The Recreation Department is committed to providing quality
programs and activities in partnership with other groups and
organizations that will aid in the pursuit of a full, balanced and
meaningful lifestyle. Providing our youth with safe, rewarding
activities and social encounters will lead to positive lifestyle
choices and the building of a positive self-image. For younger
adults, leisure activities will be targeted at bringing people
together and encouraging healthier decisions. Exercise and
social programs for our senior population will not only hinder
the effects of aging but will aid in keeping our citizens
physically and mentally agile.

Volunteers play an immense role in assisting the Recreation
Department. Without their support, it would be impossible to
deliver quality programs and other services. There are literally
dozens and dozens of people that donate their time each year
to assisting in some way. The Recreation Department would
especially like to recognize those individuals for contributing so
much of their free time to make our programs successful.
The Recreation Department would especially like to thank the
sponsors who helped make this publication possible…..

..100 Things to Do in Waldoboro*
Registration - Registrations are accepted on a first come-first serve basis. A
completed registration form and pre-payment (cash, check or money order
only) is required for all programs. Registration forms may be obtained at the
Recreation Department at the Town Office Mon-Fri 8:30am to 5:00pm or
online at www.waldoboromaine.org. Click on Departments, then Recreation,
then Programs. Call the Recreation Department with any questions at 8325369. Each program has a specific registration policy that participants must
adhere to. Priority will be given to Waldoboro residents for programs with
limited space. If a participant wishes to register for a program after a designated registration deadline, the program director will determine if and how to
place that participant. Participation in a program is not guaranteed until the
entire registration fee has been received. If a registration fee has not been
paid in full by the designated deadline, we reserve the right to offer that spot
to the next person on the wait list. Non-Residents are subject to a $10.00

Late Sign-Up (Team Sports) - Team sports programs require a great deal of
preparation prior to the beginning of each season. Signing up on time allows
us to determine the correct number of teams, obtain adequate uniforms,
identify coaches, create schedules and assess athletes for appropriate placement. Late sign-ups jeopardize the quality of service that we aim to provide.
Late registrations are subject to a $10.00 late fee. Since teams and rosters
are assigned at the close of registration, anyone signing up late will be placed
on a waiting list if there is no open spot. If a spot opens up during the season,
the applicant will be placed. The registration fee will not be pro-rated. If room
is not available, the registration fee will be refunded in full.
Cancellations or Postponements - To check to see if a program is postponed
or cancelled due to inclement weather, participants can call the office at 8325369 or check our website at www.waldoboromaine.org.
Refunds - If we cancel a program, class or special event, we will refund 100%
of registration fee. If you withdraw at least 24 hours prior to the start of a
workshop, clinic, or sports program, you will be charged a $5.00 processing
fee and be refunded the remaining balance. If you withdraw less than 24
hours prior to the start of or after attending the first session/practice of a
seasonal program, you will be refunded 50% of the registration fee. After the
second day of participation, no refunds will be given. Allow 2-3 weeks for
processing.
Transportation - Parents/guardians are responsible for making arrangements
to drop-off and pick-up their own children in a timely manner. Program participants under the age of 18 may not be transported by staff or volunteers
including coaches without written permission.
Youth Sports Team Picks - Coaches will pick teams at a designated time prior
to the sport season. (Some sports require assessment of athletes, which will
continue to take place prior to picking teams.) Parents have the choice of
coaching their own child. The participants will be chosen through a selection
process. Special requests for team placements are not guaranteed. Participants will not be allowed to switch teams during the season unless approved
by the Recreation Department staff.
Participants Advancing to a Higher Level - A participant may be placed on a
higher division based on skill assessment and approval from the coaches and
recreation staff. Program needs, such as number of participants needed to
play, may require moving participants to a higher or lower division.
Conduct - We expect that anyone involved in a Waldoboro Recreation Program will conduct themselves with courtesy and respect. Coaches, participants and parents should work together to provide the best possible experience and communicate any concerns. Coaches should be approached before
or after a practice or game, not during. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If it is determined that a player or coach has been disruptive, they may
be removed from practice or a game. Serious infractions may lead to removal
from the program. Recreation staff will make that decision. If it is determined
that a parent has been disruptive or violates the parents code of conduct,
they will be asked to leave the practice or game immediately.
*For the complete list, logon on to www.waldoboromaine.org. This list
was compiled by the Planning and Development Department with the
generous assistance from Waldoboro residents. If you have any additional suggestions please contact the Development Department at
