Frequently Asked Questions Q. What is your refund/cancellation policy? A. If programs are canceled by San Anselmo Recreation due to State or County COVID-19 guidelines, you will receive a full refund. If you register for a program and would like to request a refund, you must request it at least 10 business days before the start of the program. Each program registered for will incur a refund processing fee of $25 (per participant).

Q. My child is on the waitlist, will they get in? A. We cannot make any guarantees regarding waitlisted participants, however, we will do our best to offer spots to as many children as possible. Open spots are filled in order from the waitlist depending on registration date and time.

Q. Will my child have to wear a mask in your programs? A. Masking is required of all participants ages 2 and older while indoors, but remains optional for outdoor programs. This follows current CDC, State, and County guidelines. All staff will continue masking indoors and outdoors. This policy is subject to change.

Q. What cleaning and safety protocols are the camps and programs following? A. All participants and instructors will be required to wear masks while indoors. Masks are not required outdoors for participants, but instructors and staff are still required to wear masks at all times (both indoors and outdoors). Handwashing and equipment sanitization is also required. Please note safety protocols are subject to change based on state and county protocols.

The State of California and Marin County have provided guidelines for safely reopening youth activity programs as part of its response to the COVID-19 emergency. As the Town of San Anselmo works to develop and operate its recreation programs in compliance with these guidelines, some programs may be restructured or cancelled. The Department will implement mask wearing indoors in all of our programs. Please check the San Anselmo Recreation Department website (https://www.townofsananselmo.org/305/ Recreation) for the most up-to-date information about our programs. Thank you!

ROBSON AFTER CARE K-5th This is an afterschool program where your kids will meet new friends, have fun, engage in well rounded activities, and most of all be in a safe environment. We also focus on cultivating a sense of community between our kids and staff everyday! HOW WE WORK: Robson After Care (RAC) operates out of the Robson-Harrington House located at 237 Crescent Road. Participants from Wade Thomas Elementary School are picked up on campus by our staff and walked up to the house. Participants from all other schools are welcome, but must be dropped off at Robson. We are open until 6:00pm daily and follow the Ross Valley School District calendar. RAC staff will offer extended care for Kindergarten early-release or super minimum days. WHAT WE DO: Having nearly three acres of Robson-Harrington property at our disposal, we like to stay outdoors whenever weather permits. Playing kickball, tag, and imagination games are just some of the activities our kids love - but art projects and books are always on hand for those looking for more quiet activities. FEES & REGISTRATION: Please email robsonaftercare@townofsananselmo.org to inquire about availability and request a registration packet.

CHILDREN FOR CHANGE: INSPIRING COMMUNITY LEADERS Ages 8-13

Instructor: Eric Brandt Join like-minded young people who are passionate about big issues and inspired to make a change in the world! This enrichment program will energize students to see themselves as changemakers and take action that makes a real difference. Participants will play interactive games, meet with field experts (elected officials, non-profit leaders, scientists, filmmakers, and more), and participate in powerful simulations as they learn about global issues and encourage action in their own community.

The program incorporates all the great elements of Children for Change, a service-learning club that grew up in the Ross Valley School District. Children for Change students learn about an issue (such as climate change, social justice, homelessness or the environment) in a fun and engaging way and then inspire others to create change in their community through advocacy, youth philanthropy and service work. In addition to the after-school class, participants’ families will have access to join in a Change for Good Weekend - a weekend full of service opportunities geared towards young families. Added bonus - a Children for Change t-shirt for each participant! Read more about Children for Change’s work on their website. No class 10/11. Location: Isabel Cook Community Center, Vista Room Mon

JUNIOR TENNIS Ages: 5-11

Instructor: Tennis in Marin

San Anselmo Recreation offers Junior Tennis for kids between the ages of 5-11. Tennis in Marin professional coaches in conjunction with the USTA have now been using a system where different colored balls are used at corresponding age levels to allow more of a natural progression toward learning the sport of tennis. These new changes have allowed kids to rally and play real tennis points at an early age. When kids are successful, they are having fun, and when they are having fun, they are usually successful. It works both ways.
