If Portsmouth Recreation is forced to cancel a program, a full refund will be issued by check by the City of Portsmouth. 

Refund requests must be submitted in writing (email is fine) and will be granted up until two weeks before the start of the program. Refunds are issued in the form of a check and usually take two to three weeks to process. If a request is made within two weeks prior to the start of the program, refunds will be given for medical reasons or if the Recreation Department is able to fill the spot with another participant. A pro-rated refund may be given if the participant attended any sessions.
