 IN-PERSON REGISTRATION: In-person registration will be accepted starting at 8:00 a.m.  All registration fees must be paid in full by cash or check at the time of registration.

NO CREDIT CARDS for in-person registration.

FEES: No registration fees can be accepted at class locations or by instructors.  There will be a fee on all returned checks.

REFUNDS: All refunds must be requested before the start of the third class meeting.  If T-shirts, trophies or other expenses are incurred prior to patron requested refunds, a $5.00 service fee and a prorated fee will be withheld for each class.  Refunds take about two weeks to process.  No refunds will be issued for 1-day activities once the trip has left or an activity has begun.  If the department cancels an activity, a full refund will be given. The Recreation Department reserves the right to cancel and/or reschedule any activity where there is insufficient registration or other causes beyond its control.  The convenience fee for registering online is-nonrefundable.

NON-RESIDENT POLICY:   An additional fee of $4.00 will be assessed for each activity.  A $1.00 non-resident fee will be assessed for one-day activities.

FAMILY DISCOUNT POLICY: If you have children who are involved in the SAME recreation program, there will be a $5.00 discount for each child after the first two pay full price. No discount is available for programs that are contracted out with private companies or one day activities.  This discount is not available for online registration.

YOUTH SPORTS: All Youth Sports program participants will have a choice of going on a team roster OR going on a waiting list.  Participants can no longer do both!  Once a spot is made available after being contacted, you have three business days to make payment or your name will be removed from the wait list.

TRANSFER POLICY: There will be a $5.00 transfer fee (per person) for all transfers from one activity to another.  Transfers must be done in person at the Recreation Department.

FALSIFICATION OF INFORMATION: Participants falsifying information will be dismissed from the program and no refund will be granted.

LATE T-SHIRT/SHORTS NOTICE: If you register your child late (when you pay an additional $5.00) for a sports program, there is no guarantee that your child’s uniform will be delivered on time with those who registered early. The Department will make every attempt to deliver them with the rest of the team but most likely your uniform will be an “add on” which will be late.

THANK YOU!  The City extends their appreciation to the Madison Schools and Lamphere Schools for the use of their facilities.
