MISSION STATEMENT

It is the mission of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Recreation Department: to create and maintain aesthetically pleasing, safe, health-ful, and enjoyable areas for residents; to provide positive, cost effective leisure opportunities which promote individual and community wellness for children, youth, adults and seniors; to promote the preservation and appropriate utilization of the Village’s recreational resources.

2020 REGISTRATION INFORMATION

This brochure provides a description of programs, facilities and special events offered for Winter 2020 by the Village of Croton-on-Hud-son’s Recreation Department. Most classes have limited availability and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, early registra-tion is encouraged. Programs may be canceled due to insufficient registra-tion. Village residents are those who live within the boundaries of the incorporated Village of Croton-on-Hudson, and therefore pay taxes to the Village. The programs and facilities of the Recreation Department are also made available to those who reside within the Croton-Harmon School District yet outside the Village boundaries. In most cases, School District residents are required to pay a higher “non-resident” fee than Village residents; although they are given equal priority in the registra-tion process. If there are still openings in certain programs after Village and School District residents have had an opportunity to register, the Department will consider non-resident applications, at a higher fee, on a per-program basis. For some programs, the mail-in registration form located in the back of this brochure can be used. When mailing in a registration form, please send separate checks for each program. Mail to: Croton Rec-reation Department, Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building, One Van Wyck Street, Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520. All checks or money or-ders should be made payable to:

VILLAGE OF CROTON

We now accept credit cards for on-line registration! A nominal fee will be assessed to the credit card company, this fee is not reflected on your Village of Croton receipt but will appear on your credit card state-ment. Program fees will not be pro-rated. Please call our office at 271-3006 for questions. Also, check out the Village’s website at www.crotononhudson-ny.gov

HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM BE ELIMINATED

Nothing eliminates a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to register. There is a point when a pro-gram must be canceled or modified if there is insufficient registration. All programs require a high level of coordination, often including facil-ity scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment and purchasing of supplies. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!

REFUND POLICY

The Recreation Department does not issue refunds unless a program has been canceled due to insufficient registration. Registrants assume full responsibility for any changes in their personal life, which may affect their ability to participate. In rare cases, a participant may encoun-ter an unforeseeable and unavoidable situation that they feel may warrant a refund of fees paid. These situations will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Recreation Supervisor, who will then make a refund deter-mination. No refunds will be issued if inclement weather prohibits the completion of assigned sessions. No refunds will be made after the start of the first class or session.

• All claims for refunds for classes must be requested in writing.

• A $10.00 fee will be retained by the Village in all cases that refunds or partial refunds are granted.

• A fee for all payments by credit card will be retained by the Village in all cases that full or partial refunds are granted. The Village is unable to refund processing fees when paying by credit card.

• There is an additional charge of $20.00 on all returned checks.

FINANCIAL AID POLICY

It is the intention of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Recre-ation Department to assist its village residents in participating in certain recreation programs by offering financial aid to those who truly need it. Financial aid applications will be accepted for the following programs only: Senior Citizen programs excluding trips, and Croton Youth Program trips. Applications are available in the Recreation Office. Residents must be able to prove financial need. All information will be kept confidential.

MEDICAL INSURANCE

If you do not have a personal medi-cal insurance policy, we urge that you secure one prior to enrolling in any programs. All persons participate at their own risk.

VILLAGE PARKS

When a group of 8 or more persons wishes to use a facility, an individual must request a permit from the Recreation Office. Specific fees, restrictions, rules and hours of use may apply depending on the facility requested and the use desired. Please inquire at the Recreation Office for specific details. In general, to assure our parks remain safe and clean for the enjoyment of the general public, the following restrictions apply:• Swimming is only permitted at Silver Lake Park and only when a lifeguard is on duty.• No dogs or any other domestic animals permitted except at the Croton Landing RiverWalk Trail and Black Rock Park. • No smoking or vaping permitted in parks. • No playing on athletic fields when a “Fields Closed” sign is posted. Fields will close completely for the winter season. They will will re-open sometime in April.
