Cost: 
FREE for RESIDENTS but SPACE IS LIMITED and PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. A resident is any person who resides at an address that pays Town of West Seneca property taxes. 

Registration begins March 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM
Registration ends June 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM  or when spots are full, whichever comes first.

After the registration end date, regardless of if spots remain available or open during the program, we will not accept any additional program sign-ups. This is to allow our department time to properly prepare for the program

We will not allow youth younger or older than the accepted age range to attend a different program/session for a different age range. There are no exceptions. We strive to create a program that is safe, successful, and fair for all. 

If spots fill, we will not be running a waitlist. If someone cancels their enrollment prior to the registration end date, registration will open again (for the open spot only). That open spot or spots will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will make our best effort to post open spots, as they become available on our social media. 

Children at Risk:
All childcare agencies are required by law to report suspected child abuse or maltreatment if they have reasonable cause to suspect it. Our staff is trained in recognizing abuse and maltreatment. Maltreatment can be such things as failing to provide proper medical care, excessive punishment, misuse of alcohol, drugs, etc.

We will also report any threats of violence or harm a youth makes towards themselves or someone else to the proper authorities. 

We will also report any statements youth make regarding violence (physical, mental, emotional, verbal, etc) towards them and/or regarding any other members of their household to the West Seneca Police Department. 

Any youth who brings over-the-counter, prescribed, illegal, and/or any other types of drugs, alcohol, and/or weapons to the program will be reported to the West Seneca Police Department. 

The Town of West Seneca reserves the right to contact the West Seneca Police Department regarding any situation, at any time, for any reason. Parents may or may not be notified.

What if I pay West Seneca School District Taxes but not West Seneca Property Taxes?
Paying WSCSD School District taxes has never qualified someone for Resident Status. To be considered a Resident the address you reside at must pay Town of West Seneca property taxes. School District taxes do not qualify you for Resident Status. In regards to taxes, school taxes and town property taxes are two separate tax bases. School taxes only go to the West Seneca Central School District and do not come back to the Town of West Seneca to fund any Town facilities/services. Town of West Seneca property taxes fund the Town of West Seneca Recreation Department (and other departments, services, and facilities). The Recreation Department/Programs/Facilities are Town of West Seneca entities. Due to this, the discounted rate is for those who pay Town of West Seneca property taxes). If you have questions regarding what is covered by your school district tax bill please contact the school district directly. If you have questions regarding what your property taxes cover, please contact the town directly that you pay property taxes in.

Account Creation
We are proud to provide you with our activity registration system and website. For an overview please click here. To get started please Create an Account with all your household information. The data provided - emergency contacts, medical information, etc. - will help us better serve you. This info will also be automatically placed into your registration forms.

Please note that if you enter your address incorrectly (or any other information) at the time of account creation, you could be assessed as a Non-Resident and assigned Non-Resident status. The department will not be notified by the system of this. You will need to contact our office, during our regular hours of operation if you believe you were assigned the incorrect status (Non-Resident if you reside at an address that pays Town of West Seneca property taxes). This could take our office 1-5 business days to correct. We will not hold a spot in any program, for any reason, at any time. If the system believes you entered your address incorrectly and is assigning you Non-Resident status, it will provide you with an error message and the opportunity to correct the issue (be assigned Resident status) or choose to remain as a Non-Resident. Please take your time when creating your account and ensure your details are entered correctly, to avoid any issues.

* Adjustments and discounts will be applied during checkout if applicable. *
