Why a waiver?

What happens if my children misbehave during a program?

Participants that misbehave or show unbecoming conduct will be removed from the program without a refund.

I want to wait to see if a program will start or fill up, is this a good idea?

No don't wait register now! Signing up as soon as possible assures your place in the program(s) of your choice and allows us to finalize program details.

Min/Max- What does it mean?

For each program at the Park District, there is a minimum number of registrations needed before a class can be offered. Most instructors are paid an hourly rate, not per student. If enough people do not register to pay an instructor, the Park District loses money- Your Money. But why a maximum? The more participants, the less individualized attention provided. We like to keep an appropriate student/instructor ratio to insure you get what you paid for - a high quality program.
