The Family pass and the Family+ passes are meant to be used together.

All families are not the same. In recognition of this, we are offering the Family+ pass add-ons to allow you to tailor your Family pass to fit your household. The Family+ passes cannot be purchased as a stand-alone pass. Family+ passes can only be purchased with a Family pass of the same duration. To purchase this pass, all family members included on the Family pass and the Family+ pass must live in the same household and be included on the same household ParksDirect account.

Groups are welcome to all M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation aquatic facilities during the summer.

Parties of 10 or more visitors are considered groups; they require advance reservations at the facility of interest.

Guidelines

Please review the guidelines below to help ensure a smooth reservation process and a safe visit to our aquatic facilities:

• Group requests must be submitted using the Group/Camp Reservation Request Form (PDF) and returned to the hosting facility beginning May 9 and at least 48 hours prior to the date of the requested visit.
• These group requests are not confirmed until the hosting facility has provided the group with written confirmation via fax, mail, or email with a rental number.
• For summer reservations, group requests will be accepted starting May 9. Requests are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. These summer group requests will not be accepted prior to May 9. Please do not fax/email your requests prior to May 9.
• Groups must have a PARKS DIRECT account. To open a PARKS DIRECT account, the group/organization name, address, telephone number, and group contact information must be provided at the time of reservation.
• This information must be submitted using the official Group/Camp Reservation Form PDF or your company/organizational letterhead.
• All visiting groups making reservations must adhere to applicable Maryland state laws and regulations concerning supervisors and the ratio of supervisors to children. For example, Maryland state law generally defines a counselor as someone 18 years or older and sets forth supervisor-to-child ratios of:
  • 1:10 – 1 Supervisor/Counselor for every 10 children for groups with children ages 6 and older.
  • 1:5 – 1 Supervisor/Counselor for every 5 children for groups with children 5 years old or younger. The 1:5 supervision ratio applies if your entire group consists of children 5 years old or younger or if your group has any amount of 5-year-old or younger participants.

• Groups meeting these supervision ratios will be offered discounted admission fees for their supervisors/counselors.
• Supervisors/counselors must remain with the children in the group at the poolside or in the pool.
• Children must be supervised throughout the facility including lobby areas, locker rooms, grass/patio areas, snack bars, and pool and deck areas.
  • If pool management determines that any child within a visiting group is not being actively supervised, the group may be subject to removal from the facility and termination of future reservations. No refunds will be issued.
• Groups are responsible for providing adequate additional supervision for children with disabilities or special needs. Groups that have children with special needs must notify the facility at the time of reservation or prior to arriving on their scheduled date.

Fee Requirements

• Resident and Non-Resident group fee determination is based on the location of the sponsoring group/organization, not individuals supervising or within the group.
• Groups meeting the above supervision ratios will be offered discounted admission fees for supervisors/counselors.
• Additional adults within the group are subject to the admission fees below.
