Alina Ballerina · Dance · ages 2+ · Alina Ballerina Studio, 1187 Princess St, Unit 12A, Kingston

Their registration system shows live spots and several classes were on a waitlist in August — check it before you set your heart on a time.
From Ballet Level 1 up the studio expects two classes a week — factor that into both the schedule and the cost.
The tuition figures come from their registration system, which doesn't say what period they cover; given Dance with Me's 8-week session is $180, the $69/$92 are most likely monthly. Worth confirming with the studio.

Open May 14 to August 23, 2026, so the season is nearly over.
Tours leave every half hour and children under 13 go free, which makes it an easy hour rather than a whole outing.
It's a historic building, so there are some physical barriers — worth ringing ahead if you need step-free access.

Intro to Textile Arts for Kids (ages 8-12)
Inner Harbour Yarn · Visual arts · ages 8–12 · Inner Harbour Yarn, 12 Cataraqui St, Unit 103, Kingston
starts November 1, 2026. runs to December 6, 2026.
A six-week Sunday-morning series at a Kingston yarn shop that takes kids aged 8 to 12 through the textile arts: dyeing fabric and yarn, processing wool from raw fleece to roving, spinning it into yarn, felting, and weaving or spool knitting. It's meant as an overview — a taste of each craft rather than a deep dive — and the shop says it adapts each class to the students' progress and interests. All materials are included, and the projects go home at the end of the course.
Schedule: Sundays 9:00-11:30am — November 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 and December 6, 2026
Cost: $350 for the six-class series — all materials and a light snack included
$350 covers all six sessions, every material and a light snack each week — there is nothing to buy or bring.
Signing up is a checkout on the shop's website: the class goes in the cart like any other product.
Refunds shrink as the start nears — 90% more than two weeks before the first class, 50% up to 48 hours before, nothing after that. If too few children sign up, the shop says it will cancel a week ahead with a full refund.

Kingston School of Art (KSOA) · Visual arts · ages 16+ · Kingston School of Art, 1200 Princess St
starts September 17, 2026.
The art school's autumn line-up, open to students from 16 — a real studio course rather than a children's class, which makes it a good fit for an older teenager who has outgrown youth art programmes. Four offerings this fall: Three Printmaking Techniques (six weeks, September 17 to October 22), Learn to Draw (September 18 to November 5), Learn Calligraphy (four weeks, October 4 to 25) and a Printmaking Open Studio running twelve weeks from September 18.

Cost: Per course — see the school's shop
KSOA states plainly that its courses are for ages 16 and up — below that, this is not the right school.
Three Printmaking Techniques covers linoleum relief, drypoint and monoprinting, and uses the school's large-scale presses.
The Printmaking Open Studio is unstructured time on Kingston's only publicly available etching presses, priced at under $8.50 an hour, with an experienced printmaker on hand to help beginners.

Graded ballet on the Cecchetti syllabus, from Pre-Grade 1 up through Grade 6 and Advanced, with pointe classes bolted on once dancers reach Grade 5.

The Mini Dance Program at Kingston's non-competitive, not-for-profit dance school — parent-and-tot creative movement and circus for the 1-to-3 crowd, then Pre-Primary at four and Primary at five and a half, where dancers first go into class without a grown-up. Pre-Primary and Primary dancers perform in the year-end show at the Grand Theatre. Term 1 runs September 8 to December 13 2026 (14 weeks), Term 2 January 4 to June 5, 2027.

Unusually, KSD includes costumes — the school owns them and reuses them year to year, so there's no costume bill (you may buy one small piece to keep, for hygiene).
Your spot isn't held until the 25% deposit lands; the system releases it after 24 hours without payment.

Beginners at 7 or 8 with no training start at Level 1; a 12-to-18 year old trying a new style starts in a Teen class instead of with the little ones.
Contemporary 5, 6 and 7 meet twice a week (Monday and Wednesday) — the rest are once.

This is the studio's main season — one class a week, September through June, ending in a June recital at the Leon's Centre. Beginners start at six in ballet, jazz or tap; hip hop opens at seven, lyrical and step dance at ten, and baton twirling (majorette) runs as its own evening class. Alongside the recreational classes there is a graded stream following the British Association of Teachers of Dancing syllabus, from Primary up through Associate — your child's teacher decides when they are ready to move up. Marking its 40th year in 2026-27. The 2026-27 registration form is up on the studio's forms page.

Leisa's School of Dance · Dance · ages 2–3 · Leisa's School of Dance studio, 31 Steve Fonyo Dr, Kingston
Registration opens August 13, 2026. starts September 9, 2026.
A half-hour of music and movement for two and three year olds, with one grown-up on the floor dancing along the whole time. Runs in 8-week sessions rather than the full year, so it is a gentle way to test whether dance is your kid's thing. The next session starts Wednesday September 9 2026 and registration opens August 13. The 2026-27 registration form is up on the studio's forms page.
Schedule: Wed 9:30am · Sat 9:00am (two groups) · Sun 9:30am
Cost: $12.25 + HST per class (30 min) · $25 registration fee per child, max $50 per family
Registration opens August 13 2026. Returning families get first pick in the days before that, so the popular times can already be spoken for when the doors open.
Unlike the rest of the studio, this one is an 8-week session, not a September-to-June commitment.
The published schedule colour-codes classes that are already full — worth a look before you fill in the form.

Pre-Dance 1 & 2
Leisa's School of Dance · Dance · ages 3–6 · Leisa's School of Dance studio, 31 Steve Fonyo Dr, Kingston
Registration opens August 13, 2026. starts September 8, 2026.
The studio's on-ramp to real dance classes. Pre-Dance 1 is a 30-minute class for three and four year olds — movement games, a first taste of ballet and jazz, plenty of exploring. Pre-Dance 2 stretches to 45 minutes for four to six year olds and builds the technique they need to move into a ballet or jazz class at six. The 2026-27 season runs September to June, with classes starting the week of September 8. The 2026-27 registration form is up on the studio's forms page.
Schedule: Pre-Dance 1 (3-4): Mon 4:30pm · Wed 10:00am · Sat 9:30am (two groups) · Sun 10:00am — Pre-Dance 2 (4-6): Wed 5:00pm · Fri 5:00pm · Sat 10:00am & 10:15am · Sun 10:30am

Registration opens August 13 2026. Returning families register first in the days before that, so some times may already be full when it opens to everyone.
Tuition is billed in two terms — the first (September to January) is due when you register, the second on January 21 2027. No refunds after October 31.
If a class you want is full, the studio asks you to email for the waitlist; if enough families ask, they have added sections in the past.

Belleville Karate & Jiu-Jitsu · Martial arts, boxing & fencing · ages 6–17 · Belleville Karate & Jiu-Jitsu dojo, Belleville
Traditional karate and jiu-jitsu in a dojo with a dedicated kids' programme running four times a week — so a missed class isn't a missed week. They are open year round and take new students whenever you turn up, so there is no registration date to wait for.

Children from 6 years and up only — this is the club's own cut-off.
Classes run four times weekly, which makes it easier to fit around other activities.

Head-to-toe equipment is included and the child keeps it.

Belleville Minor Hockey Association · Hockey · ages 9–17 · Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre, 265 Cannifton Rd, Belleville

Ask about the season-long time and travel commitment before evaluations, not after.
The association's home page carries a 'Register now for 26-27 evaluations (tryouts)' link — evaluations are how you get in, not open registration.

Belleville Soccer Club · Soccer · ages 3–18 · Belleville Soccer Club fields (club office at the QSWC)

British Swim School runs an adaptive programme called Dolphin — lessons for swimmers of any age with developmental, sensory or physical differences, with instructor ratios set to each swimmer's needs.

Billed monthly with no fixed sessions — you start whenever you like and carry on, rather than signing up term by term.
Every class is 30 minutes, in groups of four to six.

Small groups: at most four children per instructor in survival classes, six in Tadpole and Stroke Development.

Special Hockey — for players with disabilities
Kingston Area Minor Hockey (KAMHA) · Hockey · ages 12+ · Cataraqui Arena, 1030 Sunnyside Rd, Kingston
Hockey for players with disabilities, running within KAMHA since 2015. Around twenty players train with half a dozen coaches and volunteers on Saturday afternoons. There is no age restriction and everyone plays together — members have ranged from twelve years old into their forties. Players wear Kingston Canadians jerseys, and local sponsors provide team jackets and hoodies.
Schedule: Saturday afternoons through the hockey season, at Cataraqui Arena
Cost: $350 for the season
No upper age limit — teens and adults play on the same team, so a player doesn't age out.
At $350 it costs well under half of KAMHA's regular house-league fee.
The program is always glad of volunteers — tying skates and helping on the ice.

Spring Ball Hockey League (co-ed + girls)
Kingston Ball Hockey League · Hockey · ages 4–15 · Multiple Locations / City-Wide
Registration usually opens around January 1 (typical timing, not a confirmed date).
The area's biggest ball hockey league — around a thousand players, with co-ed divisions from initiation up to bantam and a girls' program, the Kingston Chaos. The 2026 spring season has wrapped up, and registration for the next one is live on their site.
Cost: $179
The Initiation Program is for ages 3 to 5 and is the youngest entry point: a half-hour practice then a half-hour game, both played across the width of the floor rather than end to end (the IIHF model) so little players touch the ball far more often.
There are separate registration pages for co-ed and for the girls' program — check you are on the right one.
About a thousand players in recent years, which makes it the largest ball hockey league in the area.

Kingston Roller Derby · Skating · ages 8–17 · Thompson Drill Hall, 7 D'Artisan Rd (CFB Kingston)

CanSkate & Pre-CanSkate

Registration opens August 2, 2026. registration closes March 1, 2027. starts September 14, 2026.
Learn-to-skate with a club that has been teaching in Brockville since 1966, sanctioned by Skate Canada and Skate Ontario. PreCanSkate for the very newest, then CanSkate, each available Mondays, Saturdays or both. The 2026-27 season runs September 14 to April 24 and registration is open.
Cost: $350 for one day a week or $399 for two, plus about $175 in additional fees
Registration opened August 2 at 7pm and stays open until March 1 — unusually late, so a mid-season start is possible.
The fee is $399 with additional fees of roughly $175 to $240 depending on the group, and there is a community fundraising commitment you can opt out of by paying full rates.
No late fees — but they do not prorate either, so starting late costs the same as starting on time.

Storrington Minor Soccer Club · Soccer · Gerald Ball Memorial Park, 3364 Moreland-Dixon Rd, Sunbury
Summer youth soccer in South Frontenac, run by the Storrington club at the Gerald Ball fields. Their website hasn't been updated for a couple of seasons, so treat the dates on it with caution — but the club is still running.
Cost: See provider site

One-on-One Adapted Swim Lessons (Fall)
SwamCanada – Kingston · Swimming & water polo · ages 3–18 · Queen's University ARC pool, 284 Earl St, Kingston
Affordable one-on-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities, run by the Queen's University chapter of S.W.A.M. Canada — 30 minutes a week with the same instructor throughout.

Schedule: One-on-one, 30 minutes, once a week with the same instructor for the whole session
Cost: See provider site
Registration is not open right now (checked 22 August 2026).
It runs on the Queen's academic calendar rather than the usual community-programme seasons, so the intake follows the student term.
One instructor stays with your child for the whole session rather than rotating — the point of the programme.

Weekly Riding Lessons
Swiftwind Equine Center · Horseback riding · ages 6–18 · Swiftwind Farms, Lyndhurst

It's a real working farm, not just a lesson barn — kids get the agriculture alongside the riding.
They run non-rider horse activities too, which is useful if one sibling is keen and the other is nervous.
Lyndhurst is a genuine drive from Kingston; check lesson times before committing to a weekly slot.
Registration and details from Swiftwind Equine Center

Youth Leadership Program (free 8-session workshop)
Toastmasters – Youth Leadership · Leadership & first aid · ages 14–18 · Local club meeting venues, Kingston
Toastmasters' Youth Leadership Program is an eight-session workshop in public speaking and leadership for 14 to 18 year olds — practice at prepared and impromptu speeches, running a meeting, and taking a turn as a presiding officer. Whether it runs near you depends on whether a local club has chosen to put one on, so ask them directly.
Cost: Free
Contact a local Toastmasters club and ask whether they are running a Youth Leadership Program — that is the only way to find out. There is no public listing of which clubs offer it.
It is not open registration: a club's executive decides whether to run the workshop, and the club or a partner school picks the participants. Workshops are capped at 25.
Worth asking your teenager's school as well — schools can approach a club to host one for their students.

Parent 'N' Me Skate — free
Town of Greater Napanee · Skating · Best & Bash Arena, 16 McPherson Dr, Napanee
An hour of ice three mornings a week for grown-ups skating with little ones — skates and a helmet are all you need. It has run free when sponsored, and the town is currently looking for sponsors for the 2026/27 season, so confirm before you count on it.
Schedule: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10:00–11:00am
Cost: Free
Free — sponsored by Hartington Equipment.
Doesn't run on a handful of holiday dates; the town lists them on the same page.
Checked September 5, 2026: the town's page still shows last season's schedule and holiday exceptions (its PA-day list is headed 'Dates for 2025'), and says it is lining up sponsors for the 2026-27 season — so the winter schedule is not confirmed yet.
Registration and details from Town of Greater Napanee
Pre-School Skate Program (ages 2–5)
Town of Greater Napanee · Skating · ages 2–5 · Best & Bash Arena, 16 McPherson Dr, Napanee — Home Hardware Rink

Twenty minutes of instruction from a certified skating instructor, with practice time either side that's sectioned off so you can be out there with your child.

Schedule: Mondays 8:20-10:40am (a 20-minute lesson plus practice time)
Cost: $54 per child for the six-week session
This is the Town's own recreation program, run by the municipality at the arena — not the Napanee District Skating Club, whose Pre-CanSkate for 3-5s is a separate listing ($464 for a 22-week season). Same building, different organizations.
Helmets are mandatory for every child.
Registration closes September 17, 2026 — or earlier if the spots fill — through the town's online booking portal, not by phone.

Cost: $63.00–$70.30 + HST per 2-week session (2026)
Registration opened April 27 at 10:00am in 2026 — about five weeks after the day camp, so it's a second date to diary, not the same one.
Lesson length steps up with level: 30 minutes for Preschool and Swimmer 1–2, 45 minutes for Swimmer 3–6.
These are open-water beach lessons, not a pool — worth knowing if your child has only ever swum indoors.
