Refunds, Transfers, & Cancellations#

REFUNDS

Unless otherwise noted, the following refund policy applies to all Recreation programs:

  • Refund requests must be made before the second class begins (or during the first week of sports practices). For fitness programs, refund requests must be made 24 hours prior to class start time.
  • Programs that only meet once may receive a refund no later than one week prior to the scheduled program start date.
  • Ticketed events are either non-refundable or have a date specified as the last day to receive a refund.
  • Material fees are non-refundable.
  • Refund options include:
    • A full credit to your Recreation household account.
    • Check or credit refund; minus a $5 service charge per program.
    • For refunds less than $5, a Recreation household credit is offered.
  • Note: Trips & Travel and Outdoor Recreation programs have additional cancelation policies. View the specific program description for more information or contact recreation@fcgov.com to learn more about a specific program or trip.

CANCELLATIONS

  • Recreation may cancel programs at staff’s discretion. If a program is canceled for any reason, you will receive a full refund or credit.
  • Recreation staff can assist you in finding another program to meet your needs.

TRANSFERS

  • Transfers between programs may occur free of charge, prior to the second meeting of the class on a space-available basis.
  • Note: if the new program costs more than the original program, the participant is responsible for paying the difference; alternatively, if the program costs less than the original program, the participant will be given the difference as a credit on the appropriate Recreation household account.
  • If your age, grade level, or ability does not meet the minimum requirements, you will be transferred to a program that better suits your needs.

RECREATION RESERVE FUND

The Recreation Reserve Fund enables the City of Fort Collins to provide and sustain high quality recreation services and facilities. To ensure future needs are met, $1 per program enrollment and $2 per hour during facility room rentals are allocated to reserves for future Recreation use. These fees are not discountable.

For more than 30 years, the Recreator has been a lead provider of recreation programming for the Fort Collins community. Companies like yours can increase your reach with Recreator advertising!

The Recreator is produced three times per year, and advertising is available in individual issues, or all three. Paid ads help fund the printing and distribution of this valuable resource guide.
