website for additional programs or call the Department for any
updated programs.
Due to facility uses, programs may be subject to changes in times
and/or locations. Please verify with the Department upon registering.
We attempt to notify you as early as possible with any program
change. If we fail to reach you, please accept our apology for any
inconvenience caused.
Please register for classes in advance. Waiting until the last minute
may cause a class to cancel. Classes may be cancelled due to
insufficient enrollment. Unless otherwise noted or notified by an
instructor/program supervisor, classes/programs may be held on
holidays.
LATE REGISTRATION FEES: A $10 late fee will be imposed
on any program registrations coming in after the designated

the registration deadline will be assessed $20 plus any additional
cost associated with ordering equipment or supplies.
Inclement Weather Policy: At this time, the King George County

generally take two to four weeks. Refunds are not issued after
programs begin or for unattended classes. Unusual circumstances

Cancellations/Postponements of Programs
Every once in a while we think we have a great program idea or
an instructor has proposed a great program; but the enrollment
is insufficient. Staff looks at postponing the program (time to be
determined) to see if there is evidence that we think we can get
the program to make through other means; and canceling as a last
resort. When we cancel, we do our best to notify participants and
issue a refund.
Program Evaluations
Program evaluations will be randomly given to participants or their
parents. Evaluations are issued to gauge how programs are received,
the instruction or coaching, an assessment on the registration process
from the time you get registration form to making payment and our
reflection on you, the facilities we use and your ideas on what we
can do to better serve you whether it is in program offerings, staffing
or department operations.
