How to Register for a Recreation Program

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY!

Complete the registration form. Be sure to include the program name. Write out a check, payable to the Berlin Recreation & Parks Department, for the registration fee and send it all in to the Berlin Recreation & Parks Department, First Avenue, Berlin, NH 03570.

Many programs have a limited registration. Registrations are accepted on a “First Come — First Serve” basis. Getting your check in by the deadline date does not guarantee your registration, as walk in registrations are going on at the same time. Please call to confirm your information, form, and payment was received and that there was a program spot available.

PROGRAM CANCELLATIONS

Daytime Activities: Programs may be canceled-due to inclement weather. A decision regarding cancellation will be made one hour prior to the start of a program. If deteriorating conditions force on-site cancellations, a representative will be onsite to notify attendees. The representative will only be on site for 15 minutes later than the start time of a program. Please plan accordingly for your children’s rides.

Evening Events: Cancellation for evening activities will not be made until at least 4 pm to allow for changing weather conditions. Whenever possible we will leave a message on our answering machine, please call 752-2010.

Low Enrollment: Most programs have a minimum number of participants needed in order for the program to run. If the minimum number of participants is not met, the class may be cancelled. Notification of a cancelled program will be provided by our office.


PROGRAM TIMES

Please insure that you and/or your children are on time for programs. Please do not arrive any earlier than 15 minutes before a start time.

Program staff will wait 15 minutes and no longer following the finish time of a program to assist children waiting for rides. Children who walk to and from programs will be directed to walk home at the end of the program.
