Withdrawal Policy for Recreation Activities other than Day Camps

Once a participant is registered for a Recreation activity (excluding our day camps), a request to withdraw and receive a credit will be granted when the request is received in writing prior to the start of the activity. There is a $20 administrative fee per section for credits. Should someone withdraw from an activity after it has begun, the credit will be pro-rated based on the time remaining in the activity when the withdrawal is requested.

The general policy of the Recreation Division is that we do not issue refunds for a Recreation activity unless it has been cancelled. Registrants assume full responsibility for any changes in their personal life, which may affect their ability to participate. Please read all registration information carefully and contact us prior to registering if you have any questions.

Waitlist Policy for Recreation Activities other than Day Camps

Once maximum enrollment has been reached for activity registration, a participant may elect to be placed on a waitlist. Should additional registration spots become available, those on the waitlist will be contacted in numerical order. Once contacted, if the person is still interested in enrollment in the activity, they will have two business days to make payment for the activity fee. If complete payment is not made within two business days, that person will be removed from the waitlist and the next person waitlisted will be contacted. If the waitlisted person is no longer interested in the activity, then the next person on the waitlist will immediately be contacted. Additionally, if the waitlisted person declines to respond to the Department of Parks & Recreation within two business days, the next person waitlisted will be contacted.
