YOUTH ASSOCIATION CONTACTS Fayette County Youth Association Boards consist solely of volunteers who devote their time and efforts to offer the children in the county an opportunity to participate in organized sports. They depend on your participation, and without these volunteers, children may be turned away for lack of coaches. These associations are constantly in need of head and assistant coaches. If you would like to volunteer your time to assist with various responsibilities in a particular league, visit its Web site for the league coordinator or more information.

RECREATION COMMISSIONERS

The Fayette County Parks and Recreation Commission consists of five members who are appointed by the Fayette County Board of Commissioners. Each member is appointed for a period of four years. The Commission meets regularly to review policies, procedures, and programs. The Commission welcomes community input regarding programs and facilities.

DISTRIBUTION OF BROCHURES Brochures are printed for the Winter/Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons and are distributed in school offices, Fayette County Administration, Library, and Fayette County Parks and Recreation Department facilities. MISTAKES HAPPEN Occasionally there may be an error in days, times, registration requirements, or fees in this brochure. When such errors do occur, our staff will do everything possible to correct the situation promptly. Thank you for your patience and understanding should these situations arise. CLASS STATUS Classes that do not attain the minimum enrollment will not be charged an administration fee. If a class or program is cancelled for insufficient enrollment, a refund or credit will be issued. The credit for the amount paid must be used for another program/class/trip and must be used by the end of the next brochure’s offerings. OUT-OF-COUNTY REGISTRATION Recreation classes/programs/trips are open to out-of-county registrants on a space available basis. Out-of-county fees will reflect a 50% surcharge in addition to the printed fee. FEES AND PAYMENTS Payment of fees is required at the time of registration. After the second class, registration will be closed and no late registration will be accepted. CONTACTS Some programs listed in this brochure are administered by contracted individuals or clubs who use county facilities. If a contact name and phone number are listed, please call the individual to obtain more information. LOST AND FOUND Items left in any of the parks are turned in to the association concession stands or our offices. We will keep the item for two weeks and then donate them to a local charity if not claimed. RISK INVOLVEMENT Many of our programs involve strenuous activities and a certain degree of risk. Inquire with staff for further information regarding the amount of activity expected of participants and the risk, if any, normally associated with the program. By registering for an activity, the registrant acknowledges that he/she is aware of the risk, is physically capable of participating in the activity, and voluntarily accepts any risks involved. INSURANCE Individual accident and health insurance is not provided by the county for participants in our department programs. SUPPLY LISTS Some classes require a supply list that you will be given at the time of registration. Other classes may have supplies at the first class. Payment for these supplies is paid directly to the instructor. PARK ELEMENT, TREE, AND PLANT DONATION PROGRAM Contact Fayette County Parks and Recreation Department for information on honoring someone with a park element, tree, or plant donation within our parks.

GIFT CERTIFICATES Gift certificates are available for any amount and will fit your needs for holidays or birthdays. They may not be redeemed for cash but can be applied to any program/event/league. SPEAKER’S BUREAU Clubs, groups, PTOs: Invite one of our staff members to your meeting and let us keep you informed of our goals and objectives, new programs being planned, and how your tax dollars are being spent for parks and recreation opportunities within Fayette County. PICTURES Pictures are often taken of participants in our programs/events/leagues using our facilities. We reserve the right to publish these pictures in our publication or Web site. If you do not want your picture taken, please let us know upon registration or before we snap that picture-perfect pose. SEVERE WEATHER POLICY Fayette County has made significant strides in preparing for and warning the public about severe weather. If early warning sirens are activated, programs/leagues could be immediately delayed or cancelled for a general time period. AGE REQUIREMENT Each class/program has a minimum and/or maximum age requirement. The participant must meet this age requirement within the duration of the class/program. Failure to adhere to these polices will result in loss of registration fee. JOINT COOPERATIVE EFFORT Fayette County Parks and Recreation Department works closely with Fayette County Board of Education and other Parks and Recreation Departments within the county. From time to time, functions may be co-sponsored in an effort to provide comprehensive activities/events for the entire community. PROGRAMS Nothing can kill a good program faster than waiting until the last minute to register. If you would like to participate in a program/trip/event, please REGISTER WELL IN ADVANCE of the registration deadline. At some point we must determine if enrollment is sufficient to hold the activity. If minimums are not met, we will cancel that program/trip/event. There is a point when a program/trip/event must be modified or cancelled. All programs/trips/events require coordination in staffing, purchasing supplies, and transportation. Your cooperation will help us provide the best organization and administration of programs. REFUNDS See page 21 for information on FCPRD program refunds. TRIPS Regarding trips and charter bus trips that admission must be paid in advance, refunds will only be given if we can sell your space and ticket. No refunds for no-shows. Some of our trips have a waiting list, and if you cancel at the last minute or do not show, you may deprive someone else of being able to attend. Dates and times may be subject to change depending on the trip. Due to the economy, some trip locations adjust their open/close days after the brochure has been published. Arrive 15 minutes prior to departure time.

Kids love seeing the "brain" (cauliflower) and learning about the amygdala that helps us when in danger, but often is in “overdrive” even when there is no danger around, thus making us feel anxious and upset. The concept of mindfulness (paying attention to the here and now and being nonjudgmental) will be introduced and practiced. Learn these skills through games, role-playing, and movement. “MindUP” is an evidenced based, social and emotional program of The Hawn Foundation built upon neuroscience, positive psychology, mindful awareness training, and optimism. The “MindUP” curriculum uses research-based lessons with the latest information about the brain to improve behavior and learning. It is shown to enhance perspective taking, empathy, and kindness, as well as fostering complex problem solving skills. Learn more about “MindUP” here: http://www.parents.com/health/healthy-happy-kids/why-and-how-to-teach-kids-mindfulness/ Day: Monday - Friday Date: July 11 - 15 Course Code: 16154 Time: 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Fee: $75 per resident $112.50 per non-resident Age: 8 - 14 years old Location: Activities House FRIENDSHIP CRAZE: THE MINECRAFT WAY The point of Minecraft seems simple: build practically anything you can imagine.
