By entering the Silverthorne Recreation Center, you agree that all use of the Towns facilities, amenities, services, and/or programs shall be at your sole risk and the Town shall not be liable for any injuries, accidents, or deaths occurring to you, arising either directly or indirectly out of your use of those facilities, amenities, services and/or programs. You, as a guest of our facility, do hereby expressly release, discharge, waive, relinquish, and covenant not to sue the Town of Silverthorne or its employees, officers, or agents for all such claims, demands, injuries, damages, or cause of action, with respect to use of Town of Silverthorne’s recreational facilities, amenities, services and/or programs.

The Recreation and Culture Department has established a code of conduct to ensure safety and enjoyment in our facility. We reserve the right to deny admission and/or take disciplinary action against any individual violating that code of conduct. A violation includes but is not limited to, the use of obscene language or gestures, disorderly conduct, theft, public intoxication, sexual misconduct, indecency, harassment, excessive noise and odors, failure to cooperate with staff, possession of weapons of any kind, non-compliance with established policies and rules, any unlawful activity and any other behavior deemed offensive or unacceptable.

The Silverthorne Recreation Center is a family Recreation Center operated for the benefit of the community. It is essential to the enjoyment of its patrons that a non-threatening, pleasant atmosphere be maintained and that the behavior of a patron not be allowed to disrupt the experience of others. Center rules are intended to achieve this goal by imposing the minimum restrictions necessary on the action of any individual.

Suspension of facility privileges shall be done at the discretion of any Silverthorne Recreation Management Staff. Depending on the severity of the offense the suspension can be as little as asking the individual to leave for the remainder of the day or as much as a permanent suspension. When applicable, first time suspensions will be handled with a 24 hour suspension from the facility. Repetitive infractions will result in increasingly longer suspensions or revocation of facility privileges indefinitely.

If offense occurs in league play please refer to the Player Code of Conduct. Suspensions for additional violations will be determined on an individual basis by the Silverthorne Recreation Center management team. The nature and seriousness of the offense will determine the length of the suspension. Aggravated circumstances, even for a first offense, may warrant a longer period of suspension.

Appeals

Any person opposed to the action to suspend the use of the Center may appeal the action by filing a statement in writing setting forth the reason(s) such person believes the suspension is improper. Such appeal shall be considered and ruled upon by the Recreation Center Manager and Recreation and Culture Director. The appeal shall be acted upon in a timely manner, not later than two weeks following its filing. The Recreation Center Manager and the Recreation and Culture Director, as they deem appropriate, may conduct a hearing at which time the person filing the appeal may appear and present testimony and witnesses. The decision of the Recreation Center Manager, and the Recreation and Culture Director shall be final. Suspension shall continue in effect pending the appeal.

Minors

The parent(s) of a minor must be notified if their child has been suspended from the Center. The supervisor on duty is responsible for such notification. Detailed incident reports must be prepared for each incident by the supervisor on duty. Name of the parties involved, addresses, phone numbers, description of incident and action taken should be included on all reports. Copies of all reports are to be reviewed by the Recreation and Culture Director, Facility Coordinator, and the Recreation Coordinator of the area the incident occurred. Then the copy of the report should be filed in the Facility Coordinator’s office, and any incident(s) involving staff, high dollar damage, or the police, a report will be delivered to the Director of Administrative Services.

If an individual is requested to leave the facility and has made prior transportation arrangements, the individual will be allowed to sit quietly in the front lobby to wait for their ride.

If an individual is suspended for any reason outlined within this policy, no refunds of daily admission fees or annual pass user fees shall be granted.

Definition of a Service Animal

Service animals include any dog that is individually trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities, including physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Dogs are the only animal that can be classified as a service animal under the ADA. Service animals do not always have a harness, a sign, or a symbol indicating that they are service animals. A service animal is not a pet.

Service animals assist in many different ways, such as:

• Seeing-eye dogs, trained to guide individuals with visual impairments;
• Hearing dogs, trained to alert individuals with hearing loss when sound occurs;
• Psychiatric dogs, trained to detect the onset of psychiatric episodes to lessen their effects. Tasks include reminding the individual to take medication, providing safety check or room searches, or turning on lights for persons with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and keeping disoriented individuals from danger;
• Seizure response dogs, trained to assist an individual with seizures; and
• Sensory signal dogs, trained to assist individuals with autism.

Determination

Most of the time, people with disabilities who use service animals may be easily identified without any need for questioning. If you are unsure whether a dog is a service animal covered under the ADA, only two questions may be asked:

• Is this dog required because of a disability?
• What work or task has the dog been trained to preform?

These questions may not be asked under any circumstances:

• What is your disability?
• May I see the animal’s license or certification?
• Can the animal demonstrate its ability to perform the task for me?

If the dog is a service animal, the dog must be permitted to accompany the person to all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go.

Emotional Support Animals, or “therapy” dogs are not covered under the ADA therefore are not required to be permitted into the facility.

Responsibilities

Management has the right to exclude a service animal from our premises if the dog is out of control from the handler, acts aggressively, or the dog is not housebroken. Only the Recreation Center Manager or designated Manager on Duty can decide to exclude a service animal from the overall facility.

Appropriate workout attire is required in the weight room and cardio areas, (i.e., shirts, sports tops, close toed shoes…).

To avoid congestion and lines, guests are asked to progress through their workout being aware of others in the area and of the amount of time that they are spending on each piece of equipment. We ask that guests allow others to work in between sets. Sign up boards are provided to encourage fair use of all equipment. Use of the cardio equipment is limited to 30 minutes per machine.

• Clean up machines and benches after use.
• Rack all weights.
• No dropping of weights, except for the bumper plates on designated platform.
• The use of chalk is prohibited.
• No foul language or excessive noises.

All instruction on Town Property is to be conducted by Town Employees or contracted employees only. Any instruction by any other party, reimbursed or receiving other forms of compensation is prohibited. No such activity should take place on premises without the express written consent of Town Staff before the start of said training.

The Silverthorne Recreation Center or areas within the center are subject to closure(s) for maintenance, modifications, cleaning, and in extreme cases, inclement weather.

Extensions on passes will not be granted during facility closure for annual maintenance.

If class sessions are scheduled and the Center is closed, the Recreation Coordinator responsible for the class shall make every effort to contact the registered participants and instructors. Drop-in classes are subject to change or cancellation without prior notification.

In case of closure the Recreation & Culture and the local radio station, KYSL 513-9393, will be notified. The facility may be closed up to two times per year for maintenance. The staff will work with the Breckenridge Recreation Center to exchange pass members admittance while the Center is closed for maintenance.

A person over 3 years must have an individual pass or be part of a family pass to qualify for the passholder rate. A child who is 3 years or younger is eligible for the passholder rate because they are too young for passes.

Registrations for all Recreation and Culture Department classes and programs are taken during regular business hours by telephone, or in person and are taken on first come first served basis. Registrations are also available online for most programs, classes and base rate passes.

Recreation Center Individual Activity/Program Waiver 

All activities/programs require participant or parent/guardian of participant to accept a liability waiver prior to attending. This is done automatically when registering for the activity/program.

I recognize that activities and services I take advantage of at Town facilities may result in injury, death, illness or damage to myself, my property, or to others, including but not limited to injuries caused by negligence and / or the action of third parties. In consideration of the Town permitting me to use the facilities, I, for myself, my heirs, executors and assigns (and / or if applicable, my parent or guardian) waive, indemnify and release the Town, its officers, employees, and agents from all claims, damages, loss or liabilities of any kind arising out of or relating to injuries or accidents sustained by me or my property at the facilities. I understand I am waiving any right to bring or have brought on my behalf any such claims or lawsuits against the Town by signing this release and using the facilities.

The Town of Silverthorne may videotape, or photograph participants enrolled in programs/classes which may be used in future publications, marketing promotions, brochures, or flyers.

Guests must show a current pass or pay the daily admission fee to use the facility prior to or after a class. The only exception is children who are enrolled in swimming lessons. In this situation child may swim up to one hour after their lesson.

The parent and any other children not enrolled in lessons must pay the daily admission or show their pass to use the pool. Age requirements & pool rules must be followed.

Individuals on a program waitlist will receive one to three automated emails from silverthornerec@rectrac.com when a space becomes available.

• Email 1: Enrollment offer: 48 hours to ACCEPT or DENY.
• Email 2: Reminder: 24 hours remaining to ACCEPT or DENY.
• Email 3: Enrollment offer automatically EXPIRED after 48 hours*.

*If you are interested in enrolling but missed the opportunity to claim a space, login to your account to reregister for the waitlist.  

**Approximately one week prior to program start date, available waitlist space will be managed by staff, instead of the automated system. If space becomes available, you will be contacted via phone call or email, your required response time will vary. 

Silverthorne strives to provide regular programming for all ages; however, there are times when it is necessary to cancel programs. In the unlikely event of a program cancellation, information will be distributed through radio, Facebook and/or e-mail as appropriate.

All children’s programming (ages 18 months-18 years) at the Silverthorne Recreation Center will be cancelled when Summit County School District (SCSD) holds a district wide school cancellation. Silverthorne will not automatically cancel after school programs when SCSD cancels their after school programs.

If a program is cancelled, a pro-rated refund will automatically be placed on your household account. To receive this refund by another method a request must be made with the front desk.

The Silverthorne Recreation Center has updated its program cancellation policy. Program cancellations must be made at least seven days in advance of program start to receive a full refund.

Cancellations made less than seven days prior to program start are subject to Program Coordinator’s approval. Coordinator will assess class minimums, staffing and supplies to determine if a late cancellation can be made. If a late cancellation is granted, an administration fee of at least 25% will be assessed.

Cancellations requested after a program has started are also subject to Coordinator approval. Participants must contact the Coordinator as soon as possible, and no later than after two classes are missed. Refunds, if granted, will be prorated with an additional 25% administrative fee of total class cost. 

Cancellations due to injury or illness will be given prorated refunds upon request. Refund requests due to injury or illness must be made within fourteen days of last class. This includes refunds requested due to COVID-19 related reasons.

It is expected that participants may miss a class during session based classes. By paying, participants are securing a spot in the class, not paying of their attendance in the class. Therefore, prorates and refunds are not granted for missed classes.
