IMPORTANT General Program Information: Please Read.The programs that are listed in this Program Guide are the programs that we had planned by the publication due date. Please check our 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 deadline. Any late registrations coming in beyond two weeks after 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 Parks and Recreation Department follows the King George County Schools schedule for programs offered in the schools during school hours. Programs offered at other locations are dealt with on a case by case basis.

Insufficient Funds - Checks returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a $35 fee by the Treasurer’s Office and the check-writer’s name will be forwarded to our Department. The Department will no longer be able to accept checks from said check-writer.

Refunds Full refunds are issued in the event a program cancels; or if the Department is notified prior to the program starting and where no costs are incurred. Where costs were incurred for deposits, apparel, equipment or any other program related expenses; those costs will be deducted from the refund. No cash refunds will be given. Refunds generally take two to four weeks. Refunds are not issued after programs begin or for unattended classes. Unusual circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to being credited for unused funds.

Cancellations/Postponements of ProgramsEvery 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 EvaluationsProgram 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.
