Rec. Dept.

Bolton Recreation Department programs/activities may from time to time be cancelled or rescheduled. Before leaving a child at the Town Hall, a parent shall confirm that the recreation program has not been cancelled or rescheduled. Parents are responsible for making sure their child is not dropped off and left unattended or unsupervised at the Town Hall in the event of a program cancellation.

With the cold and flu season upon us, the staff of the Recreation Center and the Recreation Commission kindly request that any child who is exhibiting signs or symptoms of any illness please do not attend the recreation center. Furthermore, if any child does attend the Recreation Center with signs or symptoms of illness they will be required to leave the facility. A parent will be called and must pick their child up within twenty minutes of notification.

Please obtain a revised copy of the Recreation Center Rules and Regulations beginning November 10, 2009. All students will be required to review and sign all parts of the new contract. We will do our best to distribute copies, however, it is the responsibility of parent and child to be sure all information is provided to Recreation Center staff.
