PROGRAM REGISTRATION:

For your convenience, after hours registration is available by downloading a form from the Recreation website on somersct.gov. Simply fill out the program registration form, and deposit it in the "Drop Box", or email it back to jcharette@somersct.gov. We will do our best to contact you confirming your registration in a timely manner, either by phone or email.

Registration for SPRING programs begins in April, (unless noted otherwise.)

Pre-Registration is strongly encouraged. You may register for a large majority of our programs by mail or in person, or reserve a space by fax or email.  We encourage this, as it simplifies the process for the participants, the instructors and the Recreation Office.  If your registration cannot be completed due to a full program, you will be notified via phone or email and placed on a waiting list;  your check will be returned if you do not wish to be on a waiting list. No registration will be processed without full payment included. You must pay in full prior to the start of the program.

Non-Resident Registration:  While we do welcome non-residents to register for our programs, Somers residents will receive priority in the registration process.  Openings remaining one week prior to the beginning of a program may be filled by non-residents.

You may also pre-register for a program and be put on its waiting list until the week prior to its start.  You will be notified if there is an opening at that time and may then send payment to the Recreation Department.  Note:  There is an additional $5 - $10 out of town fee for non-residents, depending on the program registered for.

PAYMENT INFORMATION:

Preferred payment for most programs is by check; cash or $ order are also accepted. We do not take credit/debit cards at this time. Some program payments may be made directly to the instructor.  Please note that all returned checks are subject to a $15 returned check fee and an additional $8 handling fee.

Please make checks payable to the Somers Recreation Department.

You may register and pay in person at the Recreation Office located on the first floor of the Kibbe Fuller Community Center, or you may mail payment to:
