Winter/Spring 2017 Rec Guide by City of Eugene

Find your community with Eugene Rec Nothing lights up the room like the smile of someone who just won a game of bingo. But Campbell Community Center is more than that. Yes, we provide patrons with a well-rounded offering of activities and groups beyond the cliché senior centers of yesteryear. Eugene Rec does as well, taking its role as a community builder seriously because we know these social connections are key. Studies show people who have satisfying relationships with family, friends and their community are happier, have fewer health problems and live longer. Within the pages of this Rec Guide anyone can discover new communities to join, no matter their passion. Take, for instance, a recent trip a group of seniors made to Portland to go indoor skydiving. One 82-year-old participant grinned like a 12-year-old boy when the indoor wind tunnel lifted him off his feet. The smiling was infectious for the entire group

Senior indoor skydiving trip. with spontaneous bouts of clapping and cheering breaking out as each senior experienced what it was like to fly. That trip showcases the breadth of experience one can have participating in a Eugene Rec activity. This guide is your key for finding the right community for you this winter and spring. Who

“We are a foster family and use the scholarships for our kids. Our 16-year-old started at the pool at 13 with little confidence. He worked his way up to lifeguard training, being hired as a lifeguard and is in his second year of varsity water polo. His success story is incredible and a big part is due to his access to the pool. Thank you!” To support scholarships visit GetRec.org/recdonate

The City is committed to supporting the Americans with Disabilities Act. The following services are available with advance notice. Some requests may take up to two weeks to secure. Inclusion Services help identify accommodations that can be made to ensure Recreation programs are accessible to, and usable by all people, including those with disabilities. See page 6.

Large Print and Digital Recordings can be provided with advance notice. Five or fewer large print copies can be provided upon request.

Readers are available by phone or in person. A staff person will read the requested sections of publications for you. Sign Language interpretation is available for classes or presentations with advance notice.

Policies Minimum Class Requirements In order to recover program costs, a minimum number of participants are required. Please register early. Classes and activities will be cancelled between two and five days prior to the activity start date if the minimum number of participants have not registered. If you register for an activity that cancels due to low enrollment, staff will notify you and issue a refund. For more about the withdrawal/refund policy, see below.

Withdrawal/Refund Policy

Withdrawals from recreation activities are subject to a withdrawal fee. A withdrawal fee of $10 will be charged for each registration under $100. A withdrawal fee of $25 will be charged for each registration $100 and higher. A refund will be issued minus the withdrawal fee when requested at least seven (7) or more calendar days prior to the first activity meeting.

When a refund is requested six (6) or fewer calendar days prior to the first activity meeting or once a class or activity has started, a refund shall be issued only if:

• You move out of town. • You are medically unable to participate. • Department action requires cancellation of the activity (no withdrawal fee will be charged). Refunds will be prorated for classes already attended.

No refund will be issued if you fail to show up for a registered activity, class or trip. No refund will be given for athletic

league fees and trips that require prepayment of advanced reservation tickets or admission fees. Some activities require a non-refundable registration fee.

Release from Liability Agreement

With the exception of specific trips, City of Eugene Recreation Services does not provide medical insurance coverage for its participants. In consideration of the right to participate, each participant must acknowledge there are risks inherent in any kind of activity, and must agree to assume those risks on his/her own behalf, releasing and holding harmless the City, its officers or agents from all claims for injury or losses suffered from participation. An additional Release from Liability Agreement, signed by the participant or guardian, may be required for participation in some activities.

Photographs, videos and audios of participants in Recreation Services programs may be used by the City of Eugene in any medium (e.g., print publications, Internet, etc.) for publicity purposes, without compensation or permission.

Registration and/or payment of any registration fee shall be deemed an admission of agreement to the terms stated above.
