Danville Activity Guide - 2016 Spring by Town of Danville

Danville Recreation, Arts and Community Services Activity Guide | Spring 2016

Step into

Spring..

www.danville.ca.gov | For Spring registration dates, refer to page 2. Learn more about Recreation Services programs and events at the 7th Annual Recreation Expo. See page 3 for details.

Step into Spring… The National Park and Recreation Association has challenged Park and Recreation agencies to lead their communities to healthier lifestyles. The Town of Danville has accepted the challenge and encourages you to step into spring by getting out and walking in our parks. Walking is one of the easiest ways to add more physical activity to your life at any age. Just 30 minutes a day can help you stay healthy and reduce the risk of conditions such as depression, heart disease, obesity and osteoporosis. Short, but frequent walks in nature are also said to improve mental health and even reduce stress! Another benefit is that walking in a park is free and easily accessible in Danville. You don’t need fancy clothes or gadgets to walk; you just need some comfortable shoes and maybe a bottle of water. Make a plan by putting walks on your calendar to ensure you have time. Walking can also be a social activity when you bring one friend or seven. Mix up the scenery and walk at a different park each week. The Town has plenty to choose from such as Osage Station, Sycamore Valley, Diablo Vista, Hap Magee and Oak Hill Parks.

SWIMMING LEVELS Swim Level

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Where can I take swim lessons? The Town of Danville offers its Learn to Swim Program at two locations: Monte Vista Community Pool at 3131 Stone Valley Road, and San Ramon Valley High School Pool at 501 Danville Blvd. When do I register? Online registration for incorporated Danville residents only will be available Tuesday, February 16, 8:30 am. Open registration begins Wednesday, February 17, 8:30 am. How do I register? Online: Register online by setting up and logging into your account at www.danvillerecguide.com. We encourage you to set up your account prior to the registration date. This will ensure that you receive the lessons you want more quickly. For assistance, call (925) 314-3400. Mail-In: Danville Community Center, Attn: Class Registrations, 420 Front Street, Danville, CA 94526 How do I select my child's class level? Read the class descriptions in the order listed. Register your child for the first class level that describes skills that s/he has not yet mastered. Call 314-3400 for additional assistance. Will classes be held in the rain? Generally, classes will be held during inclement weather. However, the pool will be closed and classes cancelled if there is lightning. What happens if my child passes the class, but I registered him for the same level next session? If there is space available, your child will be transferred to the correct level. Is it possible to make up a class that my child missed due to illness or vacation? Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate class make-ups. Can I request a specific teacher? You can make a request for a specific instructor, but realize that our swim instructors rotate between different pools, class levels and times. Due to the large number of classes we offer, we cannot guarantee we can meet your request, but we will try our best. I am an adult. Can I take lessons? Yes! We offer private adult swim lessons at various times throughout the day at Monte Vista Community Pool. See page 13.

In this one-day workshop you will learn how to safely work with heat sources and equipment, paints, medium, collage materials, fusing layers, tools, priming appropriate substrate, scraping, pastel sticks, incision and more.

RESIDENCY STATUS CLARIFICATION

COURSE CANCELLATION

The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments. Because of this, those program participants and individuals reserving Town facilities who live outside of Danville pay an additional non-resident charge. If you have any questions about this information, call 314-3400.

When registration falls below the minimum enrollment required, it may be necessary to cancel a class or program. At the time of cancellation, the Town will initiate a full refund. Check refunds may take 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 weeks.

PHOTO/VIDEO LIABILITY DISCLOSURE Photographs and video may be taken of participants during a class or program, and these photographs and video may be used for Town of Danville publicity purposes.

RAINOUTS AND CLASS MAKE-UPS Whenever possible, make-ups will be given on those occasions when inclement weather or instructor illness requires that a class be cancelled. See instructor at next scheduled meeting for make-up date.

Those living outside the Danville Town limits include residents of the communities of Alamo and Diablo, and Alamo Creek, Bettencourt Ranch, Blackhawk, Bryan Ranch, Monterosso, Shadow Creek and Whitegate housing developments.

Special Notice to Alamo Residents living in the Alamo County Service Area R-7A: all R-7A residents are eligible to register for Town-sponsored programs scheduled at Hap Magee Ranch Park during the resident registration period. Non-resident fees still apply for these classes and activities. Call 314-3400 for more information.

No refunds (whole or partial) can be given for classes missed by the student.

WAITLISTS Waitlists will be created once a class has reached maximum enrollment. If space becomes available, you will be called.

WITHDRAWALS (CREDITS/REFUNDS) Requests for withdrawal will be honored if requested no later than five business days prior to the first day of the class. There will be a $5 processing fee assessed for each activity withdrawal. Requests made less than five business days prior to the first day of class must be submitted in writing and will be considered on an individual basis. A $20 processing fee will be charged for processing refunds made by check. We do not provide cash refunds.
