Monday July 5 - Friday August 13 2010

RECREATION PROGRAM (one-week sessions):

• The Recreation program will be held Monday through Friday each week for youth ages 6-9.
  
  
• Programming will be held from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with a 1-hour break for lunch. You may drop off after 8:00am and pick up MUST be by 5:00pm. Participants must bring their own lunch.
  
  
• The program consists of a six week supervised waterfront recreational program with structured activities and free play. Swimming lessons may be offered as part of the programming as well as games, crafts, special events, free play and swim time. Come prepared to be outside. Please bring towel, bathing suit, life jacket if appropriate, change of clothes, sunscreen and appropriate footwear.
  
  
• Parents/Guardians are required to sign their children in and out when dropping them off in the morning and picking them the up in the afternoon. Please allow time in your schedule to make sure this administration gets done. It is vital our staff know when children are on site and where they are at all times!
  
  
• Enrollment in the Recreation Program is limited and is on a first-come-first-served basis. Your place will be reserved upon payment. There is a $40 non-refundable registration fee per family for non-members. Fees for the Recreation program are $185 per week (members) and $235 per week (non-members) for 1-week sessions, non-refundable.

ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE:

• Payment and registration for the sessions MUST be received at the downtown office (IYC, 309 Third Street, Ithaca, NY 14850) BY THE WEDNESDAY PRIOR TO THE WEEK OF ENROLLMENT. This is a necessary policy for us to operate effectively, and is well aligned with other programs.
  
  
• Member’s annual dues must be paid in full to register for the summer programs as a member.
  
  
• Vaccination records must be on file BEFORE a child can participate in any program! Please understand that this requirement comes from the County Health Department and is mandatory.
  
  
• An application must be completed for each child. This form is an on-going record of each child’s participation in the program. As such, the Club would like to know in advance in which session(s) each child is likely to enroll. However, changes inevitably occur. The Club must know about changes as soon as possible to facilitate proper staffing for the upcoming week.
  
  
• Enrollment and fees (non-refundable) are based on full sessions. No partial-week enrollments will be accepted, although a child may choose not to attend all days.

JUNIOR ROASTS

A time honored IYC tradition, Junior Roasts will be held on Thursday nights in July and August. Volunteer "parent chefs" cook hot dogs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers provided at a nominal cost including beverage. The hot dogs and burgers are supplemented by dish to pass contributions from parents. The children love it! The Roast is followed by games organized by the Waterfront staff. A marvelous time for all!

Forms (application, health and payment) may be mailed, faxed, or hand delivered to:
