RECREATION PROGRAM INFORMATION
The programs that are listed in this Program Guide are the programs that we had planned by the
publication due date. Please check our website for additional programs or call the Department for
any updated programs.
Due to facility limitations, programs may be subject to changes in times and/or locations. Please
verify with the Department upon registering. We attempt to notify you as early as possible with
any program change. If we fail to reach you, please accept our apology for any inconvenience
caused. Please register for classes in advance. Waiting until the last minute may cause a class to
cancel. Classes may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.
Unless otherwise noted or notified by an instructor/program supervisor, classes/programs may be
held on holidays.
LATE REGISTRATION FEES: A $10 late fee will be imposed on any program registrations coming in
after the deadline. Any late registrations coming in after the rosters are set will be assessed $20
plus any additional cost associated with ordering needed equipment or supplies.
Insufficient Funds - Checks returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a $50 fee by the
Treasurer’s Office and the check-writer’s name will be forwarded to our Department and we will no
longer be able to accept checks from said check-writer.
Refunds - Full refunds are issued in the event a program cancels; or if the Department is notified
prior to the program starting and where no costs are incurred. Where costs were incurred for
deposits, apparel, equipment or any other program related expenses; those costs will be deducted
from the refund. No cash refunds will be given. Refunds generally take two to four weeks to
receive due to accounts payable cycle. Refunds are not issued after programs begin or for
unattended classes. Unusual circumstances will be handled on a case by case basis and may be
subject to being credited for unused funds.
Cancellations/Postponements of Programs -Every once in a while we think we have a great
program idea or an instructor has proposed a great program; but the enrollment is insufficient.
Staff looks at postponing the program (time to be determined) to see if there is evidence that we
think we can get the program to make through other means; and canceling as a last resort. When
we cancel, we do our best to notify participants and issue a refund.
Inclement Weather Policy: At this time, the King George County Parks and Recreation Department
follows the King George County Schools schedule for programs offered in the schools. All other

ISSHINRYU Karate is a traditional form of martial art from Okinawa (the birthplace of
Karate). This program is designed for students who are interested in learning a martial
art form that places an emphasis on quality learning to promote successful skill
mastery and personal safety. Our program focuses on building strength, balance,
coordination, and flexibility through Kata (forms), Kobudo (weapons), and their
Bunkai (practical applications). This translates to a no-nonsense form of efficient self-
defense techniques that have been proven highly effective. The study of IsshinRyu
helps build character, self-esteem, self-control, and self-confidence.
