MAIL-INS & WALK-INS & NON-RESIDENTS START AUGUST 29 for all others - residents & non-residents   (If space remains)  Please realize that a program may be filled by online registrations.
Send / bring COMPLETED form (click below) & a check payable: "Town of Norwell", Recreation, P.O. Box 295, Norwell, MA 02061.  Visit our office at 345 Main St. on Mon-Thurs; 9a-2p. "Drop Offs" are possible anytime by using the gray drop box on the circular drive at the front of the Town Offices.

How to watch a good program die!  ALL Programs have limits & DEADLINES, so don't delay!  The DEADLINES FOR MOST FALL ACTIVITIES IS ONE (1) WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST SESSION , unless otherwise noted or already filled.  If programs do not have the minimum numbers by deadlines, it could be cancelled. Great programs take advance planning! If programs have minimum numbers but are not full, registrations will continue but please do not delay to long!

CANCELLATIONS, WITHDRAWALS & REFUNDS: All refund requests must be in writing (email office at: recreation@townofnorwell.net).  The online service fee is non-refundable.  Program fees will be refunded if a program is full, cancelled by Norwell Rec or if you withdraw before the activity deadline.  After the activity deadline, participant withdrawals before the program begins will receive a refund minus a $10 processing fee provided the minimum participation level has been achieved.  No other refunds will be given as program expenses (instructors and supplies) will have already been incurred.  We'll email cancellations or post on on the website under the specific activity. Refunds to credit cards are more efficient than "town refund checks" .


Registrations are accepted on a first-paid, first served basis to Norwell residents. Sorry, no phone reservations.   Credit cards are only accepted online - not in the office.  Late registrations must pay full fees, no pro-rating. [Non-residents may register online, mailin or walkin beginning August 29, space permitting.]

Confirmations? Online registrations receive confirmation, receipt by email & you may access your family schedule at "My Account" online.  Please check / click on your email receipts links carefully & note all information on your calendar.
"Transaction" confirmation emails are auto generated and can include the following business transactions: "Enroll"  means You Got In the Activity, "Wait List" means You Are Not In the Activity (it's Full  but You are On a Wait List & you did not pay for it), or "Refund" means you withdrew before deadlines or the program was cancelled.  If you are on a wait list, we will call when an opening becomes available. Please do not show up at the activity until you are enrolled.  
        Office sign-ups are confirmed if an email address is given (& legible)  Otherwise, we do not send confirmations.  You are enrolled upon our receipt of your payment & form.  We will notify you if a program is full, cancelled or there is a problem with your registration or a change to the activity. Please note all information on your calendar! 

Norwell Recreation reserves the right to change program details as needed due to enrollment numbers, available resources, weather, etc.  You will be notified of any changes.
