general info SUMMER SESSION
TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023
— to
SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 2023
STATUTORY HOLIDAYS
Group programs are not scheduled to take place on statutory holidays or weekends when a statutory holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, and program fees have been calculated accordingly. Exceptions include group fitness classes. Holiday weekend schedules and hours will be posted online at arbutusclub.com.
CLUB COACHING POLICY
The use of professional instructors or coaches from outside the Club is not permitted. Only those who have been contracted by the Club may teach on Club premises.
PROGRAM FEES
All program and related fees will be billed to your member account. Regular weekly programs will be billed monthly for the duration of the program. Workshops and short-term activities will be billed in the month they occur.
ACTIVITY & SPORT ASSOCIATION FEES
Some program areas are required to have members register with their provincial sport governing association for the purpose of insurance coverage to participate in tournaments and events. These fees may be billed seasonally or yearly and are listed on the program pages for which they apply. Some areas also have activity fees, billed seasonally or yearly, and are used to pay for special equipment, gifts, awards, seasonal parties, events, and other program enhancements.
UNDERAGE REGISTRATION POLICY
Children under age for a specific program must receive approval from the Coordinator/Director of that program before registering. If permission is given, underage participants must register with the Recreation Services Desk directly so that we may bypass the established age restriction. Please note that receiving advanced approval does not guarantee a spot in the program.
PROGRAM APPROVALS
Some programs require approval from the Coordinator/Director of the activity area, prior to registering, to ensure participants are at a required level for the class. If a member is incorrectly registered for a class, the Coordinator/Director reserves the right to remove them and recommend another class more suitable for their age or skill level. If an alternative class is not available, the member will be removed from the class.
REGISTRATION WAITLISTS
During the initial days of each registration period, it is recommended to make use of the wait list feature if you do not secure your preferred program dates and times. As space becomes available for the program, waitlisted participants will automatically be registered and notified by email. If you no longer want a spot in the class, please remove yourself or your child from the waitlist, or from the class upon receipt of the notification. You may also contact the Registration Desk at registration@arbutusclub.com to cancel any classes or waitlists.
general info
MISSED/MAKE-UP CLASSES
If you miss a class for any reason, it is the decision of the Coordinator/Director of each activity area, as to whether they can accommodate a make-up lesson. Most activity areas do not offer this option as it is disruptive to participants registered and is challenging for staff to accommodate.
CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS
A parent/caregiver (16yrs+) must always accompany children under 8 years old while in the Club. You must drop off and pick up your child for all programs as children under 8 years of age will not be released from the program on their own.
ALLERGY AWARE
Recreation Services Staff are allergy aware and request that parents do not pack snacks for their children that contain common allergens, such as peanuts. If your child has an allergy, you would like us to be aware of, please contact the Recreation Services Desk and we will notify the instructor.
GUEST POLICY
Recreation programs and events are restricted to members only, unless otherwise noted. A limited number of guests may be permitted to attend 25 Year Club events, special youth events and various one-time workshops, if space permits before the event date.
PROGRAM FEEDBACK
We welcome your feedback about our programs, camps, services, and events at any time in person, by phone or by email. We also have an evaluation form available online at arbutusclub.com/services/recreation if you would like to complete it anonymously.
ACTIVITY COMMITTEES
The success of our activity areas is in large part due to the contributions made by volunteer Committee members. If you would like to participate in one of our Activity Committees, please fill out an application form available at Club Reception or email Craig Mercer at cmercer@arbutusclub.com.

FIGURE SKATING
The Figure Skating program is structured to accommodate all ages and ability levels. The program offers a broad spectrum for our skaters including:
⊲ Skate Canada Testing
⊲ Competitions
⊲ Concerts, Exhibitions and Simulations
⊲ Special Clinics and or Workshops
⊲ Harness, video work and analysis
JUNIOR ACHIEVERS (4+ YRS)
The Junior Achievers program encompasses 7 levels ranging from intermediate to advanced. Skaters progress from learning the basics of gliding, stroke and balance, both forward and backward, to techniques for edges and turns and then to spin, jump and creative movement. This program builds on basics taught previously in Learn to Skate. Skaters will be divided into groups according to ability and may choose to supplement these classes with private lessons.
**This program requires all skaters to be in figure skating attire including figure skates, gloves, and tight-fitting athletic clothing; hockey gear (including hockey gloves, knee, elbow, and shin pads) is not recommended as it restricts movement. Helmets are encouraged but not necessary dependent on skating level.
