How to RegisterRegistration for summer programs with the MVF Department of Recreation, Parks and Culture begins Friday, May 5 and con-tinues until the class maximum has been reached or until two working days before the start of class. If there is not sufficient registration at that time, the class will be cancelled. Register:• Online at www.montgomeryvillage.com• In person at the MVF Office, 10120 Apple Ridge Road, from

8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. • By mail to MVF, 10120 Apple Ridge Road, Montgomery

Village, MD 20886-1000. • After hours registration may be dropped off in the locked

drop box located in the parking lot of the MVF Office. Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted.

• Phone and faxed registrations are accepted with payment by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover)—Phone: 301-948-0110; Fax: 240-243-2302.

Important Facts about Registration• Program registration is complete once staff has verified an

opening in the session and when a receipt has been issued to the registrant.

• Full payment is due at the time of registration. However, for those who register for all sessions of any MVF camp at the same time, a deposit equal to the cost of half of those sessions will hold a space(s) at camp. All camp fees must be paid in full by Monday, June 12. If final payment is not received by the due date, your camper’s place may be of-fered to someone on the waiting list.

NOTE: There is a $35 charge for returned checks.• All camper-related forms are due Monday, June 12. State

code requires MVF to maintain these forms on location whenever camp is in session. Accordingly, children will not be admitted to any MVF camp until those documents are received and reviewed by MVF staff.

• MVF camps are offered in pre-determined one-week (Racing Wind and Soaring Stars) or two-week (Tiny Feet) sessions. Special registration requests will be considered (but not guaranteed) based on program requirements, including enrollment, special activities and trips.

Camp & Program Refund PolicyExcept in the case of sudden illness, cancellations/requests for refund must be received in writing and prior to the first day of the camp session or class in question, in order to be considered.Refunds will be made only under the following circumstances: 1. Cancellation of a program by the Montgomery Village Foun-

dation.2. Extended illness (doctor’s certificate required).3. Permanent relocation of participant out of Montgomery

Village.4. Failure to meet camp/class prerequisites.5. MVF changes made to the meeting time/location, which

prohibit participant’s attendance.Refund requests which are based on personal reasons, includ-ing vacationing, will only be granted if MVF is able to fill the requestor’s spot in his or her camp or class with another paying participant. Absolutely no refunds will be granted once half of the program session has been concluded—no exceptions. Except in the case that MVF cancels or changes the time/location of a program, a $25 non-refundable deposit included in the registration fee will be held by MVF in the event that a refund is granted.

Inter/Intra-Camp TransfersRequests from participants to transfer from one MVF camp to another MVF camp or to a different session of the same MVF camp will be accommodated if there are openings available. A $10 fee will be charged for this service.For further information, please call 301-948-0110, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Saturday, May 20 to Sunday, Sept. 24MVF Amazing Race

Our 50th Anniversary Swim Challenge was so popular last year that we decided to come back with a new “Amazing” one! This summer residents can embark on a trek around Montgomery Village pools in an “Amazing Race”-style competition. Pick up your first route at any lifeguard office. Complete route tasks and questions to advance to the next route. Finishing the race is easy, but it might be lengthy. Depending on how successful you are in completing the routes, you will swim or walk between 30 and 50k to complete the race.

The first 70 participants who complete the challenge will receive a high-quality wicking MVF Amazing Race T-shirt.
