Register Early
Low enrollment is the number one cause of cancelled
programs and trips. Registration is taken on a first-comefirst-served basis. We reserve the right to cancel any trip,
program, or activity due to insufficient registration. If a
class/trip does not have sufficient registration one week
prior to the beginning of the program it will be cancelled.
Don’t wait until the last minute to register!
Cancellation of a Program
Weather or other conditions may force us to cancel
or postpone a program. The Bureau will make every
effort to make the decision as early as possible. Once
a decision has been made the information will be
available through www.RainedOut.com. As a general
rule, if Abington School District has closed the schools,
Abington Parks and Recreation programs will also be
cancelled. www.RainedOut.com delivers timely alerts
directly to your mobile phone as SMS text messages or
to your email account. You will not receive any spam
or unsolicited content - all messages will be sent from

you will only be notified if there is a problem with your

New York City Day Trip
Annapolis Day Trip
Enjoy a day of shopping or sight-seeing
without the hassle of driving or parking. We
will be traveling by bus to New York City
where you will have the option of two drop
off points: The Theatre District (W. 48th
Street), or The Metropolitan Museum of Art
(E. 82nd Street). There will be one pick up
point, The Paramount Plaza (between 50th
and 51st Streets on Broadway).
Let us drive you to and from Annapolis where all roads
lead to the water and a nautical heritage that runs as deep
as the Chesapeake Bay is wide. Founded as Anne Arundel
Town in 1649, Annapolis became the capital of Maryland
in 1695 and the nation’s first peacetime capital in 1783.
Today, Annapolis boasts more
18th-century brick buildings than
any other city in the country and the
oldest State House in continuous
legislative use in the nation. A
Museum without Walls, Annapolis
is a lively, upbeat, contemporary
city where four centuries of
architecture embraces 21st-century
living. The homes of Maryland’s
four signers of the Declaration of
Independence still stand, and three
of them are open to the public. If
one-of-a-kind boutiques, galleries,
and specialty shops are on your list, stroll through the
Historic District where Maryland Avenue, State Circle,
Main and West Streets have earned worldwide reputations
as shopping hot spots.
We will leave from the main parking lot
of Alverthorpe Park at 8:00 AM (sharp) and travel non-stop
to New York. We will leave New York at 6:00 PM from the
Paramount Plaza and return to the park around 8:30 PM.
