Recreation Fee Assistance Program

The Recreation Fee Assistance Program is designed to allow access to our programs for all residents. For city residents with financial hardships, assistance is available to help offset the costs of camps. Qualifying applicants are currently eligible for either  30% or  60% fee waivers depending upon their reported income. A current application, accompanied by required income documentation (noted on the application), is needed for program enrollment. Interested city residents are encouraged to complete the Recreation Fee Assistance Enrollment Application which is available at all community centers and City Hall. It can also be downloaded below. Applications must be submitted at least 10 business days before registration.
