Winter/Spring Fitness Schedule December 26-June 2

CARDIO AND STRENGTH CONDITIONING will focus on low weight and high repetition exercises aimed to tone the entire body. Minimal equipment will be used for this class. Bringing a mat is recommended.

ZUMBA® takes the work out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.

ZUMBA® TONING is for those who want a dance party, but also want to tone and sculpt muscles! The challenge of adding resistance by using Zumba® Toning Sticks (or light weights), helps you focus on specific muscle groups, so you (and your muscles) stay engaged.

15/15/15 is a jam packed class for 15 minutes of step, 15 minutes of cardio dance, and 15 minutes of balance and stretching.

360 TONING focuses on strengthening and toning all major muscle groups. Each class varies by using a multitude of equipment and methods.

CARDIO STRETCH combines dance, calisthenics and plyometrics, plus stretching for a greater range of movement.

SOUL FUSION is a low impact, high intensity, body transforming format using Pilates and Yoga inspired moves to sculpt long, lean muscles, and burn fat.

TABATA is a high intensity interval training combines cardio and strength exercises in 4-minute blocks. This is a fast paced, fun, calorie burning workout. Class is adapted to all fitness levels.

STRENGTH AND STRETCH will focus on building strength and flexibility with this full body tone and stretch from your head to your toes.

BALANCE AND STRENGTH focuses on stability to improve balance, strength, and flexibility while strengthening your core.

CARDIO TRANSFORM helps transform your body and burn fat with this HIT workout. A step platform will be used to increase the intensity of this workout to sculpt your body into the shape you want.

• Three hours of class time at Parkside and Eagle (9:00am-12:00pm).

• Parkside five-day option only.

Preschool offers activities and experiences that help children socialize and get ready for kindergarten. Hands on and developmentally appropriate activities in the areas of math, pre-reading, pre-writing, science, art, and large and small motor skills are offered throughout the preschool day. Children will also learn how to make friends and be a part of a group.

Some of the classes are mixed age, meaning 3 and 4 years olds are together in the same classroom. There are many great benefits to this kind of class. The older children learn to help their younger friends, and the younger children learn from the older ones.

Lunch enrichment offers time to further improve pre-kindergarten skills. Children should bring a peanut-free lunch and a drink. The cost of lunch enrichment will be paid monthly. Days and times listed by location. Note that lunch enrichment may begin a few weeks later than preschool and end a week before preschool does.

LITTLE RIDERS INTRODUCTION TO HORSEMANSHIP

Is your child in love with ponies? Do they want to learn to ride? This program is the perfect place for you to share with them the wonderful world of ponies and horses. Children ages 4-6 will learn to be comfortable with our little 4-legged friends and be introduced to basics of riding and working around our ponies. A parent or adult guardian will be required to participate along with their child. Parents and participants should wear long pants and hard soled shoes; boots and helmets are provided for participant use.

INTRODUCTION TO HORSEMANSHIP

Introduction to Horsemanship, a requirement for all new students, covers basic horsemanship skills including safety, grooming, tacking, and basic riding skills, thus building a foundation for our continuing riding program. Three lessons are non-riding. Students will learn to enter a horse's stall and lead the horse from its stall to the arena. They will also learn to tighten the girth and adjust their stirrups, techniques to properly mount a horse, the proper dismounting procedures, and returning the horse to its stall. As students become proficient with these skills actual riding time will increase accordingly. Students and parents should also be aware that due to the nature of the horse, behaviors such as spooking, biting, kicking, bucking, and playing will occur. How to handle these situations as a rider are an integral part of horsemanship and will be addressed in lessons.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming ding of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.

In 2004, the Board of Park Commissioners adopted a comprehensive Conduct Ordinance that relates to the use of the parks and property owned, operated, maintained, or controlled by Palatine Park District. A copy of this ordinance can be viewed at palatineparks.org under the District Information tab.

PARTICIPANT CODE OF CONDUCT

In addition to the Conduct Ordinance of 2004, the Board of Park Commissioners has also approved Administrative Policy 2.13.1, Code of Conduct. This code of conduct is the minimum expected behavior of every participant to ensure the safety and positive experience of all involved. The District uses a three pillar positive behavior program as the platform to define the expected behavior of all participants. This platform is aligned and consistent with the program used within the local elementary schools to create consistency among children and parents whether at school or play at the park district. This Code of Conduct is also aligned and tied to the District’s Anti-bullying policy and the District’s Participant Disciplinary Policy when rules and expectations of the positive behavior program are violated. A copy of this policy can be viewed online at palatineparks.org under the District Information tab.

CLASS DISMISSAL GUIDELINES

All children 11 and under are to remain in the classroom until a parent or authorized person comes into the classroom to pick them up. Parents are required to sign their child in and out of each class.

Parents of children ages 7–11 may opt to complete a Class Dismissal Permission Slip. This will allow the child to be released at the end of the scheduled class without a parent present. These forms are available from your child’s instructor. A separate form will be required for each class attended and every new session.

ADULT SUPERVISION

When not participating in a class, children under 7 years old must be accompanied by an adult while in Park District facilities.

CHILD ENDANGERMENT

Any authorized person who exhibits signs of an impaired condition due to alcohol or drugs will not be allowed to leave a program site with the child/children.

PHOTO POLICY

Palatine Park District may take photographs of participants enrolled in Park District programs, special events, or people on Park District properties and parks. These photographs may be used in print, online, or in other promotional materials and are for Park District use only.

SMOKING ORDINANCE

Smoking or any use of a tobacco product, including electronic cigarettes, is prohibited within 50 feet of all entrances to Palatine Park District buildings, in all Park District facilities, in all wooded areas on Park District property, and in all other locations where signs are posted prohibiting smoking. Smoking is allowed at Palatine Hills Golf Course and on the north side of the Clubhouse deck. See Section 2.36, Code of Conduct.

Facilities include all structures on Palatine Park District property including, but not limited to, swimming pools; skate, dog, and disc golf parks; riding arenas; shelters; gazebos; fishing pier; playgrounds; athletic fields; and amphitheater/bowl.

IN-DISTRICT SCHOLARSHIPS

Palatine Park District offers scholarships to In-District Park District residents for reduced program rates according to financial need. Application forms are available at Community Center, Birchwood Recreation Center, or Falcon Park Recreation Center. Contact Donna Orr at 847-496-6240 or dorr@palatineparks.org or visit palatineparks.org for more information.

WEATHER CLOSINGS AND CANCELLATIONS

The decision to close District facilities is made by the Executive Director and is not taken lightly as many factors influence that decision. The safety of our patrons and staff is the most important element in the decision-making process.

CANCELLATIONS AND CLOSURE SYSTEM

For weather conditions and program information, call 224-219-0007.

PROGRAM GUIDE CHANGES/ERRORS DISCLAIMER

Occasionally, there may be an error that appears in print or online regarding days, times, fees, or other information. When such errors occur, Palatine Park District will do everything possible to correct the situation promptly. For the most current information visit palatineparks.org. Thank you for your patience and understanding when these situations arise.

ARE YOU COVERED?

The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program participants as the costs would make program fees prohibitive. Please review your own personal health insurance plan to be certain that you and your family have the proper coverage.

ILLINOIS FLAG DISPLAY ACT

Palatine Park District abides by the statutes of the Illinois Flag Display Act. Section 10 of the Act governs the flying of the flag at half-mast. Determination of the day and duration for display at half-mast is obtained from the Illinois News Summary. Visit il.halfstaff.org for information regarding lowering the flag.

A�D�A� COMPLIANCE

Palatine Park District intends to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act by making reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. If you have any questions about the Park District’s compliance policy please contact one of our A.D.A. compliance officers.
