Youth Activities Guidelines We look forward to making sure that your child not only has a great time but is safe while in our care. We ask that you help us by following the guidelines below: All children enrolled in a camp or class should be checked in and out of the camp by a parent or caregiver unless otherwise arranged. A written permission is required if a child will be leaving the building on their own. Simple steps for our after-school enrichment classes: 1. Inform their teacher about their class registration. 2. Pack a snack for a quick bite in the lunchroom before class. 3. Instructors will escort kids to and from class, taking them to Kids Safari or the main entrance for parent pick-up. Please meet us at the door to check out. 4. Notify the school of any absences or early departures. • Make sure your emergency contact information is current or provide an alternate contact. • Late pick up fees are charged at $1/per minute after 5 minutes. Payment is due at time of pick up. • To ensure everyone’s health and well-being, please use good judgment and keep children home if they are sick. Fee Assistance We offer financial assistance for Youth, Adult and Swim classes which is generously funded by the Education Foundation of Bloomington. Assistance is available for most classes except Drivers Education and Mikkonen Music lessons, other exceptions may apply. Please call 952-681-6132 to request an application or visit our website for more information. A sliding fee scale is used for ECFE and Preschool classes. Accommodations If you or your child needs assistance, including a sign language interpreter, to participate in a Community Education program please contact the program directly. See our program contact list on the inside cover or visit our website for more information.

Cancellation and Refund We sometimes have to cancel classes due to low enrollment, bad weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. We’ll always notify you of cancellations by email or text, and you can either choose a different class or receive a full refund. If you cancel your class at least five business days before it starts, you’ll receive a full refund, minus a $10 processing fee. Unfortunately, we can’t offer refunds if you cancel less than five business days before the class starts, or after the class has already begun. We don’t prorate classes or camps, and we don’t offer make- up classes for missed sessions. Refunds aren’t available due to inclement weather, but we do our best to provide a suitable indoor location as an alternative or reschedule the class. Communication Registrations are confirmed immediately and class reminders are sent by email two days before class starts. When a class is canceled due to low enrollment or weather conditions, we will notify you by email and/or text message. We recommend that you share your email address and cell phone number (click”can receive SMS”) to ensure timely communication about your class. Data Privacy Your privacy is important to us.

We use the information you provide for the purpose of administering the activity and to contact you about upcoming activities. While you may choose to withhold this information, there may be consequences that could limit the distribution of information that you receive, such as confirmations and reminders. Access to contact information is limited to individuals involved in the activity.
