Click Next
On the Select Fees screen, click Register Another Participant for this Activity below the Proceed to Shopping Cart button

Information icon You may enroll more than one person under the profile you are registering. The price will be calculated based on the selected profile, however this can be adjusted by a cashier at the facility upon arrival.
You won't be able to register for a course that is full, but you can add your name to the waiting list.
If a space opens for that activity or additional sessions are added, you will likely be contacted first by phone and later by email. If we are unable to reach you, your space will be given to the next person on the waiting list.
If you don't want to be placed on the waiting list, click Remove, which appears on the Shopping Cart screen.
Placement on a waiting list does not guarantee a spot.
An incomplete entry in your shopping cart can mean different things. You may have selected a course where you did not meet a certain requirement: age, skill, pre-requisite, etc.
You can fix an incomplete entry in two ways:
The specific reason your entry is incomplete is always provided on the screen where you select the participant. Click Edit to start the enrollment again; this will take you back to the select participant page where specific error messages are listed.
Click Remove to the left of the error message and start over. The specific error will be listed on the page where you select the participant.

In the activity search page, search for the activity
Click on the activity under the Name column
Click Add to Wish List

More
Courses that are similar are grouped into this button. For example, clicking More will take you to a page with similar activities that have possibly different times and dates.
After logging into your account, click My Wish List located at the top of your screen. From here you may view or remove an Activity by clicking the Heart.
