Registration, Refund & General Policies


Registration:
Please register early! 

  • Some programs have a maximum enrollment and fill quickly. Others have a minimum enrollment which must be met at least 5 business days prior to the start of the program to avoid cancellation.  We will make every effort to notify you if a class is cancelled due to low enrollment.
  • If the program is full, please add yourself (child) to the waitlist.  When/if a spot opens, we will notify the next person on the list.  
Refunds:
  • There are no refunds issued once you are registered for a program. Refunds will only be issued if a program is cancelled for lack of enrollment, or for a verifiable injury (doctors note required).
Notification Policy
  • You will receive confirmation of program registration provided we have a current e-mail address on file for your Household Account.  Plan to arrive for your program at the scheduled date and time unless otherwise notified.

    The Harwich Recreation Department prioritizes safety during inclement weather or
    emergencies. Staff will make every effort to communicate with participants via email, text

    activities scheduled within that building will also be canceled.
