WINTER/SPRING 2021 • DECEMBER - JUNE

Catch the Wave Swim Club structures the program to provide much more than just swimming lessons. Our curriculum, teacher training, evaluation system, and parent communication are all designed to provide a total Aquatic Education. Our primary technique to achieve water safety is to teach all students to comfortably live in the water. When a student truly learns to live in the water, the strokes come easily.

We find that when a child enjoys the lessons, the more successful the learning process is. Therefore, our priority is to create a happy atmosphere.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Small class sizes Professionally trained teachers Consistent, year-round approach Private swim lessons available Flexible scheduling & make up classes offered

PICKLEBALL INDOOR TOURNAMENT

Pickleball is often described as a mixture of ping-pong, tennis, and badminton, all played on a mini tennis court with an oversized paddle and a ball similar to a wiffle ball.

This game is fast, fun, and addictive. Reservations are required and each hour reservation is limited to adults, 4 participants per court. Paddles and pickleballs must be checked out from the Front Counter to make sure that all materials have been properly disinfected. *No Pickleball Open Gym 1/5 & 1/12

Children's Center The Oregon Park District Children’s Center program is designed to help prepare your child for kindergarten. Children will learn both indoors and outdoors utilizing both of our classrooms. Mrs. Crandall and Mrs. Teresa have developed a curriculum to assist your child’s social and emotional development as well as providing kindergarten readiness skills.

Drop-off and pick-up will occur at our Children’s Center entrance located at School Street and South 6th Street. This location allows for you to drop your child off at the entrance from your car directly to our teachers. This procedure, enacted during COVID, has been successful and will continue in the 2021-22 school year. Our students and staff are able to be independent from Nash Recreation Center with their own kitchen, bathroom and both indoor and outdoor classrooms. The separation has allowed for easier transitions at drop-off and much less contact than entering through the traditional Nash Recreation Center entrance. Pick-up will allow parents to park on School and 6th Street and enter our back patio for dismissal.

SPECIAL EVENTS

T

he Oregon Park District is proud of our Inclusion Program that officially kicked off in February 2018. Inclusion within the Oregon Park District means individuals with special needs are blended into the same recreation programs and activities as their peers. The Oregon Park District will work with you to provide reasonable accommodations to enable the participant’s successful involvement in a program.

Using our past experiences, we have taken the time to create internal procedures to include a chain of command and training by Ogle County Educational Cooperative for our staff. This allows staff to be better equipped to work alongside a wide array of individuals with special needs allowing a better experience in our programs.

In 2017, the Oregon Park District took a more conscious approach to accommodate these needs in two of our programs. The swimming lesson program implemented the Angelfish program through the Starfish Aquatics Institute.

Instructors completed and were certified through additional courses. The aquatics department successfully accommodated five swimmers into group lessons this past year and had several returning for multiple sessions. In the summer, Camp Oh-Pea-Dee served a handful of new campers with the accommodation of a companion.

In 2017, Katie Shea, a camp parent, had a child in Camp Oh-Pea-Dee with special needs. Below she shares some thoughts on her experiences.

“My son loved Camp Oh-Pea-Dee. Having a place to play and interact with peers made a big difference in his summer. Our whole family benefitted from the experience. I don’t know what we would have done without it. I know that it is not always easy to be inclusive, but I believe that all children benefit from being exposed to others with differing abilities. We were so pleased to hear reports from his companion that other children asked about

WINTER/SPRING 2021 • DECEMBER - JUNE

him and missed him when he wasn’t there. You can imagine how great this made us feel. Thank you so much for your willingness to work with us! Until I became a parent of a child with special needs, I never considered the challenges of finding childcare and social activities.

It is hard. There really isn’t an understanding of the widespread benefits of inclusion for all kids. It’s not just about childcare. It’s about friends and interacting with the community. I know these are not easy issues and my beliefs about inclusion have certainly not always been as strong as they are now. I just want to assure you again this is valuable work that you are doing making inclusion a priority. Perhaps your program could serve as a model for others someday. There is such a great need.”

The Oregon Park District provides year-round programs for patrons with and without disabilities that focus on skill development, independence, socialization, sense of enjoyment and self-awareness.

Inclusion services are offered to create an opportunity for people with special needs to participate in the least restrictive environment and be included in all Park District programs.

Inclusion allows the participant to participate in any Park District program with the support of an inclusion companion or other accommodations.

Through a comprehensive approach, the Oregon Park District is confident that we can better serve individuals with special needs in any of our Park District programs. At the time of registration, the participant or guardian simply checks the box indicating a need for a special accommodation.

An employee will then contact the participant or guardian to discuss further details to provide the best choice to allow the individual to be successful.

For more information or questions contact Amanda Zimmermann at Amanda@oregonpark.org or 815-732-3101.
