Registration Procedures Tour Information Important Notice: Pleasurebent Tours is a third-party company with which GVR contracts to provide tour options to our members. Since these tours occur off GVR property and in busses and small groups, Pleasurebent has its own set of policies they follow. They are currently requiring tour guests to be vaccinated and to complete a Pandemic Consent and Release Form prior to travel. Face masks will be required when appropriate. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Pleasurebent Tour Company: (520) 325-8839 “For the well-being of the entire group, we hope you have assessed your physical limitations accurately. We know that mobility issues will vary. If you require individual assistance, you must be accompanied by a companion who is capable of providing any and all assistance needed for you to participate in our scheduled activities. Neither our personnel nor our suppliers may physically lift or assist clients. If you have any questions about the physical demands of a particular tour please call Pleasurebent Tours (520)325-8839 and speak to them about the matter. Thank you.”

Due to the necessity of the tour company, Pleasurebent Tours, to arrange ahead of time and pre-pay for bus accommodations, admission tickets, and meals, no refunds will be issued after the date stated on the reservation confirmation.

A travel waiver will need to be signed prior to any tour

Non-Member Registrations Everyone in the community is invited and welcome to register for classes offered by GVR! Our goal is to offer a wide range of leisure, social, and educational classes to encourage lifelong learning and allow you to expand your knowledge, talents, and skills. To optimize your experience, we offer knowledgeable and friendly staff and instructors, state-of-the-art equipment, and classroom space conducive to learning.

Non-GVR members may register for classes in person at West Center. The course fee is $10 higher for non-GVR members. Registration opens two weeks prior to the start date of the course, and early registration is suggested as classes fill up quickly. (Note: Ceramics, Clay Studio, and Lapidary are reserved exclusively for GVR members.) You may receive a “Class Pass” upon registration and must acknowledge in writing that you will abide by GVR policies while attending courses at our centers. Non-members may attend a course that allows drop-ins if there is space available.
