Residency Policy
Enfield Recreation programs are for the enjoyment of Enfield Residents. An Enfield resident is defined as a citizen whose primary residence is in Enfield. This privilege will be extended to minor dependent children of Enfield residents, even if the children live in another town. Program registration may be extended to non-residents, for certain programs, at a higher fee. If so, the non-resident rate will be listed in the program details.
Enfield residents will be allowed to register for all at the initial registration date. Proof of residency will be required at the time of registration. Acceptable forms of ID are: valid driver’s license, tax bill, utility bill, and renter’s/homeowner’s agreement.
Registrations for non-residents will be accepted for select programs, if space is available, two weeks after the initial registration date for Enfield residents. A 25% surcharge will be added to the user fee, for each individual registration.

Withdrawals & Refunds
If you would like to request withdrawal from a program, you must fill out a withdrawal request form and submit it to the Recreation Department as soon as possible with any pertinent documentation attached.
Due to limited space in our programs, refunds are not given unless for a medical reason, upon receipt of a doctor’s note, one week prior to the program’s start. Once a program has begun, no refunds are given unless there is a case of a medical emergency with submission of a doctor’s note. Extenuating circumstances, which are not medical in nature, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are subject to if we can fill your spot in the program. Refunds will not be given for any reason for sessions which have already been completed, prior to the Recreation office receiving a refund request. NOTE: Some programs have different refund policies due to the contractor or the advanced purchase of supplies. You will be notified of this at time of registration.
A 10% processing fee will be charged on all refunds or program transfers regardless of reason. Withdrawal request forms may be found on the Town’s website and at the Recreation office. Your request will be processed in 7 - 10 business days.
