4 • Summer 2016
Dear Residents, This month is significant to the history of the Fox Valley Park District and its service to its constituents. As an agency, we celebrated our 70-year anniversary earlier this month. So much progress has been made in just a couple of generation’s time – and yet so much opportunity remains. We continue to pursue the pillars of our industry as set forth by the National Recreation and Park Association; Health & Wellness, Conservation, and Social Equity. Our staff is building new cultures of evidence to support results-based programs aligned with these tenets. Recent successes in each area include Silver Sneakers at our Prisco Fitness Center, recognition as Conservation at Work site by The Conservation Foundation, and the formation of a transitional job mentoring program for those with disabilities. These are just a few of the innovative and collaborative ways we look to enhance our services to the community. The April elections marked another milestone, as the Fox Valley Park District has its first-ever elected board. Our new Board of Commissioners will set the policy and governance for our district, and will be sworn in to their roles on May 1. We are thankful to have active, volunteer-minded individuals willing to serve in this capacity. We’re also mindful of the many years of service by previous board members and their contributions to the overall excellence we strive for. I encourage you to visit our website to acquaint yourself with our board, meeting schedules and agenda for further knowledge of how our unit of local government operates. Now, in the words of my good friend and our official mascot Parker T. Fox, let’s find “where fun begins.” Turn the pages ahead for a look at awesome summer events – from aquatic parks to Blackberry Farm, Red Oak Nature Center, Concerts in the Park, summer camps, and programs at all our wonderful facilities. Summer is a standout season for events and programs.

Parker Says... Summer’s almost here and I can feel the excitement! Splash into fun at either of our water parks this summer, and save if you buy a pass by May 31. A family of four can enjoy unlimited access to either Splash or Phillips for just $220. Keeping kids active and healthy is part of my job, and summer camps are a great way to do that. Check out our full list of camps at incredible sites starting on page 10! All-day, partial day, or specialty themed options are available to suit your needs. Our biggest events happen in the summer too. Check out the Mid-Am Canoe & Kayak Race, Golf for Kids, Amazing Race, Live & Uncorked, Bug Fest and much more. Fox Valley Park District is Where Fun Begins this summer!

Summer Camps Survival Series
Wild Nights at Red Oak
Brush up on your survival skills with our Review camp and follow it up by testing those skills in our Challenge camp! In the first session we will review many of the basic survival skills of shelter building, way finding, fire building and more. We will play games to sharpen our awareness and problem solving skills as we explore all areas around Red Oak. Follow up this camp with our Challenge week where campers will be given different scenarios that will test their skills in a safe and supported setting while exploring offsite at other parks and ending with a camp out at Red Oak. Campers do not need to have attended previous Survival Series camps to attending, but concepts may be accelerated to accommodate those that have. All registrants are required to bring a healthy and energizing snack, zero-waste lunch and a refillable water bottle in a backpack each day. Please note the camp schedule varies each week; more information will be provided in the parent letter.
This minicamp will allow your camper access to explore Red Oak during the sunset switch when our diurnal animals go to sleep and our nocturnal friends come out to play! Campers will explore our habitats on night hikes, explore the evening sky with a telescope, tell campfire stories, and enjoy some glow in the dark fun. Fee includes one headlamp per registrant.

Summer Camps Epic Adventure Camps
4 WEEKS, 4 UNIQUE ADVENTURES 4X THE FUN! Epic Adventure Camps are hands-on, week-long adventures designed to get children ages 7-10 active this summer. Each camp is led by experienced camp professionals to give your child a different experience that will create memories for a life time. Each camper should bring a snack, refillable water bottle, swimsuit (for Sports Mania, Pioneer Experience and Camp Atlantis) and a zero-waste lunch to camp each day.

We will use graphic editing techniques and stop motion animation, add background noise and music, and show our movie at a private screening on the last day of class. Students will also receive a copy of their movie after it is complete. Taught by Computer Explorers. (GW)

KIDS FITNESS INITIATIVES FIT FOR KIDS
The Fox Valley Park District is taking a leading role in the battle against childhood obesity. Teaching children the importance of exercise and nutrition provides them a solid foundation for a healthy future. In partnership with local agencies, the District helped create the “Making Kane County Fit for Kids” campaign. A major component of this campaign is the “Fit Kids 2020 Plan,” which provides guidelines, strategies and action steps to put children on a path toward healthy living. The plan includes initiatives and ideas that communities and residents can apply to a common goal. By working together, we create an environment where children make smart lifestyle choices that are beneficial toward their long-term health and well-being. For more information, visit makingkanefitforkids.org.
WORKING IT OUT TOGETHER
This program encourages kids and parents to work out together and develop a healthy lifestyle. Equipment will be set aside to allow children to work out with their parents. All children under the age of 14 are required to complete an equipment orientation prior to utilizing the fitness floor. Call the Vaughan or Eola Fitness Desk to set up an appointment. (BM) (JN)

Aquatics Preschool Polywogs
Aqua Gliders Beginner
Little Polywogs who are ready for the next step can enjoy the same experiences they know and love, this time without their parent. Kickboards, noodles and fishies encourage swimmers to use their imaginations as they learn basic swimming skills. Swimmers should be comfortable without a parent. To complete this level and move to the beginner class before age 5, children must be able to float independently on their fronts and backs, submerge their faces completely, swim freestyle with little or no help and be free of separation anxiety. No class on May 29 or July 4; Make up classes will be scheduled for Friday of that same week. (EE)
Students with little or no swimming experience work on the basics of swimming, including front and back gliding, floating and arm and leg movements for freestyle and backstroke. To complete the level, swimmers must be able to swim with width of the pool using both freestyle and backstroke. Children may need to repeat this level more than once depending on their initial skill level and overall comfort in the water. No class on May 29 or July 4; Make up classes will be scheduled for Friday of that same week. (EE)

SNAG – Starting New at Golf SNAG (Starting New at Golf) is a revolutionary system for training beginning golfers using the most fun golf equipment around. SNAG provides a creative and educational approach to learning the game while building confidence and teaching proper technique and etiquette. Instead of swinging and missing the traditional golf ball, golfers experience success using a larger, softer snagball that is safer and easier to hit. SNAG Junior Golf Introductory League

Volunteer Spotlight BRIANNA DINNSEN
When a recurring knee injury forced her to the sideline and kept her there, Brianna Dinnsen feared her time on the volleyball court was over. Actually, it was a new beginning. While her playing days were over after four years as a setter and outside hitter, Brianna, 15, took the setback in stride, turning her disappointment into an opportunity that has blossomed. You’ll still find her on the volleyball court every weekend. As a volunteer at the Vaughan Athletic Center, Brianna coaches two teams in the middle school league, helping players in grades 5-8. In addition to coaching, Brianna also assists with scorekeeping and refereeing. Volleyball is as near and dear as ever for Brianna, and now she’s able to share her love and wisdom for the game with others. “I was very sad after my injury; learning I couldn’t play anymore was tough to take,” said Brianna. “But I was determined to look on the bright side. I wanted to take a negative and make a total turnaround into something good.” As a player, Brianna advanced far enough to play club volleyball for Illinois Heat. En route, she came through the Vaughan volleyball program, beginning in fifth grade. Now as a coach, she knows the dreams and visions the current players share; she was one of those girls just a few years ago. “I just love the girls, and the great thing is… at this age, they get super excited over their accomplishments – you don’t always see that with the older, more established players,” said Brianna, a freshman at Yorkville High School. “They take so much joy in their progress – that first serve over the net, that first perfect set. It’s fun to watch them grow.” Brianna is enjoying the experience so much that she’s already anticipating her future. “I’ve realized I definitely enjoy working with children,” said Brianna. “I’d love to continue coaching throughout high school and I’m planning to major in elementary education with a minor in coaching once I get to college.” As it’s turned out, volunteering was Brianna’s best volleyball play.

Outdoor Facilities FISHING LAKES AND BOAT RAMPS
TRAILS
The district has a variety of fishing lakes for some relaxing fun. To ensure long-term, quality fishing at its lakes, the Fox Valley Park District has a cooperative management agreement with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that is intended to develop healthy eco-systems and improve fishing quality. Rather than stock and re-stock regularly, the lakes management program creates a fishery that is self-sustaining. The payoffs for fishermen are greater catch rates and bigger fish.
The park district features more than 48 miles of premier regional trails (trailheads with parking listed below). Trail maps are located on the “Park and Trails” tab at foxvalleyparkdistrict.org.
Printable contour maps of select lakes are available online at foxvalleyparkdistrict.org. The maps feature lake depths and shoreline features, along with specific information on fish species, average numbers and sizes, and creel limits. Fishing lakes with off-street parking include: • Foxcroft Lake: Elder and Birch in Aurora • Jericho Lake: Jericho Road in Aurora • Lake Gregory/Blackberry Farm (free with paid admission and valid fishing license weekdays only May 1 to Aug. 31): 100 S. Barnes Road, Aurora • Summer Lake: McCoy and Frontenac in Aurora • Waubonsie Lake: Montgomery and Kautz in Aurora • Wheatland Lake: Barrington and Spinnaker in Aurora Boat ramp locations: • Veterans Island • South River Street Park
• Summer Lake Park • Jericho Lake Park*
Boat dock locations: • Waubonsie Lake • Summer Lake

*Temporarily closed. STUART SPORTS COMPLEX
Stuart Sports Complex in Montgomery (60506) has two entrances. The North Entrance is located at 39W585 Jericho Road. The South Entrance is located at Griffin Dr. and Route 30.
