Some programs may qualify for a prorated refund, if due to an injury or illness, accompanied by a doctor’s note. The refund will be based on the number of classes attended and the date the refund request is received. Medical refunds must be requested by the last class date. Enrollments paid by cash, check or credit card will be refunded by check. Refunds will be mailed to participants approximately 2-3 weeks after approval is received.

In Case of Oops!
Complete details of program policies, procedures and guidelines are sometimes omitted from the program brochures because of space limitations. Also, errors in days, times, registration requirements, and fees may occur as well. We apologize for any errors that may occur in the brochure. When such errors do occur, we will advise you of the change as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding when these situations arise.
When determining the fees for a particular class, you must first determine whether you are “in-district” or “out-of-district.” In-district residents are those who reside within the Barrington Park District boundaries and who pay taxes to the Barrington Park District. All others are out of district. Important: not all Village of Barrington residents are within the Barrington Park District boundaries and therefore require the out-of-district rates. Barrington Park District boundaries are NOT the same as District 200 or the Barrington Area Library.
Please see the neighborhood lists below and check your tax statement to determine your residency status.
