Most classes have a limited availability and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, early registration is encouraged. Programs may be canceled due to insufficient registration. Please see page 7 for Day Camp and Tiny Tots registration information. Village residents are those who live within the boundaries of the incorporated Village of Croton-on-Hudson, and therefore pay taxes to the Village. The programs and facilities of the Recreation Department are also made available to those who reside within the Croton-Harmon School District yet outside the Village boundaries. In most cases, School District residents are required to pay a higher “non-resident” fee than Village residents; although they are given equal priority in the registration process. If there are still openings in certain programs after Village and School District residents have had an opportunity to register, the Department will consider non-resident applications, at a higher fee, on a per-program basis. For some programs, the mail-in registration form located in the back of this brochure can be used. When mailing in a registration form, please send separate checks for each program. Mail to: Croton Recreation Department, Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building, One Van Wyck Street, Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520. All checks or money orders should be made payable to: VILLAGE OF CROTON 2 We do not accept credit cards. Program fees will not be prorated. If you have any questions or concerns about our programs or facilities, please call our office at 271-3006.

Also, check out the Village’s website at www.crotononhudson-ny.gov HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM BE ELIMINATED Nothing eliminates a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to register. There is a point when a program must be canceled or modified if there is insufficient registration. All programs require a high level of coordination, often including facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment, and purchasing of supplies. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY! REFUND POLICY The Recreation Department does not issue refunds unless a program has been canceled due to insufficient registration. Registrants assume full responsibility for any changes in their personal life, which may affect their ability to participate. In rare cases, a participant may encounter an unforeseeable, and unavoidable situation that they feel may warrant a refund of fees paid. These situations will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Recreation Supervisor, who will then make a refund determination. No refunds will be made after the start of the first class or session. • All claims for refunds for classes must be requested in writing. • A $15.00 processing fee will be retained by the Village in all cases that refunds, partial refunds or program section transfers are granted. • There is an additional charge of $20.00 on all returned checks. • REFUNDS FOR DAY CAMP AND TINY TOTS WILL ONLY BE MADE IF THE SPACE CAN BE FILLED.
