supervisory ratios are also different, depending on the program. To ask about an age override, please contact Megan Visser, Recreation Program Supervisor, at mvisser@orillia.ca or 705-325-4786.
Registration Confirmation
Registration is only confirmed when you receive a confirmation. Online, you will be able to print a confirmation receipt. In person, you will be given a copy of your receipt. You can request this be emailed instead.
Late Registration/Proration
Typically, you can register until the halfway point of a course (if it still has openings). Most programs will be prorated unless otherwise specified. Refunds will not be provided for missed classes once enrolled.
Withdrawing from a Program
Refunds/credits will be issued up to seven days prior to the start of a program with an administrative fee of 10%. Visit the S.U.N. Registration System to withdraw from a program seven days prior to the start. Medical refund requests must be accompanied by a doctor's certificate/note and the 10% administrative fee will be waived. It will only be processed up to the halfway point of any recreation/culture program. Absolutely no refunds will be given after the mid-point of a program. The refund will be pro-rated based on the number of classes left in the recreation/culture program at the time the request is received, regardless of the date the registrant stopped attending the recreation/culture program.
Credits/Refunds
If a program is cancelled, you will get a full refund placed on your account. You may request this be refunded back the way you paid. We do not save your credit card information automatically for security purposes so we will usually require that information from you to process the refund. If you paid by cash or debit you will need to come to the Orillia City Centre to obtain the refund. Please note that credits left on your account will expire 24 months after the date of the original credit entry if not obtained.
