Refund Policy

You may request a withdrawal either by calling 847-692-5127 or by submitting a completed Program Withdrawal Request form in person or by email to recreation@prparks.org. If you withdraw from a program prior to the start, a full program fee minus a $5 administrative fee will be applied as a credit to your Park District account.

If, for any reason, you would like to be reimbursed instead of credited, please allow two to three weeks for refund processing. After the start, a prorated program fee, minus the $5 administrative fee, will be issued as a credit based on the date of the request. The district may prorate the expenses already incurred in advance for any program or event. No refunds will be issued after the third class.

No refunds will be issued for trips after the deadline date, one-day classes/programs, special events, outdoor swimming pool passes/memberships, ice skating passes/memberships, and facility rentals canceled within 30 days of the rental activity, EXCEPT in cases of illness, injury, or moving out-of-district, or at the discretion of the Superintendent of Recreation.

For program changes and refunds for Brickton Art Center programs, please call 847-823-6611.

  • Refund amounts will be issued according to the specific deadlines indicated on the Camp Withdrawal Chart listed below.
  • A refund will be issued as a household (HH) credit on the primary account unless asked for the refund to be returned to the form of payment used when registering. 
  • Withdrawal deadlines and fees are per camper, per session, per camp. 
  • A full credit will be issued if the District cancels any summer camp.
