Age Policy for Recreation Programs

For all Orting Recreation activity programs, participants must turn the required age for the program by the date that the program begins.  For example, if the minimum age required is three (3), the participant must have their third birthday before the date that the program begins. No exceptions.

Regarding requests for a player to “play-up” an age bracket, the parent must first register the child for their current age bracket, then request that the player “play-up” an age bracket.  After registration closes, if space is available, the player will be placed in the older age bracket.  “Play-up” requests are NOT guaranteed.

Refund/Cancellation Policy

Registration is on a first come, first served basis. Registration and payment of fees in advance is required for all programs. Refunds will be issued at the rate of 100% up to 24 hours before the program begins, or 50% if withdrawn during the first week of class. No refunds will be issued after the first week of class has been completed. Processing fees will not be refunded. All refund requests must be submitted in writing or emailed to recreation@cityoforting.org. No refunds issued for missed classes, camps, or clinics. The City of Orting reserves the right to cancel activities or programs due to insufficient registration or causes beyond its control, including up to the date and time said class is to begin. If an activity or program is cancelled due to insufficient enrollments or causes beyond control before it commences, a full refund will be issued but the registrant releases the City from all further liability caused by said cancellation.
