One week left to register for baseball

There is one week left to register for this year's youth baseball leagues; the deadline for registration is Thursday, May 1.

Registrations are available at the recreation office and are also available for download through the recreation department link at www.townofpagosasprings.com.

Registrations have also been disbursed to local schools, and parents are reminded that all registrations need to be submitted to the recreation office in Town Hall.

The recreation office is accepting registrations for coach-pitch division, (ages 6, 7 and 8) and the 9- and 10-year-old division.

The office will also accept registrations for the 11-12 division and the 13-14 division, but if the number of registrations turned in is not sufficient to support leagues in these age brackets (at least two teams), registration fees will be refunded and the leagues will be canceled.

Cost to participate in the program is $25 per player and $15 for each additional child in the same, immediate family who participates. Team coaches and sponsors are needed and appreciated.

The season is tentatively scheduled to begin in late May; for more information, call the recreation office at 264-4151 Ext. 231 or 232.

Park Fun

This year's Park Fun program for children ages 5-12 will be held Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm.

Early registration will take place in late May at Town hall. The first day off Park Fun will begin Tuesday, June 3. The program runs through Thursday, July 31st.

The new home base is the Pagosa Springs Community Center, located adjacent to Town Hall on Hot Springs Boulevard.

Drop-offs (8 a.m.) and pick-ups (5 p.m.) will be made there each day. We are "on our way" by 9 a.m. each day and back by 4:30 p.m. Cell-phone contact is available all day, every day. Weekly schedules will be available each Friday for the following week.

Park Fun is a flexible program structured to meet your needs in every way. We have differentiated, age-based activities as well as a flexible sign-up plan.

You may enroll for a week at a time for a discounted rate of $100 per week for five-day care. This figure equates to $20 per day, or a mere $2 per hour for 10-hour daycare.

In addition, a 50-percent discount is applied for siblings. The daily rate is $25 per day.

Campers pack their own lunches, water bottles and sunscreen; all other costs are included (except for special events.)
