RecPASS is an annual membership that is linked with our registration software which allows for unlimited visits to any Charles County Recreation Division drop-in programs for a single annual fee. An annual Pool Pass is also available for purchase which allows for unlimited visits to any of our aquatic facilities in addition to recreation use. You will receive a key-fob when purchasing a RecPASS, and your picture will be taken and linked to your account in our registration software. At each visit, your key-fob will be scanned for admission. The RecPASS can be purchased as an individual, couple, parent & child, or family options.
What programs/activities can I use RecPASS for?
The basic Charles County RecPASS will be accepted for any drop-in and open gym programs that are offered at school-based community centers, the Port Tobacco Recreation Center, Elite Gymnastics and Recreation Center, and Waldorf Senior and Recreational Center. Drop-in programs may include basketball, volleyball, futsal, pickleball, table tennis, and will be scheduled by age group and sport. Residents will also have the option to purchase a Pool Pass as part of their RecPASS which would allow for visits to any of our Charles County Recreation Division operated aquatic facilities.
