Letter From The President It’s hard to resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature’s rebirth in the springtime. For the Park District, springtime means preparing the wintry earth for soccer and baseball, turning over garden plot soil to bring forth nourishing crops and planting beautiful spring flowers bursting with color. Spring fever reawakens something in us all as we look forward to sunshine filled days after enduring yet another long winter.

As the New Year continues, we are ushering in a new and exciting era at the Park District and I am reminded of a quote by William Shakespeare “April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” We are pleased to officially introduce our new park district website and new colors this year.

There are five key reasons why we redeveloping our website: • Greater ADA accessibility • User-friendlier navigation • New technology to enhance functionality • Dynamic content management • Improved overall user experience The revitalized logo, unveiled in January 2010, symbolizes four park district key attributes –growth, strength and stability. The new logo design blended elements of the Park District’s existing ‘tree’– representing the life of our community and a zeal for parks and recreation – with the colors green and blue– representing trust, conservation, the environment and inspiring us to remain relevant after 85 years. The Arlington Heights Park District brand is undergoing an exciting transformation. Our new colors, new website and future enhancements to our programs, facilities and marketing and communications tools will reflect dynamic changes not only happening in our agency but in the park and recreation industry as a whole.

We hope to see you and your family shaking off the blustery winter with us this springtime. P.S. Once you’ve had the chance to navigate our new website, please take a few moments to give us your opinion at Comments@ahpd.org.

Program guide delivery How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?

What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?

The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.

We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a guide. Listed below is the delivery date for Summer 2011.

The delivery schedule for Fall 2011 through Summer 2012 will be available in the next program guide.

Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office?

There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents.

• The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days.

• Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days.

• Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner.

It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.

It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

Guide Summer 2011

Delivery Date (Saturdays) April 23, 2011

Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353.

We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway.

There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park District facility or view it online at ahpd.org. You may also print the Guide from a pdf file located on the Park District’s home page.

We hope this article provides you with additional information on how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for re-delivery.

Arbor Day Celebration The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 it was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton, a Nebraska journalist and politician. Throughout his long and productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques, but his most important legacy is Arbor Day. For the homeowner, Arbor Day is an excellent opportunity to take stock of the trees on your property and plan for the future. Think about how planting new trees might improve the look of your property or provide wind or heat protection. Take a trip to your local nursery to see what’s available and to get new ideas. Walk around your neighborhood. Are there any public areas where tree planting or tree maintenance might make a real difference to your community? And, oh yes, plant a tree.

Parent’s Day Camp Meeting Wednesday, May 25 , 7-8 pm Frontier Park, 1933 N. Kennicott Drive, 847.577.3015 If your child is enrolled in Sunny Meadows or Arlington Adventure Day Camp, join us for an informative hour sharing specific details of our camp activities. We’ll discuss field trips, extended stay, swim time, lunch and more. There will be time for questions.

Day Camp Camp Includes: Arts and crafts, outdoor sports and games, dramatics, songs, nature lore, daily swim, lunch for the weekly Taste of Camp, daily drink, special events, plus a field trip and guest speaker every two weeks. Swim lessons and tennis lessons are available for an additional fee.

Activities vary each session, so campers can sign up for more than one session without repetition. Separate activities have been planned for both age groups. More emphasis is placed on sports in Arlington Adventure.

Please make sure you provide a lunch for your child every day but Fridays. A daily drink will be available. A camp t-shirt will be included in the fee this year. One shirt will be given for the entire summer. There will be an extra charge for additional shirts.

Day Camp: Tennis Lessons

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING TO CAMP EACH DAY Starting with the first day of camp, please make sure your child brings a swimsuit, towel, water bottle, sunscreen and lunch. On Fridays, we will provide a lunch for all the campers. A daily drink will also be available but your child is free to bring their own drink if desired. Additional information on the camp program can be found in the Day Camp Parent Manual available on the Park District website at ahpd.org, under programs, camps.

Day camp will not be held on Monday, July 4th.

Participants who attend camp (Sunny Meadows or Arlington Adventure) at Camelot Park and Frontier Park will be able to take the same high-quality tennis lessons that we offer through our renowned outdoor tennis lessons program but at a significant camp savings. The lessons will be taught by experienced, well-prepared instructors from Heritage Tennis Club. These lessons will provide kids with new skills in a great game as well as variety in their routines. Eight lessons per two-week session will be taught on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Sign up for one session or as many as you like. Day camp will not be held on Monday, July 4th.(RL)

Day Camp: Swim Lessons @ Camelot Again, this year, there will be the option to take swim lessons during day camp. These lessons will be available to any Sunny Meadows or Arlington Adventure camper. You must sign up for swim lessons each session that you are interested in participating.

There will not be lessons available at Pioneer Park, because camp only meets three days a week and field trips are held on Wednesdays. Lessons at Camelot, Frontier and Heritage Park will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays for 40 minutes and taught by the Aquatic Department Staff. Lessons will not be held Session V at Pioneer Park. Day camp will not be held on Monday, July 4th. (LM)

Quickstart Tennis Program

June 12, 2011 (9 Weeks) Members enrolled in Winter 2011 Winter Lesson Participants 2010/11 Members Open and Online Registration

Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. These lessons will look more interactive with emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

Quickstart Tennis Lessons Children are taught tennis technique and rules of the game in a format that is scaled to their size and ability. This adult tennis allows the young beginner and advanced beginner to play and learn tennis at the same time.

Forest View Academy Program Forest View is excited to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition. For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program)

Our Spring Break Tennis Programs are a big hit, featuring innovative drills and games to give players of all abilities an ultimate high energy tennis program. Programs will be offered Monday-Friday, March 21-25. Sign up for one day or all five days!

• Quickstart Tennis 5-7 years (1-1:30 pm) • Quickstart Tennis 8-10 years (1:30-2:30 pm): The easier it is for kids to play tennis, the greater the chance that they will stick with it. Like other sports that bring their games down to scale, from a smaller diamond for Little League baseball to a shorter goal and smaller ball in basketball, students in the QuickStart program will play on courts that are smaller, use racquets that are shorter and play with a foam or low compression felt ball that have been designed for success.

• Advanced Beginner/Intermediate 9-13 years (11 am-12:30 pm): This program is geared for existing players who want to improve stroke technique and footwork. Students will drill and play to develop consistency and practice the rules of tennis.

• Match Play - Intermediate/Tournament Training 12-17 yrs (2:30-4 pm):This program is designed for intermediate players who are interested in getting tournament experience. Match Play will challenge players to compete in a round robin format using the skills and experience they have developed from years of lessons and practice! For program fees and registration details see our website, ahpd.org/htc, or call the Club to request a copy of our Program Flyer.

Preschool Classes For 3-5 Year Olds About the Instructors: Skilled professionals schooled in early childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends in education by attending early childhood workshops and conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share and establish self-direction.

About the Program: The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten.

Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting number 1-20.

Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play.

OLYMPIC INDOOR SWIM CENTER

Swimming is Lifelong. What fits you best?

OLYMPIC INDOOR SWIM CENTER

Important Notice Changes in Pool Pass Membership The Park District has upgraded its computer system and as a result all pool pass households will need to be reestablished for the 2011 summer swim season.

New pictures will need to be taken and new pool pass cards will be issued.

Here’s what has to be done. All individuals and families that either currently have a pool pass or intend to have one for summer 2011 will need to come to a Park District facility and bring in some form of ID that validates your home address and proof that all members of your household (if you have a family pass) meet the District’s criteria for being eligible to be a part of a family pass.

Beat the rush and avoid the lines. Starting February 29, you can reestablish your household and even take new pictures without purchasing your new pass. Then at a later date you can pay the fee and receive your new cards. A detailed letter will be sent to all pool pass households in mid-February with more information. Current pool pass cards will not be valid after May 27.

Call 847.577.3000 or 847.577.3025 for more information.

High School Water Polo Matches There will be high school water polo matches on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in March, April, and early May. These matches only take place in the lap and dive pool area, but they do generate large crowds in and around the facility. The afternoon matches are free to the public to watch. Call us to find out when a match is scheduled and then stop by and check out this exciting sport being played at the high school level. The Park District is offering a youth water polo program this spring.

Summer 2011 Swim Lesson Schedule You can view the Summer 2011 swim lesson schedule on line. Visit ahpd.org to view the times, dates, and locations of your favorite summer swim classes. We hope that this schedule will help you better plan your summer swimming fun. Registration for the summer swim classes will begin on May.

Scout Swim Merit Badge Does your scouting group need their aquatic merit badge? Let the professional aquatic staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center lead your scouts through a night of aquatic safety activities. Scout Swim Merit Badge nights can be booked on Wednesday from 8-9 pm.

A maximum of 10 scouts can be accommodated and all scouts must be accompanied by a leader. All pool rules apply during Scout Swim. The fee is $5 per scout. We can customize a program to fit your needs or use our own safety program. This program is designed for scouts in Indian Guides, Indian Princesses, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Webelos and other young scouting groups. This program is not designed to meet the requirements of the Boys Scouts of America Aquatics Badge. Leaders must make advance reservations for Scout Swim Merit Badge nights by calling Tim Jaskiewicz at 847.577.3047.

Swim Lesson Parent Information

Swim Classes

What swim class is right for me?

Spring Session Dates:

The Park District offers a variety of swim programs to encourage swimming as a lifelong skill. Programs cover age 6 months through adult swim lessons. In addition to swim lessons, we also offer youth water polo, competitive stroke clinics and water exercise.

Age 6 to 24 months - Water Babies with a parent Helps you and your child relax and enjoy the water through the use of songs, games and activities.

Age 2 to 5 year old - Water Toddlers with a parent You and your child learn basic swimming skills to enhance the time you spend together in the pool.

Age 3 to 5 year old - Water Scouts Without parent involvement, Scouts is designed to put your child at ease in the water by playing games and signing songs.

Ages 3 and over - Semi-Private Swim School Same as above, but with ratio of 2 students to 1 instructor.

Ages 3 and over - Individual Private Swim Lessons An alternative to Swim School offers one-on-one instruction designed to fit your needs.

Ages 5 and over - Swim School There are nine different levels for a young swimmer to progress through. Progressive skill learning challenges your child from level to level.

Ages 5 and over - Swim School II Same as above, but with a ratio of 4 students to 1 instructor.

Ages 11 and over - Teen Swim Lessons For the teen beginner-- a student older than participants in Swim School. Instructors focus on specific teen needs.

Ages 18 and over - Adult Swim Lessons Designed to meet the needs of our adult participants.

Instructors focus on what the individual wants to learn.

First Day of Lessons: It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of any conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can also view this online at ahpd.org.

Advancing Levels

Ages 3 to 6 year old - Junior Swim School Develop your toddler’s swimming skills to prepare them for Swim School when they are age appropriate. The goal is to keep children learning and interested in swimming so they will succeed in Swim School.

Age 6 and over - Diving Lessons Learn the basics of diving from a one-meter diving board.

Weekday - Monday, March 7 through Thursday May 5 (No classes March 21, 22, 23, and 24) Saturday - March 5 through May 7 (No classes on March 19, 26, and April 9) Sunday - March 6 through May 8 (No classes on March 20, 27, and April 24 Special 3-Week Session Dates: Monday May 9 through Wednesday May 25

Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, Swim School II, Semi-Private Lessons, and Private Lessons. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents. Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun.

Every child is different. Please do not compare your child’s experience in swim lessons to another. Children learn differently.

They obtain their coordination at different ages. They obtain the concept of getting better or practicing at different ages.

There are times when a child may not advance for a while due to circumstances out of our and your child’s control. When this happens it can be discouraging for your child. There are times when your child may need to take a break from swim lessons for a session. If that happens, rest assured, we will still be here ready and willing to welcome you back and get you swimming again.

Parent’s Day Ages 18 and over - Water Exercise Classes A variety of fun and invigorating water workouts.

84

Parent’s days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School.

Parents are invited poolside to observe their child’s skills and to talk with the swim instructor.

Aquatics Program Supervisor For more information on programs at Olympic and aquatic programs, please call Steve at 847.577.3025 or sjneill@ahpd.org

Swim School (5-12 yrs) The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your family’s recreational activities. Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance. Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and other information about our swim program.

Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes.

PARK FOUNDATION

Park Foundation for the greener good The Drive to Revive Memorial Park Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington Heights exclusively dedicated to veterans. Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, each year this site serves as a gathering point for the community to pay tribute to veterans from all the branches of the armed services in a solemn ceremony at the closing of the Memorial Day Parade.

Committed to honoring the sacrifices of Civil War veterans, Dr. John Best, a Civil War veteran himself, donated land to the Village for a Soldiers Memorial in 1883 to serve as a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new Arlington Heights Park District and the new Memorial Park was dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history.

Working with the Park District since 2006 to rebuild Memorial Park, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee and other organizations developed a beautiful new design and the park now features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington Heights veterans have served; and commemorative bricks to honor individual veterans. To date, over 300 individual veterans are honored at Memorial Park. By purchasing a Commemorative Brick in the Central Plaza of Memorial Park you may honor any veteran from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war).

For a Memorial Park brochure and brick order form, log onto the Memorial Park webpage: ahparkfoundation.org/ memorialparkfund or call the Park District at 847.577.3000.

Refund Policy

It is the Park District’s goal to provide a quality recreation and leisure service for all residents. If a participant is not completely satisfied with a class, you are entitled to a full refund or to repeat the class at no charge (if openings are available). In order to provide this policy, you must meet all class prerequisites, submit your refund request prior to the last class, and provide feedback to help us improve for future programming.

Refund requests can be submitted online or by calling one of the Park District offices. No refunds will be given after a program has ended.

All refunds are subject to a $5 administrative service fee, except under the following circumstances: • Request for refund is due to a satisfaction issue • Refund is initiated by the Park District • Doctor’s note is submitted with request • Online registration is withdrawn within the first hour of initial registration.
