Exceptions include:

  • Day camps and aquatic leadership courses (including first aid): 50% of the course fee will be charged if you withdraw within seven days of the program start date and time.
  • Licensed childcare (Preschool, Before and After School Care): One month’s payment will be charged if you do not provide one calendar month’s notice.

Give as much notice as possible

We understand life gets busy. If you need to withdraw from a program, please give as much notice as possible so other available patrons can register.
