Greetings from YOUR

I think that we all can agree that the days of summer go by in a flash, while the other nine months seem to drag on. Your Park District knows this feeling, so we gear our programs to not only serve our working families with BEFORE and AFTER School Programs, known as “ACES”, but also programs that serve our youth, teens and adult patrons. You will find so many programs in this catalog to choose from, that before you know it, you will be reading the Summer of 2018 Catalog. Besides the ever popular “Drop-In Adult” recreational programs and the numerous “Teen Programs” that are available, I would like to mention one of the new programs that is being offered this fall which is the “Star Wars Jedi Training” class. We are confident this class will fill up fast, so please sign up early. For those of you looking for a location to hold your wedding reception, birthday party or perhaps a baby shower, please check out the banquet rooms located at Lions Community Center. We can accommodate parties large or small. Stop in or call for more details. I would like to point out that this past summer, we added Pickleball court lines to one of our tennis courts at your Countryview-Royal Meadows Park. This fast growing sport turns a normal tennis court into four pickle courts. Because the court size is relatively small, this game allows people of all ages to get engaged. Contact your Park District for specific information, or just take your pickle equipment, along with your friends, and head on over to Countryview-Royal Meadows Park and experience this new recreational sport.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

New Lenox Community Park District!

As far as your parks, playgrounds and shelters are concerned, your Parks and Maintenance Staff will continue to maintain them to the highest level of quality possible, while improving accessibility to all of your parks and athletic sites as well. Due to the “uncertainty” down in Springfield, specifically when it comes to their “Grand Bargain” and the possibility of a property tax freeze, your Board of Commissioners have to proceed cautiously when it comes to capital spending on short-term projects, as well as long-term planning. Unfortunately, this will be the pattern the Board of Commissioners must follow in order to do our due diligence in meeting the growing recreational needs of our Park District residents, while maintaining our #1 priority which is financial security for today and tomorrow. Remember…Be Active and Stay Healthy.

Sincerely, Brian Fischer Park Board President

Million Dollar Quartet – Paramount Theatre Adult Aurora, IL There was no plan for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins to record together on December 4, 1956, but as fate would have it, they did and left behind a historic and mind-blowing album.

This is the show that ran in Chicago from 2008 to 2016 and spanned more than 2,500 performances. Critics called it “The most exuberant theatrical event;” “dazzling from first beat to last” and “the best live rock ‘n’ roll show I have ever seen.” Before the show, we will enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in the Theatre Ballroom.

Fall Jewelry, Fashion & Accessories Show Travel to Silk Avenue Scarves Adult Plainfield, IL

We will be traveling to Silk Avenue Scarves for a unique afternoon of creating a oneof-a-kind 100% silk scarf or table runner. Silk Avenue utilizes the ancient Turkish art form "Ebru" (water marbling) to create beautiful one-of-akind silk creations. The art of Ebru involves the application of paints to a tray of thickened water to create a design that is transferred to the scarf directly from the water. The entire process is quite fascinating and somewhat magical! Prior to this wonderful artistic experience, we will enjoy a delicious lunch buffet at a nearby Aurelio’s Pizza.

KIDDIE KAMPUS

Registration began on Saturday, March 11

What requirements are necessary for Kiddie Kampus registration?

Limited space available

Meet & Greet Days for Registrants Thursday, September 7 and Friday, September 8 Classes begin the week of Sep. 11, 2017 through May 18, 2018.

What does Kiddie Kampus offer its participants? Children learn many things before going to kindergarten. The New Lenox Community Park District offers preschool classes designed to develop social, emotional and physical skills to ensure school readiness. A child’s separation from parents and involvement with a non-family member is one of many major steps towards his/her development. Kiddie Kampus provides a safe and supportive environment for your child’s first school experience while increasing his/her self-esteem and confidence through age-appropriate instruction. Covered during the year are color, shape and number recognition, an introduction to number concepts and letter recognition. Your child’s quest for learning will be nurtured through creative play, building friendships, working individually and cooperating as part of a group. These activities promote patience, sharing and the awareness that there is a whole world of people surrounding and supporting them. Songs, stories, activities and games are used for reinforcement and fun.

ACTV#

Due to priority registration of current 3-year-old Kiddie Kampus participants, there are limited spots available in the 4-year-old Kiddie Kampus program.

AGE

1. A copy of your child’s birth certificate MUST be provided at registration as well as a voter’s card or tax bill for verification of residency. A child must be four (three for the 3-year old program), on or before September 1, 2017 and must be able to handle bathroom hygiene independently (potty-trained, no diapers). It is very helpful if the child is able to zip/button independently. 2. A $50 non-refundable registration fee, first month’s tuition, along with a T-shirt fee of $10 (if needed) will be collected while pre-registering your child. The remainder of the fees are then divided into eight equal monthly payments. All payments are due on the 15th of the month, beginning September 15th. A late fee of $25 will be assessed to any account that is delinquent. 3. If you pay your full tuition payment at time of registration, the $50 non-refundable registration fee will be waived. Our Kiddie Kampus follows New Lenox School District #122’s calendar year for all full days off except for our Winter Break. Kiddie Kampus is still in session when NLSD has a half day.

In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our brochure. • Although your child may turn the correct age during a second session of a program, our age requirement date coincides with the school district’s date to assist with the fundamental growth of the child in the ageappropriate programs and therefore would not be eligible for registration. • Classes are for the child attending only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships. • All children must be potty-trained, unless they are attending a class where an adult stays with them or otherwise stated in the class description. Diapers are not permitted in independent classes unless stated in the class description. • Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged. • For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool-age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals.

Mindfulness & Me

New!

Ages 5-8 Administration Building (All-Purpose Room) So often we ask our children to “pay attention,” but we don’t teach them how. Growing up in a “plugged-in” and screenfocused world leaves little or no time for children to learn how to pay attention or just be present. In this five week class, parents and children will become connected to the lifelong practice of mindfulness (the space between stimulus and response). Mindfulness can help with difficult emotions or focus. We will cover mindful breath, body awareness, listening, heartfulness, generosity and thoughts. Each class includes music, story and craft time and a journal response—all contributing to a practice that can positively impact children’s lives in and outside of school. Each week, parents will receive take-home materials to help continue the mindfulness practice at home. (This class is not a course in meditation.) Day/Time: ACTV#28710-A1 ACTV#28710-A1 Fee:

FITNESS

Hatha Yoga is used to create balance in the body and the mind. This is accomplished by looking to the eight limbs of yoga including asana (physical movement) and pranayama (breathing exercises). During the course we will discover how the linking of physical movement and breath work can begin to slow the mind and release stress. This class is great for people who are looking to decompress from their day, need low impact exercises that will still build strength. All levels of experience and flexibility are welcome! For your comfort, please come to class on an empty stomach (eat two hours before class) and wear loose fitting clothing. Please bring your own yoga mat, strap and a water bottle to class.

PARK POLICIES PROGRAM CATALOG DISTRIBUTION

NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN: (1) once a program begins unless a replacement is found; (2) on material fees unless we cancel a program; (3) on bus trips; or (4) for Special Events or one-day programs. A full refund is issued if we cancel a program or trip.

Our seasonal catalogs are distributed inside the New Lenox Patriot Newspaper. This free newspaper for New Lenox residents only can be subscribed to by visiting 22ndcenturymedia.com/ req/np. For park district residents outside of New Lenox, the Park District relies on the postal service for distribution of our program catalogs. The Park District assumes no responsibility for delivery. Please contact us at 815.485.3584 if you do not receive your catalog.

• When a participant cancels out of a program, a full refund, LESS a $5 Service Charge (per program); will be granted. A $5 service charge will also be assessed on all program transfers. These requests will only be honored if the request is submitted THREE BUSINESS DAYS prior to the start of the program or activity.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• A $30 NSF fee will be added for all returned checks.

A mandatory sign-in and sign-out procedure is required for all participants enrolled in any Park District program. Children must be accompanied by an adult when being escorted to and from class.

• Every effort will be made to process refunds within 30 days, but in some instances it may take longer.

LIABILITY

• All refunds less than $10 will be applied as a credit to the customer’s account.

CANCELLATION Staff reserves the right to consolidate, postpone, reschedule or cancel any program due to change in day, dates, times, instructor, or insufficient enrollment. If program enrollment does not meet the minimum number of registrants, it will be cancelled seven days prior to the start date. For cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. inclement weather, facility emergencies or scheduling conflicts), which are announced by the Lincoln-Way District #210 or New Lenox School District #122 at facilities where Park District programs are scheduled, Park District programming will be cancelled as well. All attempts will be made to reschedule cancelled classes. However, the New Lenox Community Park District is sometimes unable to accommodate make-up classes and will not refund money in such instances.

The New Lenox Community Park District is unable to assume responsibility for injuries, accidents or loss of personal property occurring during programs or activities, in parks or facilities. Such insurance would make programs and user fees prohibitive. It is recommended that participants make provisions to provide this coverage through their family insurance program.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM If you are (1) a New Lenox Park District resident and (2) cannot participate for financial reasons, you may be eligible for financial aid. Please contact the Park District’s Director of Recreation at 815.485.3584 for an interview. Please note that the maximum household scholarship benefit is $1,000 per year.

MILITARY DISCOUNT We are pleased to offer a military discount for those who qualify. Please contact 815.485.3584 for further information and details.

PROGRAM BEHAVIOR POLICY Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff. • Show respect to participants and staff; take direction from staff. • Refrain from using abusive or foul language, or from causing bodily harm to self, other participants, or staff. • Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. The New Lenox Community Park District reserves the right to terminate a party’s participation in a Park District program due to that party’s disruptive behavior or conduct.
