CONFIRMATION
Once we have processed your registration, we’ll mail you a confirmation showing which classes you are enrolled. If we were unable to place you in a class, the fee for that class will be placed in your family’s household account as an account credit, and this, too, will be noted on your confirmation. You may:
• use the credit for future courses; or
• request a full refund. All refunds will be paid by City check; please allow three weeks for processing.
For further information on the registration process, please call our administrative office at (937) 333-8400, or contact the Center where the program you are interested in is being offered.
RESIDENT/NON-RESIDENT POLICY
People who live within the Dayton city limits or work within the Dayton city limits pay Dayton taxes. These taxes help support the facilities and programs offered through the Department of Recreation and Youth Services. As such, those who pay taxes in our City are considered City “residents” or “workers” for registration and fee purposes. Those living or working outside of the City’s corporate limits are considered “non-residents/workers”. Generally, program fees for non-Dayton residents/workers will be an additional 25 percent. Not all programs or activities are resident/non-resident fee based.
To verify your residency status, you will need to provide adequate validation in order to receive the resident rates. To do so, please provide a copy of one of the following when registering by mail, on site or by fax:
For those living in the Corporate Limits of Dayton
- Valid Dayton recreation resident card
- A valid Ohio driver’s license with Dayton address
- Current utility bill with Dayton address, accompanied by a valid photo I.D.
- Checkbook with Dayton address, accompanied by a valid photo I.D.
For those working in the Corporate Limits of Dayton.
- A pay stub showing the name and location of employer with a driver’s license
When registering in person, you’ll need to show staff one of these items. Failure to provide adequate proof of residency will result in you being charged the non-resident rate, and your family will be processed as non-residents.
REFUND POLICY
All refunds must be requested through a Department of Recreation and Youth Services refund form. All forms must be completely filled out, will be subject to the Department refund policy as outlined below and approved by the Department Director.
Cancelled Classes
A full refund will be issued in the name of whoever paid the registration if the cancellation is initiated by the Department of Recreation and Youth Services due to insufficient enrollment.

All refunds will be issued by City check and may take two to four weeks to process. Refunds will only be issued to the person that paid the fee. No refunds will be issued after the beginning of the second week of the class.
Refunds due to illness
Refunds will only be issued if the participant becomes ill and is no longer able to participate in the remainder of the program. A doctor’s statement must be provided. All refunds issued will be prorated from the date of notification to the Department of Recreation and Youth Services.
Trips- Since trips require reservations weeks ahead of time, the Department of Recreation and Youth Services cannot process refunds for persons requesting a refund (no exceptions).
