Confirmation

All registrants receive a confirmation receipt by email. If you do not receive a confirmation, please call to confirm receipt of registration.

If a camp or class is full, a wait list is generated and individuals on the wait list will be contacted if space becomes available.

Cancellations

Programs that have not met the minimum number of enrollees are cancelled approximately one week before the start date. Participants are notified of cancelled classes by phone or email.

Fees

All fees must be paid in full and are due at the time of registration. Partial payment does not reserve enrollment. One form and payment may be used for family registrations.

A nonresident fee of $35 per person, in addition to the activity fee, is required for all activity sections. This fee is non-refundable except when class/activity is canceled by the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities. To determine if you are a City resident, refer to the City Residency Verification Guide.

Credit/Refund Policy

Registrants may request a refund or household credit in writing to Lee Center, Registration and Reservation Office, 1108 Jefferson St., Alexandria, VA 22314 or by email to RegisterARPCA@alexandriava.gov based on the following criteria:

  • Credits are processed for activities cancelled by the department. If a refund is preferred, please let us know.
  • Registrants dissatisfied with a class/program are encouraged to contact RPCA as soon as possible so that we can make it right. If we are unable to correct the issue, a credit or refund may be issued.
  • Registrants unable to attend a program due to relocation from the City of Alexandria may request a refund. 
  • Credits will remain on a household account for 90 days. Credits older than 90 days will be processed as a refund back to the customer.

Staff are not permitted to administer medication. If your child needs medication during the time that they attend the program, the parent must arrange with an administrator to bring the medication for their child. If the child is required to have medication with them in case of emergencies (i.e., inhalers, epi-pen), the child may have it at the recreation program. Medication must be labeled and in its original packaging. No expired medication will be accepted. The medication will be stored in a clear Ziploc bag and labeled with the child’s name. The medication will accompany the Medication Authorization Form and Medication Log. All medications will be secured in a red Medical Bag and accessible by any staff member in an emergency.
