Get ready for summer with THPRD; registration starts April 16

The official start of summer may still be a couple months away, but if you’re within the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, planning for it begins now.

Online and phone registration for THPRD summer classes, camps and activities will be open to in-district residents starting Saturday, April 16, from 8 am to 6 pm. It will continue April 17 from noon to 4 pm and April 18-22 from 8:30 am to 6 pm.

Class descriptions and schedules, along with registration instructions and forms, are in THPRD’s 2016 summer activities guide. The book was mailed in late March to each household within park district boundaries and is available online at www.thprd.org. Extra printed copies are at THPRD centers, the Administration Office, and certain community sites, including Beaverton-area libraries.

“We offer hundreds of classes and camps during the summer, and we serve everyone from toddlers to seniors,” said Sharon Hoffmeister, THPRD superintendent of Aquatics and registration coordinator. “Whether you’re interested in aquatics, sports, nature or recreation, we have something fun for you or your family.”

Patrons registering by computer for the first time must establish an online account in advance. Those registering by phone should call 503-439-9400 April 16-22 (after April 22, call any park district center or the Administration Office at 503-645-6433).

Registrants should have class information, a valid THPRD identification card, and a credit or debit card when they enroll. Questions can be directed in advance to 503-645-6433.

THPRD will again offer, on a limited basis, Spanish language assistance during phone-in registration for classes and programs. The service will be available April 16.

For residents living outside the Tualatin Hills district, online and phone registration will begin Monday, April 18, at 8:30 am; registration in person or by mail begins the following day.
