They don't publish an age range beyond 'minor hockey players' — ask where your child fits before booking.

Registration opens August 19, 2026. starts August 31, 2026. runs to November 7, 2026.

A named adaptive stream rather than an afterthought — the club lists it alongside its recreational and competitive programmes.

Registration and details from Greater Napanee Gymnastics Club

The competitive programme, for gymnasts who have come up through the recreational stream and want to compete.

Local League (U5–U18)

Napanee & District Minor Hockey · Hockey · ages 4–17 · Best & Bash Arena, 16 McPherson Dr, Napanee

registration closes September 14, 2026.

The town's own house-league hockey, from five-year-olds finding their feet right through U18, played out of the Best & Bash Arena. Registration for 2026–27 is open now, and the association has said division sizes are capped this year — so this is one where signing up early actually matters.

Cost: Early bird $350–$700; late fee Aug 15–Sept 14 $450–$800

Early-bird pricing ended August 14. From August 15 to September 14 the late fee applies: U5 $450, U7 $550, U9–U18 $800.

Representative Teams — evaluations (Napanee Stars)

Napanee & District Minor Hockey · Hockey · ages 8–17 · Best & Bash Arena, 16 McPherson Dr, Napanee

starts September 12, 2026.

The competitive stream — the Napanee Stars. You register for evaluations rather than for a team, so a place isn't guaranteed, and the travel and practice commitment is a step up from local league.

Cost: See provider site

Tryouts run at the Best & Bash (Goodyear) arena: prep skates Saturday September 12, evaluations Saturday September 19, then a scrimmage on September 20 or 21 depending on the division. Register and pay ($75) before stepping on the ice.

Napanee & District Minor Hockey · Hockey · ages 4–6 · Best & Bash Arena, 16 McPherson Dr, Napanee

registration closes September 14, 2026.

The first-skates end of the association — the OMHA Initiation Program, where the ice gets divided into small areas and nobody is expected to know what a blue line is yet.

Cost: U5 $350 / U7 $450 early bird

U5 is the cheapest way into the association at $350 early bird — worth knowing if you're not sure your child will take to it.

Local league registration for 2026-27 is open and division sizes are capped this year, so early matters more than usual.

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

registration closes September 17, 2026. starts September 21, 2026. runs to November 2, 2026.

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. Props, toys and music, and children are grouped by ability rather than age. The fall 2026 session runs Mondays from September 21 to November 2 (no lesson October 26) at the Best & Bash Arena, $54 per child, and registration closes September 17 or when the spots are gone.

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.

What activities really cost

Registration fees are just the opening bid. The honest math on gear, association fees and extras — plus where Kingston parents actually find used equipment.

Know a hidden cost we haven't listed?

Every activity has one — the fee nobody mentions until it arrives. If you've been caught out, tell the next parent: we check every tip, and the good ones become part of these guides.

Claim your listing

Run a kids' program anywhere from Belleville to Brockville? You're probably already listed — every organization we can find is included, free of charge. Claiming your listing takes a few minutes and keeps your information exactly the way you want it.

Free for providers

Claiming your listing lets you

  • Correct or update your program details, ages and prices anytime
  • Add your logo and a photo of your program
  • Tell us your registration dates, so parents hear the moment sign-ups open
  • Get a heads-up when a parent suggests an edit to your listing

Claiming is free and always will be — we're a parent-run directory, not a listings business. A real person reviews every claim, usually within a few days.

the story so far —

About ActivityScoop

ActivityScoop started as one Kingston parent doing what she apparently does best: reading every kids' activity website she could find and noting when sign-ups open. Eventually it made more sense to build the site we all wished existed — the inside scoop on kids' activities, programs and camps from Belleville to Brockville, from the big hockey associations to the studios you'd only hear about from a friend.

Browsing is free and you don't need an account. We don't take registrations or payments — when you're ready, we send you straight to the organization.

Facts, not reviews. No star ratings here, on purpose. Each listing carries "Good to know" — short, practical, checkable notes: how fast a program filled last year, what kids should wear, which fees are in the fine print. Parents contribute through specific questions (never a blank review box), and a real person reads every note before it publishes.
A note on accuracy. We check listings regularly and show a "last verified" date on each one, but details can change on short notice — always confirm with the provider. Spot something out of date? Every listing has a "suggest an edit" link.
Privacy, simply. Nothing here quietly gathers information about your children. If you use the age filter, those ages stay in your own browser. Join the Sunday brief and your address is used for exactly that — and leaving takes one click. The whole policy, in plain words →
Kindness, please. This site is run by one busy Kingston parent in the gaps of family life — not a company with a support desk. The whole point is to give us all a little time back: fewer late-night website hunts, more time with our kids, maybe even a coffee that's still hot. So when something's wrong (it will be, sometimes), a quick friendly "suggest an edit" fixes it for every parent who comes after you. Kind notes are what keep a small community project like this alive.
the easy way to use this site —

We'll keep an eye out for you

One short email every Sunday: which sign-ups open this week, which fill fast, and what to know before you register. We read the websites so you don't have to. Free, and leaving takes one click.

our promise —

Privacy, in plain words

ActivityScoop is a directory you read, not a service you sign up for. No accounts, no profiles — and the little data we do handle is listed below, all of it. Last updated: August 1, 2026.

What stays on your device

If you use the age filter ("only want what fits your kids?"), those ages are saved in your own browser and never sent to us. Same for your saved list — the hearts live on your device, not with us. Clearing your browser data clears both.

Counting visits — only if you say yes

We ask first: a one-time choice at the bottom of your screen. Say yes and a visit-counting service tallies which pages get read, which activities parents look for, roughly which towns visitors browse from. It's statistics, not identities: no names, and addresses are anonymized. Say no and nothing is counted; the site works exactly the same. Change your mind anytime with "Cookie choice" in the footer.

The Sunday brief

Signing up stores exactly one thing — your email address — with the service that sends the Sunday brief on our behalf. You confirm by email first (that's the law in Canada, and also just polite), every issue has a one-click unsubscribe, and the list is never sold, rented, or shared. Ever.

Notes and suggestions you send

When you suggest an organization, report a fix, or leave a note for the next parent, we receive what you typed — plus your name or email if the form asked for it. A real person reads it and uses it to improve the listing, and that's the whole journey. Published parent notes never include contact details.

What we may share

Aggregate, anonymous statistics — things like "swim listings were viewed 400 times in July." Numbers like these may appear in reports or be shared with the organizations and sponsors that keep the site free for parents. They're about pages, never about people: nothing in them can identify you or your kids.

We never sell personal information. Not your email, not what you send us, not anything that identifies a person. This isn't a "currently" — it's the rule.
No profiles behind your back. Ages you filter by stay in your own browser, and nothing on this site quietly gathers information about your kids. If optional parent accounts ever arrive — for sign-up alerts, say — any child profile will be one you create yourself, visible only to you, and deletable in one click.
No tracking ads. No ad networks, no retargeting pixels, no "we noticed you looked at soccer."

Who touches the data

A few outside services do the plumbing — one hosts the site and receives what you type into forms, one holds the newsletter list, one counts visits (and only after you say yes). Each sees just what its job requires, and we keep no servers or databases of our own. Some of these services are based outside Canada, so data may be processed in the United States. Curious which services? Ask — hello@activityscoop.ca answers honestly.

Questions, or changes

If how we handle data ever changes in a way that matters, this page changes first, the date above moves, and anything needing your consent gets asked for — not assumed. Something unclear, or want a note you sent deleted? Write to hello@activityscoop.ca — a real person answers.

the ground rules —

Terms of use, in plain words

ActivityScoop is a free directory made by a Kingston parent, for Kingston parents. Using it means agreeing to the commonsense rules below. Last updated: August 6, 2026.

What this site is (and isn't)

We list kids' activities across Kingston & area and the dates that matter, then link you to each provider's own website to register. We never handle registrations, payments or waitlists — all of that happens directly with the provider, on their terms. We're independent: not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any organization listed here. Provider names and logos belong to their owners; we show them so parents can recognize who's who. Any provider can claim their listing, correct it, or ask us to remove it — hello@activityscoop.ca.

About accuracy

We check provider websites on a regular schedule and stamp every listing with a "last verified" date — but details change on the provider's side without warning, and sometimes faster than we can catch. So the site is offered as-is: always confirm with the provider before making plans or paying anyone. If something here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it for every parent who comes after you — but decisions you make based on a listing are between you and the provider, and we can't accept responsibility for their programs, prices, schedules, cancellations, or anything that happens at an activity.

Using what's here

Browse, search, filter, save hearts, share links — it's free for families and always will be. Send a program page to every parent you know; that's the point.

What's not okay is copying the site itself. The descriptions, tips and guides are our original writing, and the collection as a whole — which programs are listed, how they're described, organized and verified — is ours too: © activityscoop.ca. Copying listings in bulk, scraping the site with automated tools, or republishing our writing or our data on another website, app or service isn't permitted without written permission. (Building something good for Kingston families and want the data? Just ask — hello@activityscoop.ca reads everything.)

The Sunday brief

Signing up for the newsletter is express opt-in, every issue has a one-click unsubscribe, and the list is never sold or shared. The full details live on the privacy page.

Changes, and questions

If these terms change in a way that matters, this page changes first and the date above moves. Something unclear? Write to hello@activityscoop.ca — a real person answers.
