Fall 2025 Activity Guide

Fall 2025

What’s Inside

HEADS UP, CALVERT COUNTY!

Starting this winter, the Parks & Recreation Activity Guide will no longer be mailed to every household. Rising printing and mailing costs have led us to make the switch, but don’t worry—the guide isn’t going away!

You can still check out all the fun and programs we offer online and we’ll have printed copies available at community centers and all other CCPR facilities if you prefer to flip through a hard copy.

We appreciate your understanding as we take steps toward a more sustainable future. Your feedback is always welcome and you can find the latest activity guide anytime at calvertcountymd.gov/ParksAndRecreation.

Message from the Director

As autumn arrives in Calvert County, we welcome the crisp air, colorful foliage and the return of many cherished seasonal traditions. Fall is a time of reflection and renewal—an opportunity to reconnect with the outdoors, embrace community events and enjoy the beauty our parks and programs provide.

Whether you’re exploring our scenic trails, cheering on local youth sports, attending a fall festival or simply taking in a quiet moment at one of our many parks, we hope you find joy, connection and well-being through everything we offer. Our dedicated team has worked hard to create a wide range of opportunities this season for individuals, families and guests of all ages and abilities.

On behalf of the Calvert County Parks & Recreation team, thank you for making us part of your autumn. We are proud to serve this vibrant and growing community and we look forward to seeing you out and about this season.

Warm regards,

Bob Branham,

Trauma Informed Yoga and Reiki

Activity #25-122334

Trauma doesn't just affect the mind. It can also be held in the body. Trauma-informed yoga may include increased body awareness in a safe and controlled way, which can promote feelings of physical, emotional and psychological safety. It can address nervous system deregulation, disconnection and feelings of disconnection from the body or surroundings, which are common after experiencing trauma. While many regular yoga classes encourage students to move through emotional discomfort, traumainformed yoga creates a safe space for people to pay attention to signs of dissociation and distress that may come up and to stop whenever they need. Traumainformed yoga is less about how poses are executed and more about the feeling of embodiment (being within your body) within a pose. Establishing presence and finding a sense of grounding can help you connect to your mind and body in a way that feels secure as you are guided through a supportive experience, you may observe sensations and emotions that arise without feeling triggered or overwhelmed.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS

The following are guidelines for requesting a refund for special events, programs, rentals, facilities and other Department amenities. Programs offered and paid for through third party organizations such as Calvert Nature Society and some youth sports, must contact said organization regarding any refund procedures. The Department reserves the right to cancel all reservations providing as much notice as possible. Reservations canceled by the Department will receive a full refund unless the cancellation is due to a violation of policy such as nonpayment of balance.

It is to be understood that the reservation date or program dates listed on a permit is strictly for the dates listed on the permit. Refunds will not be approved due to poor weather conditions, unless the County closes the program, park or facility due to inclement weather or other emergency.

All refund and date transfer requests must be submitted in writing, by fax, or via e-mail to the Department and be accompanied by a copy of the paid receipt unless otherwise noted. Phone transfers are not accepted. Refund requests or date transfers must be made at least fourteen (14) days prior to the reserved date or program start date unless otherwise noted in this section. The prevailing administrative fee will be applied to all refund or transfer requests. Refund requests do not automatically mean approval of a refund. If payment was made by check or cash, then approved refund requests will be received in the form of a County-issued check in approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks unless otherwise noted. Credit card refunds will be processed within five (5) business days. The prevailing cancellation/ date transfer/refund fee will be applied to all cancellation/ transfer requests. Online convenience fees for online purchases are non-refundable.

In lieu of a refund, the Department may offer the participant a program credit. The credit may be applied toward the cost of any future recreation program registration, facility rental or activity. No administrative service charges will be deducted when a credit is accepted by the participant. Credit would expire one (1) year from date of issuance. The existence of an account credit per this manual is not eligible for a refund. The Director of Parks and Recreation or designee must authorize all refunds unless otherwise noted or otherwise noted in the Revenue and Fee Manual.

The complete Parks & Recreation Revenue & Fee Policy and Manual can be found at www.calvertcountymd.gov/ RevenueAndFeeManual

CCPR reserves the right to cancel any activity for which there is insufficient registration or for any other reasonable cause which prevents presentation of the subject in an acceptable manner. CCPR also reserves the right to change activity and class schedules when necessary and further reserves the right to add, delete or modify without notice any class or program offering. Fees and charges are subject to change without notice.

ALL CCPR classes/programs/activities hosted at a school facility will be canceled when the Calvert County Public Schools Board of Education cancels or closes school early. CCPR facilities will follow the county government delayed opening/closure schedules and will post information on the website and social media page.

DISCLAIMER: All activity, class and event dates and times are accurate at the time of publication. Circumstances including, but not limited to, class enrollment under minimum, instructor availability and weather emergencies may contribute to date and time changes or cancellations. All fees are also subject to change.

LATE REGISTRATION

Late registration may be accepted with the approval of the class instructor and recreation staff supervisor.

INSURANCE

Insurance is provided to participants of CCPR programs who are 18 years of age and younger at no charge. This insurance is supplemental in nature and covers expenses above and beyond those covered by the individual’s own insurance. Injuries occurring at sponsored activities must be reported to CCPR personnel on site. If CCPR personnel are not present, the injury must be reported to the main office within 24 hours. CCPR cannot accept responsibility for injuries not reported. Also, due to insurance liability, no CCPR staff have the ability to override ages/grades for any reasons. Only our therapeutic recreation specialist may determine whether an accommodation is needed to be made.

PROOF OF AGE

It shall be the policy of the CCPR to provide safe and playable athletic fields accessible to all citizens of Calvert County and their guests. In order to ensure the safety of all field users and guests at all county controlled recreational facilities, the following guidelines for weather-related activity suspensions or cancellations have been established.

The director of CCPR or their designee shall have sole authority to suspend or cancel any activity on county controlled recreational facilities, regardless of whether said activities are sponsored by the county or any other noncounty or private group.

LIGHTNING AND THUNDERSTORMS

Any visible lightning strikes will require immediate suspension of activity. All patrons should seek immediate shelter.

RAIN

Rain events, while not generally posing immediate threat to personal safety, cause changes in field conditions which can create the potential for personal injury and negatively effect game playability. Two different playing surfaces are affected by rain. They are baseball and softball skin areas, as well as all other turf covered areas. Wet field conditions can be related to falling rain at the time of the activity or to the cumulative effects of prior rain even though there may be no rain falling at game time. Baseball and softball games will be suspended or canceled at any time there is standing water on the infield skin or if the consistency of the skin is such that soil is sticking to players shoes. These conditions could lead to slipping and possible player injury and additionally do not provide a favorable game experience. All other games (soccer, football, lacrosse, field hockey, rugby, etc.) which are played on turf areas will be suspended or canceled at any time there is standing water or visible puddling on the surface. In addition, if foot pressure on the surface is such that it causes soil displacement or brings soil water to the surface, the field will be deemed unplayable and all activities will be suspended or canceled.
