Scuba Discovery

Ages: 10 years & older Have you ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, but aren’t quite ready to take the “dive” into a certification course then this experience is for you! While not a scuba certification course, Scuba Discovery is a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world. This class is taught by PADI certified divers.

Participants must be at least 10 years old and no prior scuba diving experience is necessary. All equipment is provided.

Sound Bath and Guided Meditation Under the Stars

Ages: 14 years & older Come join us for a meditative and healing experience at Sunburst Bay Aquatic Center. Participants will be “bathed” in resonant sounds using instruments like gongs, singing bowls, chimes and drums. Sound baths are great for anxiety and stress relief and often times provide a sense of peace and tranquility. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and bring a blanket and a pillow. Participants can enjoy this experience either floating around the pool or relaxing on a lounge chair on the deck.

Instructor: Nancy Meyers with Happy Hour Yoga

SUMMER DAY CAMP

Camp ECHO This camp offers a full schedule of exciting activities that will keep your child engaged all day long. The majority of the time is spent outdoors, where children can play, stay active, build independence, develop life skills, make new friends, and create lasting memories. In addition to arts and crafts, sports, and games, campers will have the chance to explore nature through fishing, hiking, and scavenger hunts. Weekly swim days and field trips are also part of the fun.

Our camp counselors are a mix of experienced and enthusiastic high school students, college students, and adults. They foster a non-competitive environment where kids can relax, have fun, and simply enjoy being kids. Many of our counselors have been with the Park District and camp program for several years.

ePACT Cary Park District is excited to announce the adoption of ePACT Network, a health and safety software to better support our summer day camp, Preschool, and ET KidZone families and make it easier to submit and update the required forms needed before your child begins the program.

Why Are We Using ePACT To Save You Time

With ePACT, you will only need to complete your child’s information once, and then verify that it is correct for additional programs or subsequent years. If you need to update something quickly, just log in, update it, and we’ll be notified immediately.

Better Security and Privacy

Collecting information electronically eliminates the need for paper forms. ePACT’s high encryption levels and commitment to security means your data on ePACT is safer than on paper. ePACT allows us to limit and track access.

How ePACT Works Receive the Request

Once you register for either Camp ECHO or Sunshine Camp, you will receive an automated email with a link, within 24 hours, to the forms that are required. You will receive an e-mail with link for each child who is participating in camp.

Hoffman Park “It’s very convenient, clean, and a wonderful place to exercise our dog.”

“The dog park is just the right size. Big enough that the dogs can really stretch their legs, but not so big that you can’t keep tabs on the activity throughout the park.”

Registration Information Age Appropriate:

Ages and/or grades are listed with programs as guidelines for age-specific ability. The younger the participant, the more this guideline must be followed to ensure safety, enjoyment, and accomplishment. A birth certificate may be requested if doubt occurs concerning a participant’s age.

Behavior:

Although the Park District realizes that inappropriate behavior may occur, the Park District reserves the right to suspend or remove participants from programs or facilities if hazardous, disruptive, and/or destructive behavior persists. If a participant is taken out of a program or removed from a facility due to these circumstances, a prorated refund will be issued for the remainder of the program or facility usage.

Minimum/Maximum:

A minimum and maximum number of participants is set for each program. This is to ensure the best possible experience for each participant. The Park District may increase or reduce program size if necessary.

Photos and Videos

Photos and video footage are periodically taken of participants in a class, during a special event, or in the District’s parks and facilities. Please be aware that by registering for Park District programs and activities or by using the Park District’s parks and facilities you agree that any photograph or videotape taken by the Park District may be used by the District for promotional purposes including print and electronic media without further permission and without any compensation to you. All photos/ videos are property of the Park District.

In Case of Oops!

During the course of Park District programs, there can be unforeseen circumstances that force the Park District to change schedules, instructors, combine or postpone programs, adjust facility usage or modify fees. The Park District makes every effort to ensure that the information presented in this brochure is complete and accurate; however, sometimes errors do occur and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Insurance:

The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program or facility participants. The cost would make program fees prohibitive. Please review your own personal health insurance plan to be certain that you and your family have the proper coverage.

Policies, Procedures and Guidelines:

Additional Park District policies, procedures and guidelines are available for review at the Cary Park District Community Center.

A Note of Thanks:

Thank you to School Districts 155, 26 and 3 for providing facilities in which to hold recreational programs; to Park District Commissioners, volunteers, and staff who devote so much of their time; and to you, the community, for your support.

Fees:

Resident/Non-resident - The first program fees listed in the brochure are for Cary Park District residents. Non-resident (NR) fees are listed second and are the higher rate of the two.

Residents support the Park District through tax dollars, while non-residents pay to participate through higher registration fees. All account balances must be paid in full before registering for new programs.

Fair Share - Those desiring to achieve resident status may pay their “fair share” of taxes based on the taxable value of their home. This entitles an individual to pay in-district fees and register for programs at the same time as residents. Fair share will be applied over a 12-month period. Some exceptions apply, please refer to the Fair Share Guidelines found in the Forms section of carypark.com.

The taxable value of a property is stated clearly on the tax bill.

Fair share in not necessarily for everyone. This has to be determined by you, taking into consideration the frequency of Park District use and the value of your home.

The inquiring individual should provide a copy of their current tax bill to the Superintendent of Recreation for review. The Fair Share amount will be calculated and a written reply will be sent. If you don’t have a copy of your current tax bill, call your taxing township for your home’s taxable value.

Waiver of Fees - A Waiver of Fees program is available to provide assistance to residents with financial hardship. Confidential application may be made to the Superintendent of Recreation. Personal financial records may be requested to verify need.
