General Class Policy

All classes are held at the Community Center unless indicated otherwise.  Please note carefully the date and time of your class.    We will notify you if your class is canceled or changed, so it is very important that we have a daytime phone number.  Please make sure your schedule will permit you to take a class before registering.  We cannot issue refunds unless the Recreation Department cancels or changes the advertised schedule of a class.  We will re-schedule all classes that the Recreation Department cancels; however, we cannot re-schedule classes for students who miss classes. 

 

Age Specifications

Age restrictions have been placed on each program for the benefit of the students enrolled as well as the instructor.   Any child not within the age specifications set for any class will be immediately removed, without refund.

 

*Residency*

The Edgewater Recreation Department is a municipally run organization.  Our first priority is to the residents of Edgewater and Leonia, as we share a school system.    Any individual wishing to participate in any activity (@ the resident rate) MUST PROVE THEIR RESIDENCY!  When registering ALL PARTICIPANTS will be required to show:

*2 proofs of residency:  one of which being parents/guardians Photo Identification, as well as a birth certificate/passport to prove age.  

Photocopies must be brought to registration; no copies will be made at registration!!

Anyone who falsifies an application will be removed immediately from the activity, without refund and will incur a $250 fine that must be paid before registering for any other activities.   

No registrations will be processed or accepted without full payment.

Late registrations will only be permitted if there is space available in the program.  

 

Registration

Recreation Registration will be conducted in person only!    Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.  No Registration forms will be accepted without payment, completed application, photocopies of proof or age and residency, or fully completed Medical Form. 

Once a class has reached its maximum enrollment, that class will be closed; no further registration will be permitted.

Private Camps maintain their own registration and can be done online, via phone, or by mail: check brochures carefully for instructions.
