Trip Expectations & Procedures

The Early Bird Catches the Worm: All programs have a limited number of spaces available and are filled on a first come, first served basis. Once the trip is filled, all others will put on a wait list.  

Pickup & Drop-off Location:  All trips leave and return to Town Hall, meet in the lobby

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends:  On some trips, students in grades 7 and up will be using the buddy system and should try to sign up with a friend. They will check in with us at scheduled times and locations. See the program descriptions for details.


When A Phone Call Just Won’t Do:  When it comes to trips, you will be registered when a signed registration/waiver form and payment are received in our office. Just calling doesn't reserve a spot.

“Oh no, I Can’t Swim!”:  Please be sure that you know what your child’s capabilities and limitations are and pass that information on to us. Be sure that they meet the criteria listed in the program descriptions.  River tubing can be a frightening experience for a kid who can’t swim! 

“Oh Behave!”:  Our expectations of all program participants is that every youth is willing and able to abide by all guidelines and established rules for each trip. If kids are unable to do so, our trips may not be the best option for them this summer.

Refund  and Cancellation Policy: In most cases, refunds will only be given for fees if cancellation is received in our office at least 48 hours prior to the trip. In the case of extenuating circumstances, refunds may be given at our discretion.

Weather Policy: We make every effort to cancel trips the day before predicted storms to limit the inconvenience to parents. Unfortunately, the weather forecast isn’t always accurate which can result in a bad call on occasion.

How to Register:

Walk-In: Stop by our office in Town Hall. We are open Monday - Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.

Mail-In: Mail completed registration forms/waivers and payment (payable to the Town of Colchester) to CYSB.

Drop Box:  drop it in the drop box slot to the left of the front doors of the Town Hall.

 







































Please make sure to read the "Registration Information and Guidelines" at the bottom of this page before you register for any of our programs. Also please make sure to fill out all forms necessary for your activity. If you are participating with us in any program/trip for the first time since July 1, 2009 you will need to fill out a Transportation Waiver, Youth Services reg. form and an Individual Service Report (these are valid for one year). Spaces are limited, so don't miss out on a spot for a program due to incomplete registrations. Thank you!
