Oaks is popular program! So: we ask that families register for one (1) day only to give as many opportunities to participate as possible.
At registration, please add all family members who will/may join you throughout the year. This helps us know important information about each participant (allergies, emergency contact information, photo waivers etc..). We ask that each registered participant pay an annual membership fee of $35.00 when registering. This fee helps us recover costs such as insurance and other administrative costs to support this program.
If you have a current membership, we will send a notification when it has expired to renew it for the following year. This timing may not co-incide with registration for this years program. You can view membership status’ for your family on your account by selecting ‘membership cards’.
Oaks & Acorns is a donation-based /pay-what-y0ou can drop-in program, with a suggested donation of $10.00 for each session your family attends. Your donations can be easily processed separately from this registration.
“We have made the important decision to keep this as a drop-in program to meet the expressed needs of local and regional families. This accessible and flexible program succeeds insofar as we all contribute according to our real capacity. We will send a communication following your registration with the ways in which you can make be a part of an exciting commitment to mutual aid and community support and care.”
