Simplify online registrations
Our online registration forms are designed to be configurable to the needs of camps and activities for your sports and recreation programs. As easy as Google Forms, but with automated invoicing. Payment can be made online or offline, depending on your preferences.
Personalized text and email
Include the name of the participant, the activity, and the start date and time in all of your communications with participants. Send targeted SMS notifications for last-minute changes or cancellations.

Frequently asked questions about municipal recreation management
What tools are needed to manage a municipal recreation department?
A recreation department generally needs tools to manage programming, registrations and payments, facility bookings, attendance, communications with residents, as well as seasonal staff and volunteers. An all-in-one platform like Activity Messenger brings these features together and can also help manage administrative tasks such as documents, timesheets and RL-24 slips. This helps your municipal team manage fewer tools and reduce day-to-day administrative work. Book a meeting to discover the platform in detail.
How can municipal activity registrations be managed?
Municipal activity registrations can be managed with online registration software that lets residents browse the program, choose an activity, complete the required forms and pay online. For the recreation team, the platform can also manage available spots, waitlists, participant information and activity-related communications.
How can registrations for residents and non-residents be managed?
