**New for 2019-2020 Season**
We have changed our registration format to request more custodial and health related information regarding your child(ren). Even if your child(ren) have attended the Youth Rec Program (“The Civ”), parents will need to complete a new registration–on-site at The Civ) within three weeks.
Saturday hours have changed from 10 AM to 4 PM to 12 PM to 6 PM.
