Recreation Programming

We recognize the importance of living healthy, active lifestyles and coming together as a community for fun and recreation. Throughout the summer the municipality offers summer day camp programming at different locations. During winter, public skating is offered at Hensall and Zurich Arenas. Information about these two programs is available on the individual program pages.

The Municipality of Bluewater offers a variety of programs for all ages. View details about available programs and register online through ActiveNet, our online registration portal. You'll find the link near the top of this page.

Some of the programs we're excited to offer include:

  • Pickleball
  • Youth camps
  • Various instructor-led fitness programs
  • One time special interest events and workshops

If you have any questions about the online registration system, please contact the Recreation Coordinator by email or phone 519-236-4351 ext. 248
