How Quickly Do Spots Fill?
Fast! Summer is our busiest season for events and programs, so spots tend to fill quickly, especially for resident favorites like swim lessons, summer camp, and adult yoga. We recommend viewing our website and 2024 Summer Brochure (hard copy coming beginning of April and digital brochure available on March 25) prior to open registration and having all your favorite events and programs picked out ahead of time so you can enroll as soon as registration opens.
