POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

GENERAL POLICIES

All vehicles must stop at the gatehouse for us to check stickers, collect guest fees and direct rental groups. Membership stickers must be affixed to the windshield for ease of entrance. Stickers not affixed must be turned into the main office so other arrangements can be made for your vehicle.

Windows on vehicles must be rolled down so gate attendants can speak to drivers and verify membership.

Members are limited to six guests per day at the guest fees listed below. Larger groups must contact Donna in the office at (860) 677-1370 so special arrangements can be made.

Guest fees are $6.00 per adult and $4.00 per child (3 to 15 yrs. old). Discount guest passes may be purchased in advance from the Main Office or at the gate.

Guests must park their vehicles outside the gate along the edge of the entrance roadway.

Members should park in the designated lots and not on the grass. Parking along the road creates visual problems.

No dogs or other pets are allowed in the park.

Drive slowly in the park. Speed limit in the park is 15 MPH. Bikers, walkers and rollerbladers utilize the roadway as well as the cars.

Please dispose of diapers by wrapping in a plastic bag before putting in the trash receptacles. Use the baby changing stations and not the picnic tables for changing.

Toddlers/Babies must wear swim diapers in the lake.

Please put trash and recyclables in the proper receptacles. Please no glass containers.

No fireworks on the grounds.

No motorized vehicles on trails.

DUNNING LAKE POLICES

Please dispose of diapers by wrapping in a plastic bag before putting in the trash receptacles.

Use the baby changing stations and not the picnic tables for changing.

All infant/toddlers must wear water diapers. No disposable diapers in the lake.

The Lake water is tested monthly for bacteria counts. These results will be posted at the beach. Dunning Lake has always been acceptable for swimming.

Please put trash and recyclables in the proper receptacles. No glass containers please.

No bubbles, waterwings, inflatable rafts and other floating devices in the lake. They give children a false sense of security. Coast guard approved lifejackets are acceptable but cannot be used to aid child in getting to the rafts.

The lifeguards are here to protect everyone. Please respect their authority and judgment.

Keep paths in front of lifeguard chairs free of chairs, towels, umbrellas, and beach toys.

PROGRAM REGISTRATION

Members will be given a two-week priority for program registration. However, some programs may be opened to non-members at a higher fee to support the class. Please contact the main office to see if a specific program will be available to non-members.

REGISTRATION POLICY

Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis with members having a first priority.

Participants will be notified only if class is filled or if the class has been cancelled. Unless you are notified, assume that you are enrolled in the class that you registered for. Waiting Lists are kept for all programs.

A $25.00 FEE WILL BE ASSESSED FOR ALL BOUNCED CHECKS!

PROGRAM CANCELLATION POLICY

Winding Trails reserves the right to cancel any program due to low enrollment numbers. Please register early!

Two working days prior to the start date for each program, a decision will be made to cancel or run the program. If cancelled, you will be notified by Winding Trails and will receive a full refund.

Winding Trails reserves the right to combine or divide classes, to change the time, date, and/or location and to make other revisions in these offerings, which may become necessary.

Every effort will be made to make up classes. However, activities cancelled due to circumstances beyond the control of Winding Trails will not be made up or refunded.

REFUND POLICY

Since programs are self-supporting and commitments need to be made to instructors and staff, the following is Winding Trails refund policy:

Full refunds, minus a $5.00 processing fee, will be given when requested up to one (1) week prior to the start of the program.

Once the decision has been made to run a particular program, no refund will be given unless Winding Trails can find a substitute, or there is a medical emergency.

Absolutely no refunds will be given for any used portion of a program.

All refunds will follow the Finance Department’s bill paying schedule. There will be no cash refunds. Allow two (2) to four (4) weeks to process a refund.

PLEASE NOTE: If you require a reasonable modification to rules, policies or practices, the removal of architectural, communication or transportation barriers, or the provision of auxiliary aides and services to participate, you should forward your request for such accommodations to Winding Trails along with any special needs that you would like to discuss.
