Age range: The age range displays like this online: a course for 6 to 8 years is for children who are 6 years old up to (but NOT including) 8 years of age. So you must be under the age of 8 to register.

If your child is 12, please select the Youth category. If you are 18, please select the Adult category and if you are 65, please select the Senior category.
