What is the cancellation and refund policy?

When can I register?

Full refunds will be granted for any registrations cancelled by the participant two weeks prior to the first day of the program. If the program you have registered for is cancelled, a full refund will be issued. Partial refunds may be issued for programs cancelled due to weather that you are unable to attend due to illness or injury. (To process, you must notify RPD of your situation before the program ends). These regulations apply to recreational and instructional programs throughout the Park District. They do not apply to daily admissions, memberships, permits, leagues and rentals. These services have specific policies as part of the information provided to the participant at the point of registration. Please note: Any refunds can be applied to your account for future use, or they must be provided in the form of payment in which they were received. Any refunds in cash over $25.00 originally paid in cash will receive a check mailed within 2 weeks of the request to the home address on file. Any refunds under the amount of $10.00 will be applied to your household for future use. Recreation Satisfaction Guaranteed! Our goal is to provide our customers and citizens with recreational programs, events, and activities of the highest quality. When a customer is not satisfied, we sincerely request their comments, suggestions, or ideas for improvements. If a customer is not completely satisfied with their program, event, or activity that RPD directly provides, the customer may tell us and we will arrange a refund as requested.

To help ensure a spot, register for your programs early. Registration is accepted one week prior to the start date, unless otherwise noted. Late registrations are accepted on a case-by-case basis by the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager. For more information, contact Customer Service at 815-987-8800 or visit one of our customer service locations; we will arrange a refund as requested.

What is a wait list? Some programs are very popular, and fill quickly. You may opt to register for a filled program and be placed on the waiting list. This means that in the event that a spot becomes available, you may be enrolled in the program. To be placed on a waiting list, the program registration process must be fully completed, including payment. Your position on the waiting list is based upon when the registration is processed by RPD. If RPD cannot accommodate your enrollment by the second meeting of the class, your registration fee will be refunded in full. All waiting lists have a limited number of spots, so it is possible that the waiting list may already be filled at the time you attempt to register.

TITLE VI As the Rockford Park District has received financial assistance in the form of Land and Water Conservation assistance, the US Department of the Interior, under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, or disability. If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination in any program, activity, or facility, or you desire further information regarding Title VI, please write to: Office for Equal Opportunity; US Department of the Interior; Washington, DC, 20240

What is your age policy for programs? Unless otherwise noted, recreation programs require participants to reach the minimum age by January 1, and not reach the maximum age before the conclusion of the program. Lesson programs require that participants be within the age limits of the class by the first day of the program. Any accommodations made outside of these requirements must be approved by the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager.

Can I transfer from one program to another? Transfers are allowed up until the beginning of the first class. Transfers after a program has started must be requested through the manager of the specific program. If the transfer is to a higher priced program, the additional fee must be paid prior to the transfer. If the transfer is to a lower priced program, a credit will be issued to the household.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Looking for financial assistance or additional help to pay for programs? The Rockford Park District and partners have a variety of ways to help you and your family enjoy our programs and facilities.

Option #1 - Fun For All Kids Program No child or person with a disability should be denied access to learning an important ability, such as swimming, or developing skills for a lifetime of enjoyment, due to their inability to pay. The Rockford Park District offers a fee assistance program called Fun For All Kids (FFAK). Qualified applicants can receive up to 75% off registration fees for Rockford Park District programs. The 2014 scholarship funds will run from February 3, 2014 through the end of the year.

NOTE: Daily admissions, private lessons, and season passes are NOT available through Fun for All Kids. If you would like to apply or re-apply for assistance, please print and complete the FFAK application located online at www.rockfordparkdistrict.org, or pick up an application at a Customer Service location. A Spanish-speaking customer service representative is available at the Webbs Norman Center Customer Service location.

Option #2 - EZ Pay Rockford Park District offers customers the budget-friendly convenience of an automated payment plan called “EZ Pay,” allowing program and activity fee payments to be spread out. For this “EZ Pay” option, you must register in person at either Customer Service location, which will allow the Park District to withdraw regular payments from a bank account and/or credit card; a down payment of at least $5.00 per program session is required at registration, and program fees must be $100 or more to qualify for the payment plan. Customer Service locations are: Webbs Norman Center, 401 S. Main St., Rockford, and Carlson Ice Arena, 4150 N. Perryville Road (Riverside and Perryville), Loves Park.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Rockford Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for this program/activity must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or adequately skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or has recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity. WARNING OF RISK Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning, and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. All hazards and dangers cannot be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, certain risks, dangers and injuries may exist due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and other risks inherent to the particular activity. In this regard, it is impossible for the Rockford Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Learn To Swim–Rolling Green Elementary School

Since we can’t seem to get Shelbert the Sea Turtle out of the water, we thought we would invite you to join him in the pool! Shelbert loves the water, and wants his friends to be just as comfortable in his natural habitat. Learn the fundamentals of swimming and ultimately, how to swim by yourself. Shelbert’s Swim Academy classes are taught in the main pool in at least three feet of water. On the first day of class, students are placed in the most appropriate of five levels. Each level has a specific set of objectives to achieve before moving to the next level. Prerequisite: Children must be able to enter the water and participate on their own. LEVELS 1-4 INCLUDE: • Water exploration • Stroke readiness • Primary skills • Stroke development

LEVEL 5 INCLUDES: • Emphasize on stroke refinement • Preparation for higher levels of swimming
