Registration forms are also available at Leisure Services (18 N. Jackson Street).
Drop off or mail your registration form(s) and payment to: Leisure Services, 18 N. Jackson Street, P.O. Box 5005, Janesville, WI 53547-5005
Registration forms will be processed in the order they are received. Please note the dates and times of the programs applied for, as confirmation will not be sent. You will be contacted if a class is full and an alternative day, time or session is still available. It is helpful to include a second choice for classes such as swim lessons or tennis, as these programs fill quickly.
Program Information
All program registrations are subject to space availability; if a class is full, you will be placed on a waiting list. Programs and/or classes may be cancelled due to minimum registration requirements. You will be notified at least 48 hours in advance if an activity must be cancelled due to low enrollment. Persons wishing to enroll in an activity together may submit their forms together. In classes with multiple sessions, enrollment in one session does not automatically secure a space in future sessions.
Payment Options
Leisure Services accepts MasterCard, VISA, cash or local checks made payable to Leisure Services for all programs and services unless otherwise noted. Your MasterCard or VISA number and expiration date must be listed clearly on the registration form. If information is not legible, processing of your registration may be delayed. Please note programs that require checks payasble to the co-sponsoring agency.
Summer Camp Scholarships
With the assistance of Community Development Block Grant funding, the City developed a Youth Scholarship program to defray the costs of summer camp for low and moderate income families. If you would like your child to attend camp this summer, but are concerned about the registration and field trip costs, a scholarship may be your solution! A child may receive up to two scholarships of a maximum of $155 each. Scholarships can be used for a variety of local and regional camps. City camps that accept scholarships are noted in this guide with an icon. Applications are due by June 5. To obtain an application, please visit Leisure Services or download one from this website by clicking the folder icon above.
Refund/Cancellation Policy
All refunds will be made at the discretion of the Recreation Director. Refunds are handled on an individual basis, are paid by check (or credited for credit card payment) and take up to four weeks to process. Participants removed from an activity/program will not receive a refund. Refunds will be reduced by cancellation fees in the amount of $10.00 per session for camps and clinics and $5.00 for lessons.
