ChildrenA message to parents... We require, for most programs, that children are the required age, as of the date of the first class. All age requirements are set to benefit the child and make instruction more consistent for the program instructor. In some instances, the requirements have been set for the child’s safety. Registration by Internet or phone will be accepted if the child is the appropriate age at the time of registration. If your child does not meet the age requirements by the start of class, please register by fax, mail-in or in person. The registration deadline for all activities is two weeks prior to the start of class, unless otherwise noted.

Due to the strenuous nature of some activities, the City encourages each participant to consult his/her physician concerning fitness to participate in the program. The participant consents to emergency treatment. The participant also consents to the City’s use of any photographs taken or videotapes made of the program. If participant is a minor, the parent/guardian approves the minor’s participation in the program and agrees to the terms of this Program Usability Waiver on behalf of the minor and the parent/guardian. Neither the instructor nor any of the staff are responsible for children prior to or after the scheduled programs.
