After classes begin, refunds will be made for the following reasons only: 1) Illness or Injury 2) Moving from the Blount County area 3) Cancellation of the program by Parks & Rec.  Refunds will be prorated according to the number of classes already held.  All refunds are subject to a $2.00 administrative cost charge, unless the program has been cancelled by Parks & Rec.
