Refund Policy

Milwaukee Recreation is dedicated to providing all customers with complete program satisfaction. We understand that, from time to time, scheduling changes and special circumstances require you to cancel or change your planned activities.

In an effort to maximize space in each activity, we have established the following refund policies. Please review them carefully prior to enrollment. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 414-475-8180. Thank you for your interest in our programs. We look forward to providing you with an enjoyable recreation experience!

Please note: not all classes are eligible for refunds. Additionally, classes and activities costing less than $10 are non-refundable. Please consult the class activity descriptions in the latest Recreation Guide for any exceptions to our refund policies.

If Milwaukee Recreation cancels a class:

Full refunds are made for any class/activity canceled by Milwaukee Recreation. A refund check will automatically be generated and mailed to all participants enrolled in a class that is canceled by Milwaukee Recreation. Refund checks will be mailed within 2-4 weeks of the class cancelation. Payments made by credit/debit card for canceled classes will be credited back to the credit/debit card within 2-4 weeks.

Class Transfers:

Transferring prior to the start of classes: If you would like to transfer into a class that costs more than your original class, you must pay the difference in class fees prior to attending the new class. Payment can be made at the Recreation Center. If the class you are transferring into costs less than your original class, you will receive a refund for the difference.

Transferring after the start of classes: No refunds will be given if you are transferring into a less expensive class after classes have started. You will also be charged for any difference in fees when going from a less expensive to a more expensive class.
