Please check our website for additional programs or call the Department for any updated programs. Due to facility uses, programs may be subject to changes in times and/or locations. Please verify with the Department upon registering. We attempt to notify you as early as possible with any program change. If we fail to reach you, please accept our apology for any inconvenience caused. Please register for classes in advance. Waiting until the last minute may cause a class to cancel. Classes may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Unless otherwise noted or notified by an instructor/program supervisor, classes/programs may be held on holidays.

LATE REGISTRATION FEES: A $10 late fee will be imposed on any program registrations coming in after the designated deadline. Any late registrations coming in beyond two weeks after the registration deadline will be assessed $20 plus any additional cost associated with ordering equipment or supplies.
Cancellations/Postponements of Programs Every once in a while we think we have a great program idea or an instructor has proposed a great program; but the enrollment is insufficient. Staff looks at postponing the program (time to be determined) to see if there is evidence that we think we can get the program to make through other means; and canceling as a last resort. When we cancel, we do our best to notify participants and issue a refund.
Inclement Weather Policy: At this time, the King George County Parks and Recreation Department follows the King George County Schools schedule for programs offered in the schools during school hours.

Refunds Full refunds are issued in the event a program cancels; or if the Department is notified prior to the program starting and where no costs are incurred. Where costs were incurred for deposits, apparel, equipment or any other program related expenses; those costs will be deducted from the refund. No cash refunds will be given. Refunds generally take two to four weeks. Refunds are not issued after programs begin or for unattended classes. Unusual circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to being credited for unused funds.
Program Evaluations Program evaluations will be randomly given to participants or their parents. Evaluations are issued to gauge how programs are received, the instruction or coaching, an assessment on the registration process from the time you get registration form to making payment and our reflection on you, the facilities we use and your ideas on what we can do to better serve you whether it is in program offerings, staffing or department operations.

Health and Wellness
Like most of our other programs, we take pleasure in offering programs that promote a healthier lifestyle and that are taught by certified instructors.
Tai Chi Tai Chi is an optimal exercise for all ages. It involves movements of the entire body without the risk of injury. Done in coordination with one’s concentration and breathing, these movements release tension through the body. The gently flowing progress of movements in tai chi cultivates whole-body health. A study by the Arthritis Foundation supports many benefits of tai chi, such as reduction of pain and inflammation, lowered blood pressure, improved immune function and improved balance and flexibility. This weekly tai chi exercise class will teach simple forms that are easy to learn, but challenging to master. Betty Doran and Linda Kline will lead the weekly sessions. ****$25 for students that know the entire Health Form & $50 for all others including new students; Drop-ins are $5 per class**** Location: Citizens Center
