FAQ/ frequently asked questions

How much does the program cost?

 

Capital Kids runs 4 one-hour lessons over a month each location for $15 in summer. In winter, the registration fee is $20 because we need to book the indoor courts. In previous years we had a Trillium grant which helped us run the program as a free program, however, this has ended and we now have to cover our basic costs (instructor pay and equipment).  The program is run as a not-for-profit.
