Department
of Recreation General Information
| Mission Statement |
HE MISSION OF THE FORT LEE
RECREATION DEPARTMENT is to offer a variety of quality
services to residents of all ages so that their leisure time
may be spent in a productive, meaningful and enjoyable manner
in safe environments.
These services may take the form of cultural, educational, instructional or recreational programs or less structured activities. They are diverse so as to offer options. They are generally introductory and non-competitive in nature, allowing for the sampling of varied experiences, without fear of ridicule or failure.
Our
services are a means to a greater end; that end to include the
establishment of new relationships and rapport with other participants,
staff, and members of the community. This helps to open new lines
of communication; to promote mutual respect in our multicultural
environment; to promote a better understanding of ourselves and
our neighbors; and ultimately, a better understanding of, and
commitment to, our community. Our services enhance and enrich
lives long after a specific activity is completed.
| Program Registration Procedures |
Registration
for all Recreation Department programs is open to all Fort Lee
residents and children who attend Fort Lee Public Schools and
Christ the Teacher School. Non-residents will be placed on a
waiting list and notified if there is room available in a class.
There will be no refunds given after the completion of the first
class. The Recreation Department reserves the right to cancel
a class due to insufficient registration. In such a case, a refund
will be granted. In the event of rain, please call the Recreation
Office to ensure that the outdoor classes will be held.
Registration for all programs listed in the program brochure will be held at the Recreation Center. Doors will open at the start of registration at which time a number will be assigned. No one will be allowed to register for more than one individual outside their immediate family.
