GENERAL INFORMATION
Insurance Information We are unable to assume responsibility for injuries/accidents occurring at programs or on park facilities. Such insurance would make programs and user fees prohibitive. Photo Permission Participants permit the taking of photographs and video of themselves and their children during activities for publication and use for promotional purposes unless otherwise stated.
Americans with Disabilities Act We are committed to accessibility for individuals with disabilities and strive to provide equal, integrated participation in all programs and services. We will reasonably accommodate all qualified program applicants in accordance with the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We welcome questions, comments and concerns of interested community members regarding ADA compliance.
Find a Mistake? It is our policy to include something for everyone. Since some people like to find errors, we regularly include a few in our brochure to meet this need. A Parks and Recreation water bottle will be awarded to the first caller to report an error.
Program Changes Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this program guide. However, all courses, instructors, locations and fees described are subject to change.
Refund Policy/Satisfaction Guarantee Colchester Parks & Recreation stands behind all of its programs and activities with a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied, we will do what it takes to make things right.
Inability to Pay If a hardship exists, the applicant may be granted a reduced or waived fee. Forms are available upon request. Confidential written applications may be made to the Parks and Recreation Director.
Non-Resident Policy Colchester residents’ registrations will be processed first. Non-residents are eligible to participate if space allows. Non-resident registrations will be processed one week after registrations begin. There will be a $15.00 nonresident fee per person for each program, except where noted. Non-residents may be placed on a waiting list, and will be called after all Colchester residents from the waiting list are contacted. Non-residents are ineligible to participate in a lottery. This policy excludes bus trips. Please keep in mind the deadline to register for classes is 1 week prior to the start date.
Waiting List All registrations are accepted on a “first come, first served basis”, unless otherwise noted. Enrollment cannot be guaranteed. If your desired class is filled, you will be notified and placed on a waiting list. We will make every effort to accommodate those on the waiting list by adding classes if possible. If additional class openings become available, we will use the waiting list to fill the class.
LOW ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE The Early Bird Gets the Worm! Don’t let a great program get cancelled due to low enrollment! REGISTER EARLY! If a program does not meet its minimum enrollment number one week prior to the start of the program, it will be cancelled.
PAYMENT PLANS May be permitted by special arrangement. |
