General Information | 5

D ear I tasca P ark D istrict Patrons: As winter fades away and spring blooms into our lives, we’re eagerly anticipating the adventures that summer will bring!

We’ve also been hard at work at the Springbrook Nature Center, with new interactive displays, interpretive signs, and entrance signs to enhance your experience.

With school breaks, vacation plans, backyard cookouts, lazy days at the Itasca Waterpark, Itasca Fest, and family get-togethers on the horizon, there’s so much excitement in the air as we prepare to embrace the warmth and joy of the season.

We have a special anniversary this year. Our Executive Director, Maryfran Leno, is celebrating her 30-year anniversary with us. The Itasca Park District would not be the award-winning, highly regarded, envied agency it is today without her vision, determination, energy and dedication to our community. We are lucky to have her leading our team of professionals and are incredibly grateful for her leadership and commitment.THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS MARYFRAN!

As you explore our parks, you’ll notice subtle and noticeable improvements.

Benson Park on Mill Road has undergone a fantastic makeover! We’ve added four pickleball courts, a new shelter, sand volleyball court, wheelchair accessible WEGO swing, playground turf, and a water fountain – opening end of May. Unfortunately, our grass still needs time to grow, so the new soccer fields are not open yet, but watch for more details.

In partnering with the Village of Itasca we were awarded a $600,000 OSLAD grant to renovate Usher Park. Over the next two years, we will replace the gazebo, make pathways more accessible, add nature related structures and pollinating plants.

Have a great summer!

Linda Aiani President, Itasca Park District Board of Commissioners

What is a 0.5K Beer & Donut Run? Some of you may have heard of a 5k,

10k, or even marathons, but what about the 0.5k? We are making your training for this race easier than the rest of them. This is for those who enjoy their Saturdays with a little more laidback style! The race is perfect, just a loop around Prairie Trail at the Nature Center; just try not to spill your beer (it’s bad for the grass) and finish that donut! There will not be an official timekeeper for the race because we are all winners! Afterwards, kickback and relax where there will be more Church Street Brewery beverages for purchase.

Summer STEAM

NEW!

Using simple lessons, crossing the curriculum, we will help your child develop their scientific skills. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

This is a hot topic in schools, and we want to bring it down to the preschool level. It is a hands-on, inventive, and creative way to teach children education concepts while they are having fun and playing. Each week will have a different theme to guide the learning process. We will incorporate stories, songs, activities, and crafts to expand the experience. There will be plenty of time for exploring, predicting, building, and solving. (ER) AGE: 3-5yrs DAY

Prairie Palette

Illinois is the Land of Lincoln; however, the prairie was here first, and Abraham Lincoln grew up on the prairie. A prairie is the most magnificent landscape anywhere, with beauty that changes about every two weeks from early spring to late fall. Its colors are vibrant, its insects amazing, its birds singing and breezes blowing make music for those who pay close attention. Spend some quality time in our prairie. We’ll draw, write, and listen to poetry, sing a bit, look at what’s growing, chirping, flying, or crawling, measure plant heights, figure out root depth, and come away having made friends with Illinois’ original plants.

An informational parent meeting will take place on Friday, July 19th from 6:15-7:15pm in the Iris Room. This will give parents a chance to ask questions and review requirements and costs associated with being on the dance team, prior to try-outs.

R

Try-outs for the team will take place on Saturday, July 20th from 9:30am-12pm in the Iris Room. Dancers will learn several short routines and then be evaluated. Prior dance experience is required to participate on the team, but all levels of experience will be considered for placement.

More information about team will be given out at the parent meeting and try-outs.

Private Lessons All available private lessons are available for purchase through our online registration system. 30-minute privates are $30 and 1-hour lessons are $50. Some private lessons are reserved for Dance Team Participants only and will state that in the online description.

Jordan Kents Just Skills Sports Camp Join us for a new summer sports camp. Founded in 2012, Jordan Kent’s Just Kids Skill Camps are sport camps for boys and girls ages 6-12 that place an emphasis not only on skill development, but more importantly, character development and nutrition education. Sport fundamentals are introduced then built upon in drills and scrimmages.

Campers are challenged with a life skill every morning such as teamwork or embracing failure, while our snack time is accompanied by a lesson on nutrition such as sugar or fats. Our most popular offering, our Multi-Sport camp, allows campers to choose between basketball, football, or soccer for the week. (IU) AGE: 6-12yrs DAY DATE

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that is being rediscovered here as a health exercise. This class brings the mind, body and spirit together with isometric, balance and leg strengthening exercises. Movements are executed slowly and precisely to learn proper body alignment. Our way to beat stress is through integrating slower breathing with more precise, aligned movement.

Insurance Policy The Itasca Park District does not provide medical coverage for injuries suffered while participating in park district programs, or while using park facilities.
