Information
Mission Statement
2
The Kennebunk Recreation Department is committed to promoting and providing our community residents with
outstanding service, recreational programs, parks and facilities that create leisure opportunities in a safe and
healthy environment which meets the needs of participants and enhances their quality of life.
Volunteers: Volunteers are essential to this department. They enable us to provide a much larger program format at a considerable savings to the community.
Volunteers in turn receive hours of enjoyment in an activity or program in which they have a strong interest. The department is always looking for more volunteers for
special events and field trips, to set up programs, or for a program they might like to start. Please help us set up a volunteer list by contacting the department and then
by giving a few hours of your time to a very worthwhile program or activity. Please be advised all volunteers must fill out a volunteer application and go through the
interview process before being considered to volunteer for any program.
Check your receipt at time of registration and prior to participating in a program: Participants may only participate in the time slot, day, and/or session that they
have registered for as printed on their receipt. Please understand often times programs fill to capacity and we may not be able to change your time slot, day, and/or
session after leaving the office, regardless of a change you would like made or an error that you would like corrected.
Program Times: It is very important that parents not only know the time a program begins but also what time it is over so that arrangements are made to have their
child picked up on time. The recreation staff is paid only for the scheduled hours of a program, so if you are late the instructor who must wait with your child is on
his/her own unpaid time. The department charges a late fee to any parent or guardian who is late picking up a child. Please be conscious of this and respect the private
time of our staff, most of whom have other jobs or personal matters to which they need to attend.
Late Fees: 10-15 minutes $10, 15-30 minutes $15, Anything over 30 minutes is $30. If the participant’s parent, guardian or adult approved to pick up the child is
late in picking up their child 2 times throughout the duration of the program and/or more than 40 minutes late at any time, a meeting will be set up with the Director to
discuss if the participant will be allowed to continue the program. The participant will not be able to participate in the program until this meeting has taken place.
Payment of late fees is expected at the time of pick-up. If we do not receive payment at time of pick-up, it will be charged to your account and must be paid in order to
register for any further programs.
Schedule Times: The department reserves the right to cancel or rearrange any of the programs listed. Refunds will be issued if a program is canceled or a change does
not fit your schedule.
School Facilities: Please be aware that R.S.U. #21 has priority over all school facilities. This may possibly cause recreation programs to be canceled or a time/location
change. Should this happen, we will make every effort to contact participants.
Programs for the Disabled: The programs listed in this catalog are available for all to participate. If you or your child have a disability and are not sure whether your
needs will be met in any program or activity, please contact the director. We may be able to adjust the program to meet your needs or find another to suit you.
American with Disabilities Act
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Town of Kennebunk invites you to identify any
physical or mental disability or behavior that would preclude you from fully participating in the Kennebunk Recreation programs. The Town is fully committed to
complying with the requirements of the Acts set forth above. In this regard, the Town, to extent required by law, will provide reasonable accommodations to
participants who require them in order to participate in the program. Individuals with disabilities are not required to self-identify at any time. However, the Town is
only required to provide reasonable accommodations for known disabilities. The Town is not required to search medical files in order to determine the existence of a
disability. If your child needs a reasonable accommodation(s) in order for your child to participate in our program, you must contact the office a minimum
of 1 week before the program.
Discipline: If your child misbehaves or does not adhere to the department’s rules and regulations and/or is not listening to our instructors while participating in any of
our programs a written warning will be issued. Written warnings must be signed by the participant's parent or guardian. Written warnings are kept on file at the office
and are cumulative. A copy of this written warning will be forwarded to the Director for review and possible disciplinary action which includes any or all of the
following: Conditional Participation; Suspension Single/All Program(s), Expulsion; Single/All Programs(s), and/or Restitution. Any disciplinary action will be
imposed without program fee refunds. Please be advised that the department reserves the right to remove a participant from a program at any time during the
course of the program if the department feels that the participants actions are a threat to the well being and safety of the other children and/or staff.
Smoking Policy: In compliance with Maine State Law, there will be no smoking allowed while participating in any Recreation program/activity or while in any
recreation facility. The Kennebunk Recreation Department does hereby declare that its Recreation facilities are tobacco-free zones and specifically restricts the use of
any tobacco product, including, but not limited to cigarette, cigars, and chewing tobacco, on, in, or at any athletic facility, playground, or assembly under the authority
of the Town of Kennebunk Recreation Department.
Find A Mistake? It is our policy to include something for everyone. Since some people like to find errors, we leave a few in our catalog just to meet this need.
Please be aware that we reserve the right to correct and change any of the information in our catalogs, flyers or any other print generated from our office.
Pictures: We randomly choose pictures of adults and children who participate in our programs to be printed in our publications and to be sent out to area publications.
If you or your child do not wish to have his/her picture published, please be sure to let us know immediately at registration.
T-Shirts: Please be aware that you must be registered at least 10 days prior to the program start date to receive a t-shirt, if the camp/program includes a t-shirt.
Vandalism: Each year Kennebunk taxpayers must cover the cost of repairing or replacing park facilities and vegetation that has been willfully destroyed. Since parks
are unsupervised, it is difficult for Park Staff to catch the vandals who cause this damage. You can assist by reporting any acts of vandalism to the Police at 985-6121.
Suggestions: If you have a suggestion for a future program or wish to be an instructor or coach for one of our programs, please contact the Kennebunk Recreation
Department at (207)604-1335.
Sponsorship: The Kennebunk Recreation Department is always in need of sponsors for our sport programs and special events. If your business, company or
organization is interested please contact our office.

June 14 - The Scharff Brothers
July 19 - Delta Knights
The Scharff Brothers have been around the block. They got
lost, asked for directions, got back in the van, got lost
again, showed up late for the show, in the snow, up hill both
ways… and still somehow seem to have way more fun than
any non-famous, non-rich people should be allowed to
have. That is a Scharff Brothers show. No matter what song
they play it sounds as if it were written by the Brothers.
Their harmonies and execution are seamless and
effortless.
Spend the early 'Knight' with the Delta Knights as they
perform their award winning blues, R&B, swing and classic
rock selections. Winners of the 1996 Portland Road to
Memphis Blues Competition & 1996 finalists in The
International Blues Talent Competition.

Shakespeare in the Park Shows
MaineStage Shakespeare returns to Lafayette Park for its SEVENTH season of FREE outdoor performances (donations
encouraged!) of Shakespeare’s plays. Bring a blanket, pack a picnic and treat the whole family! For the 2017 season, we

SHOW SUMMARIES
A Midsummer’s Night Dream - Helena loves Demetrius…who loves Hermia…who loves Lysander. For these four Athenian
teens, love is far from a straight line. When they end up in the forest realm of the estranged King and Queen of the fairies (also
the rehearsal spot for a crew of amateur actors) the result is a night of mischief, mayhem, magic – and one of Shakespeare's
most hilarious comedies. Ranging from gut-busting slapstick to surprising tenderness and back again, A Midsummer Night's
Dream reassures us that love works out in the end…even if we make fools of ourselves in the process.
The Winter’s Tale - Leontes, King of Sicilia, has a loving wife, a bright young son, and a happy kingdom, but despite it all, he
falls prey to his own jealousy. When Leontes accuses his wife, Hermione, of being unfaithful, he sets into motion his own
downfall. But from these grim origins, A Winter's Tale launches into one of Shakespeare's most unexpected works, featuring
lovely shepherdesses, charming con-artists, and a bear. A whimsical fable with pleasures for optimists and pessimists alike, A
Winter's Tale reminds us all that it's never too late for redemption.
