A Message from our Director It’s our favorite time of the year! We have been busy planning an array of programs and events for you and your family to enjoy this summer – many are free of charge. Make sure to check out RomeoFest, our largest event of the year, featured on pages 6-8! Some of our other summer events include our first Park Party at Meadowalk Park on May 16, which is a fun time for all the little ones. We will have our first Cruisin’ the Square car show on May 25 — all car enthusiast can come out and look at some cool rides. Mistwood Golf Course and the Village of Romeoville have collaborated to provide a Memorial Day fireworks display on Sunday, May 28. We will be having our first Sunday Symphony on June 25, at the Deer Crossing Park Amphitheater for some easy listening. Don’t forget the annual Community Garage Sale on May 20, at which you can find or sell your treasures. We have also been busy rounding up the completion of renovations at O’Hara Woods (524 W. Belmont) with new playground equipment and pavilion improvements. In addition, we will also be completing the new park in Greenhaven/Meadowdale Estates known as Forest View Park (1065 W. Birch Lane). This new park will include a new playground, pavilion, and fitness stations. We are also starting construction soon at Discovery Park, which is located near the corner of Airport and Weber Road. This 25-acre park will provide up to five new athletic fields. Last, but not least, the Village will be leasing open space from Joliet Jr. College. The property is adjacent to Volunteer Park. We are growing and invested in maintaining our parks and recreation areas for you to enjoy! It is our privilege to bring you fun and exciting events to keep your family entertained throughout the summer. I encourage you to take a few minutes to browse through this brochure and find a program or check out our full list of our events, as I’m sure you’ll find something that fits your interest. We hope to see you soon! Kelly Rajzer

Registration Frequently Asked Questions PAYMENT OF FEES Fees may be paid by cash, check, Visa, Discover, or MasterCard at the time of registration. All monies are immediately deposited.

RETURNED CHECKS If a check is returned unpaid, there is a $35 insufficient check fee in addition to the original amount of the check payable by cash or money order within 10 days. Failure to do so in the specified time will result in turning the check over to the police department for further action.

PROGRAM CANCELLATION If the program is canceled due to insufficient registration, a full refund will be made through the Village within fifteen (15) to thirty (30) working days.

CLASS CANCELLATION If a class is canceled during the program, participants will be notified of the make up date by phone, in writing through a hand-out at class, through the mail, or via e-mail.

REFUND POLICY Refunds are issued as follows - 100% before the start of week one; 75% before the start of week two; 50% before the start of week three; 25% before the start of week four; and NO REFUND after week four. Refunds will be issued in 30 to 60 days.

AGE CRITERIA POLICY Appropriate age levels have been established by our supervisors to ensure a rewarding experience for all children. Children must meet the age requirements of a class within two weeks after the starting date of the class (except Creative Play). Noncompliance with age requirements can result in removal from the program. The Recreation Department reserves the right to request a birth certificate if the age of the child is in question.

PROGRAM ENROLLMENT POLICY All programs have minimum and maximum enrollments. If the minimum enrollment has not been reached by the stated deadline, the Recreation Department reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or consolidate the program with another. If a program is canceled, full refunds will be issued.

BEHAVIOR POLICY Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make the Recreation Department safe and enjoyable for all participants. Participants shall: 1) show respect to all participants and staff; 2) refrain from using foul language; 3) refrain from causing bodily harm to another participant or staff; 4) show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities.

INSURANCE The Romeoville Recreation Department carries no medical insurance and assumes no liability for personal injuries or loss of personal property while attending Recreation Department activities. A participant’s own policy must cover any medical costs incurred.

TOILET TRAINING POLICY Children enrolled in a program for ages 3 and older must be toilet trained unless it is a parent/toddler class. We stress the importance of children practicing their independence and we do not aid children in the bathroom. Our instructors are not responsible for diaper changing or toilet training. We reserve the right to deny participation by a child age 3 or older if they are not toilet trained.

WE LOVE PARENTS BUT... With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are invited to their child’s last class meeting only. Our instructors always welcome the opportunity to discuss a participant’s progress with parents at any time. Thank you for your cooperation.

INCLUSION AIDES Northern Will County Special Recreation Association provides qualified staff to help assist the Romeoville Recreation Department’s community recreation leaders in providing recreational programs for children and adults with special needs in a safe environment. Inclusion aides assist participants with recreation activities and with any accommodations needed to make sure it is an optimal experience for participants. If your child needs assistance, please mention this on your registration form or upon registration. We do our best to provide inclusion aides for all requests; however, from time to time an aide may not be available because of the class time or day.

RESIDENT RATE A Resident Rate Status is available for non residents who wish to register for classes at a resident rate. This can be purchased for $100 per household and will allow non residents to register for classes at the resident rate during the non-resident registration period (walk-in registration only). A Resident Rate Status is good for one year from the date of issue. These passes are eligible for all recreation classes; they do not apply to the Birthday Party Packages, Open Gym, Child Care, Fit 4 Life, or rentals.

ID POLICY All registrants will be asked to show one form of photo identification to ensure residency and confirm information on file. Please be prepared to show identification at any time (state-issued ID or drivers license).

PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS Program scholarships are to assist families in need and are based on the availability of funds. These scholarships are only available to Romeoville residents who can provide proof of income or eligibility of need (i.e. free/reduced school lunch program, IL Dept. of Public Aid recipient, most recent W-2 for all members living in household). In addition, proof of Romeoville residency is also required. Applications can be picked up at the Recreation Center and must be submitted during the registration period with supporting documentation.

gymnastics Join Our Competitive Team!

Romeoville Tumbleweeds Tryouts July 17-21, 2017 The Romeoville Tumbleweed’s program goal is to provide an opportunity for female gymnasts from age 6 through High School to learn, grow, develop, and mature into an outstanding young adult. Gymnasts that are a part of the Tumbleweeds team will learn to work hard, set and achieve goals, work well with others, take initiative, and work through frustrations and setbacks. The Tumbleweeds team also promotes and encourages confidence to achieve anything they put their minds to. With that said, the utmost priority is to provide an incredible gymnastics experience for each gymnast. We make this happen because the gymnasts, parents, families, and coaches work together as a team. Being a part of the Romeoville Tumbleweeds is a lot of fun and very rewarding; however, it requires a huge commitment from both the gymnast and her family. If your child makes the team after tryouts, commitments include: year-round practices, strict attendance policy, competitions (local and long-distance), additional fees for competitions & uniforms, league membership fees, and additional performances/appearances. Time management skills are a necessity to be a part of the team. The Romeoville Tumbleweeds are a involved in two divisions – the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, Inc. (AAU) and the Gymnastics of Illinois Junior Organization (GIJO). The team attends meets ran by both divisions throughout the season.
