We strive to operate our programs regardless of weather - canceling is a last resort. However:
- While most programs will be held despite the weather, schedules and drop-off points may change.
- Should lightning be a factor, outdoor activities may be moved indoors.
- If a snow emergency is declared in Howard County, programs may be closed early or canceled.
- If a snow emergency is declared in Howard County, all parks are closed.
- If schools are closed, delayed or dismissed early due to inclement weather or if the Board of Education suspends after-school activities, Recreation and Parks programs in schools may be affected.
- In the event of inclement weather, call the Inclement Weather/Program Status numbers below for up-to-date information.
- You should check with your instructor about make-up dates for canceled sessions.
- Review the Extreme Heat Policy, which provides guidelines for staff and facilities when the National Weather Service announces a Heat Advisory or a Heat Warning.
