GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATION
IN
CARLSBAD SENIOR CENTER ACTIVITIES*
EXHIBIT 1
The Carlsbad Senior Center is a multi-purpose facility designed to assist Older
Persons in meeting their social, physical,· recreational, and intellectual needs and
interests.
Activities* at the Center are open to all 50 years and older, regardless of
residency, on a first-come-first-serve basis. Carlsbad residents are the primary
focus for the Center activities and programs.
An older person, for the purposes of the Center and these guidelines, shall be
defined as an individual 50 years of age or older.
Should registration for various ongoing Center activities* reach capacity and
interested Carlsbad Residents are being excluded due to non-resident
participation, the Senior Commission may review these "Guidelines for
Participation" on a case-by-case basis and modify these as needed.
All activities/classes offered at the Senior Center shall have a minimum and
maximum enrollment. The minimum and maximum levels of participation will be
determined by room capacity and the type of activity. One day workshops or
multi-class contract classes that do not meet the minimum registration will not be
held. The activity will be given 2 months to bring registration to the minimum
enrollment level. The staff and the instructor/leader shall work together to
advertise and promote the activity. If the minimum enrollment level is not met
within that time frame, the class/activity may be canceled.
* Activities defined herein do not include the Senior Grant Programs or Mira Costa
College Classes for which separate Guidelines have been developed. Neither
does this definition include one time events (i.e. dances, lectures, etc.) ..
