Each Community Center maintains a Drop-In Recreation Policy during its hours of operation. Recreation staff will prepare a variety of games and activities for youth in attendance on any given day. Except for instances that are specifically noted, the following policy applies:

The drop-in program operates on a first-come, first serve basis. The Department is not responsible for maintaining a slot for any child on any particular date and permits youth to arrive at and depart from the program at their own volition and at unscheduled times.

The Department of Parks, Recreation, and Youth Programs is not responsible for providing care beyond basic supervision, nor is it responsible for monitoring attendance, arrival, or departure. Any records maintained (ie. participant information forms) are done so for basic safety, security and for evaluative purposes

There may be occasions when a child wishes to attend the program and we have met our maximum number for the day. In this case, attendance will not be possible for the child. As such, under no circumstances, should a parent substitute attendance at this program for regularly scheduled childcare.

AGE REQUIREMENT: Children must be at least 7 years of age to participate in drop-in programming. Drop-In activities are designed for children ages 7 and older and may not be appropriate for younger children.

***Please note that, for planning purposes, we may require advanced registration and parental permission for special events, classes, and/or field trips.

Advanced notification will be given in such instances***
