MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Recreation Department:
To create and maintain aesthetically pleasing, safe, healthful, and enjoyable areas for residents;
to provide positive, cost-effective leisure opportunities which promote individual and community
wellness for children, youth, adults and seniors; to promote the preservation and appropriate
utilization of the Village’s recreational resources.
2022 REGISTRATION INFORMATION
This brochure provides a description of programs, facilities and special events offered for
WINTER 2022 by the Village of Croton-on-Hudson’s Recreation Department. Most classes and
programs have limited availability and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Early registration
is encouraged. Programs may be canceled due to insufficient registration.
Village residents are defined as those who live within the boundaries of the incorporated Village of
Croton-on-Hudson, and therefore pay taxes to the village. The programs and facilities of the
Recreation Department are also made available to those who reside within the Croton-Harmon
School District yet outside the village boundaries. In most cases, School District residents are required
to pay a higher “non-resident” fee; although they are given equal priority in the registration process.
If there are still openings in certain programs after Village and School District residents have had an
opportunity to register, the department will consider non-resident applications, at a higher fee, on a
per-program basis.
A mail-in registration form is located in the back of this brochure and may be used for most programs.
When mailing in a registration form, please send separate checks for each program.
Mail to: Village of Croton / Recreation Dept. , One Van Wyck Street, Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520.
All checks / money orders made payable to: “VILLAGE OF CROTON”
We accept credit card payments & registration on-line ONLY!

HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM
BE ELIMINATED
Nothing eliminates a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to
register. There is a point when a program must be canceled or modified if there is insufficient
registration. All programs require a high level of coordination, often including facility scheduling,
staffing and purchasing of supplies. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!
REFUND POLICY
The Recreation Department does not issue refunds unless a program has been canceled due to
insufficient registration. Registrants assume full responsibility for any changes in their personal life,
which may affect their ability to participate. In rare cases, a participant may encounter an
unforeseeable and unavoidable situation that they feel may warrant a refund of fees paid.
These situations will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Recreation Supervisor.
No refunds will be made after the start of the first class or session.
Program fees will not be prorated. All Requests for refunds must be submitted in writing.
A $10.00 cancellation fee will be retained by the Village in all cases that refunds are granted.

where a full or partial refund is granted. The Village is unable to refund processing fees.
