Policies and Fees


General Information
Registration procedures for classes and programs are aimed at giving priority to Los Alamitos residents without excluding individuals from other communities. Participants can register online, by mail, in person, or by fax. Early registration is encouraged so that class minimums can be reached in advance of the first class. 

General Policies
The City of Los Alamitos does not discriminate on the basis of handicapped status in admission or access to, or treatment in, its programs and activities. Alternative methods of communication will be made available for those wishing to participate in City programs or activities. Information concerning the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act is available by calling (562) 431-3538. Individuals registering for a class must meet the age requirement prior to the first class meeting. Children may not remain in adult classes and adults may not remain in children’s classes during instruction unless otherwise stated.

Refund Policy
If minimum enrollment is not met 72 hours prior to the class start date, classes will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued. Refunds for one-day classes or workshops must be requested no less than five days prior to the class start date. Refunds for all other classes will only be granted if requested prior to the second regularly scheduled class or specialty camp meeting. A $10 refund fee will be assessed per participant, per class. No refunds will be issued for seasonal Day Camps, Lap Swim or the Lil’ Oak Preschool Program.

Late Registration
Registration will be accepted at the first and second class if space is available. Fees will not be prorated. Call first to verify an opening at (562) 430-1073.

Class transfers
Transfers will be honored if requested prior to the second class meeting. A $10 transfer fee will be applied to any class, specialty camp, or program unless the class is cancelled due to low enrollment. Transfers cannot be made from season to season.

Late pickup fee
If, after the conclusion of any class or program, a minor participant has not been picked up, staff will allow for a 5-minute grace period, after which a $1 per minute fee will be assessed and charged to the parent/guardian.
