Sessions

We offer three contracted program sessions each year—Winter/Spring, Summer, and Fall—providing instructors with consistent opportunities to offer classes throughout the year. This seasonal structure allows you to plan ahead, build enrollment, and grow your program while staying aligned with the City’s Recreation Guide publication schedule.

  • Winter/Spring Session (January-April)
  • Summer Session (May-August)
  • Fall Session (September-December)

Once the application and onboarding process are complete, you will be invited to submit a Contract Instructor Recreation Class Proposal, which allows instructors to propose classes for upcoming program sessions as part of the triannual contracting process.
