Registration for summer classes and camps begins April 20
April 12, 2013
The official start of summer may still be a couple months away, but if you’re within the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, planning for it begins now.
Online and phone registration for THPRD summer classes, camps and programs will be open to in-district residents starting April 20 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will continue April 21 from noon to 4 p.m. and April 22-26 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Class descriptions and schedules, along with registration instructions and forms, are in THPRD’s 2013 summer activities guide. The book was mailed in late March to each household within Park District boundaries. Extra printed copies are at THPRD centers, the Administration Office, and certain community sites, including Beaverton-area libraries.
“We offer hundreds of classes and camps during the summer months,” said Sharon Hoffmeister, THPRD superintendent of Aquatics and registration coordinator. “Whether you’re interested in aquatics, sports, nature or recreation, we have something fun and educational for you or your family. We serve everyone from toddlers to seniors.”
Patrons registering by computer for the first time must establish an online account in advance at www.thprd.org/activities. Those registering by phone simply need to call 503/439-9400 starting April 20.
Registrants should have class information, credit card or debit information (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or THPRD gift card), and a valid THPRD residency card. They can sign up only members of their immediate family. Questions can be directed in advance to 503/645-6433.
THPRD will again offer, on a limited basis, Spanish language assistance during phone-in registration for classes and programs. The service will be available April 20.
For residents living outside the Tualatin Hills district, registration will begin April 26 at 8:30 a.m. Those who have paid an assessment fee ($74 quarterly) may register by Internet, phone, fax, mail or walk-in starting that day.
Formed in 1955, THPRD is the largest special park district in Oregon, spanning about 50 square miles and serving more than 220,000 residents in the greater Beaverton
area. The district provides year-round recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Offerings include thousands of widely diverse classes and more than 90 park sites with active recreational amenities, 60 miles of trails, eight swim centers, six recreation centers, and 1,400 acres of natural areas.
