All registration forms received on or after November 28 will be randomly processed on a daily basis. Non-resident registration begins December 5. 2. If a program chosen has an opening available, your registration is processed and a receipt confirmation will be mailed within approximately 5 working days. 3. If programs chosen have reached maximum enrollment, your name will be placed on a waiting list, and you will be notified. Every attempt is made to accommodate the persons on these lists. Please be sure to read through the receipt message carefully for an explanation of your registration status. Proof of Residence Non-Resident Fee Policies set forth by the Westmont Park District Board of Commissioners define a resident as anyone living within the boundary of the Westmont Park District. Anyone working or operating a business within the Park District boundaries, but living outside the boundaries shall not be considered a resident. We don’t always recognize our neighbors; from time to time, we may ask to see proof of residence when you register for programs in person. All new residents must show proof of residency. Part of the cost of programs is assumed with tax dollars. Therefore, those who are not residents of the Westmont Park District will be assessed a non-resident fee. Non-residents pay an additional 50% per program. Preschool, Day Camp and Leagues may have different non-resident fee structures. See program for details. Accident Policy The Westmont Park District does not provide medical insurance coverage for injuries suffered while participating in Park District programs, or while using park facilities. The Park District therefore, can assume no responsibility for personal injury while participating in recreation programs or while using park facilities. Online registration information can be found at www.wpd4fun.org Registration Format Primary focus is on mail-in registration with a daily lottery system. After a two week period, over the counter registration will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Accessibility The Westmont Park District is committed to accessibility for all individuals with disabilities and strives to comply with the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act by providing reasonable accommodation for all individuals. Please advise the Westmont Park District of any special assistance or accommodation required to participate in programs. 5HVLGHQWVPD\PDLOLQRU drop off registration forms now through November 27 5DQGRPSURFHVVLQJRIWKHVH registrations begins November 28 1RQUHVLGHQWZDONLQ registration begins December 5 Satisfaction Guaranteed Refund Policy A full refund will be issued if you are dissatisfied after the 1st class with the program or the program is cancelled by the park district.

This written refund request form will help us improve the service we provide.

A prorated withdrawal refund will be made for participants who decide, for whatever personal reason (including injury or illness), that an ongoing program is not right for them. The prorated refund will be based on the number of classes that have occurred at the time the Refund Request form is received by the park district. The Superintendant of Recreation will consider exceptions to this policy due to other extenuating circumstances. The Refund policy excludes trip tickets, preschool and camp deposits and adult sports leagues. Please allow two weeks to receive your refund check in the mail. >LZ[TVU[7HYR+PZ[YPJ[^^^^WKM\UVYN WESTMONT PARK DISTRICT REGISTRATION FORM Home Phone ___________________________________Cell Phone ________________________________ Family Last Name ________________________________________________________________________ Register by Mail Westmont Park District ,HZ[9PJOTVUK:[YLL[ >LZ[TVU[03 Address (street) __________________________________________________________________________ Register by Fax City ____________________________________________________________ Zip ___________________ Business Phone/Name _____________________________________________________________________ Register Online ^^^^WKM\UVYN Emergency Phone/Name ___________________________________________________________________ Make checks payable to E-Mail Address __________________________________________________________________________ If you or a family member require special assistance in participating emotionally and/or physically any of our programs, check the box at the left.

EMERGENCY TREATMENT PERMISSION: I understand that a minor may not be treated, even in an emergency situation, except when, in the opinion of the attending physician, life is in the balance. Consent of a parent or legal guardian is necessary for unmarried minors under 18. Written consent is required for all other treatment. Accordingly, as a parent and/or legal guardian, I do herewith authorize the treatment of the minor enrolling in this program in the event of a medical emergency. ACKNOWLEDGMENT: I have read and fully understand Registration Policies, the “Release and Hold Harmless Agreement”, and the “Emergency Treatment Permission”. This release and medical authorization form is complete and signed of my own free will even though I understand it is a requirement for participation in this program. By signing this form I understand that trips, preschool, summer camps, and adult athletic deposits are non-refundable. I have read and understand all program restrictions. There will be a $20 service fee for all returned checks.
