Park District Boundaries

When determining the fees for a particular class, you must first determine whether you are “in-district” or “out-of-district.”

In-district residents are those who reside within the Barrington Park District boundaries and who pay taxes to the Barrington Park District. All others are out of district. Important: not all Village of Barrington residents are within the Barrington Park District boundaries and therefore require the out-ofdistrict rates. Please see the neighborhood lists below and check your tax statement to determine your residency status.

This summer there are many opportunities for you to unplug and try something new. We invite each of you to get out and explore all that the Barrington Park District has to offer. Start your outdoor tour at the Pepper Family Treehouse in Citizens Park. The treehouse underwent extensive maintenance last season and is now open and perfect for a picnic or family gathering. While in Citizens Park, take a little extra time to walk or bike the trails. Wednesday evenings starting July 12, sit back and enjoy the music. BMO Harris is sponsoring the summer concert series which is always a fan favorite.

In Langendorf Park, try your hand at pickleball. Don’t worry if you have never played; now is the perfect opportunity to learn something new or to take a class. The pool opens Memorial Day weekend and there is no better way to cool off on a hot summer day than by taking a dip in the pool or racing down a water slide. Paradise Plunge (page 8) and the Cardboard Boat Regatta (page 9) are a couple of ways to bring the family together for a fun outdoor and unplugged activity.

Are you looking for something more structured? The Barrington Park District has something for everyone. We have camps geared for all ages and just about every interest area. Ultimate Frisbee? We have you covered. Cooking? We have five camps for you! If STEM is your focus, we have several camps and a new music biz class. Don’t forget about the adult softball leagues, pickleball or karate classes. July is National Park & Recreation Month. Stop in and grab your PARKO card filled with activities for the family (page 10).

Leave the tech behind, grab a friend or the family and enjoy the summer in one of the Barrington Park District parks.

About Us

For over three decades, the BPD Preschool has been built on the understanding that your child’s happiness and growth are very important. We offer a play-based program with an emphasis on social, emotional, cognitive, physical and language development. Teachers encourage curiosity and strive to develop a love for learning. Each preschool day has a balanced schedule designed to address all developmental domains important to your child’s growth and development. We encourage children to socialize, interact cooperatively and gain independence so they can reach their full potential. With the support of amazing Park District facilities, parks and amenities, there is so much for your child to explore!

Curriculum/Facility

The preschool program includes both group and individual activities throughout the day that are play- based. Meaningful play encourages curiosity, discovery and problem solving. In our classrooms, you will find busy, happy children engaged in math, art, science, language, literacy, dramatic play, music and motor activities. Our school uses the Jolly Phonics© program (also used by School District 220) with all classes to help children learn letter sounds.

ABOUT THE INSTUCTOR

Chris Steinmetz’s career in LA took off quickly as he spent his first three sessions working with Paul Simon (Graceland), John Denver, and David Lee Roth. Within a year, Producer Michael Wagener took notice of Steinmetz and hired him to engineer many classic 80s hard rock albums. During his time in LA, Steinmetz also did freelance work for many other bands such as Kiss (with Producer Bob Ezrin), and Alice in Chains - as well as many feature films.

In 1996, Steinmetz moved back to his native Chicago to be closer to family. He served as Chief Engineer at Chicago Trax before beginning a 10 year run as Senior Music Producer / Engineer at the Chicago Recording Company. Provided with access to Chicago’s growing music scene, Steinmetz’s normal clientele began to integrate hard rock and hip-hop. Between 2004 and 2008 alone, he received credits on albums by Kanye West, Disturbed, Rihanna, Twista, Lil Jon, Usher, e-dub, and Jin with all going platinum or gold. During this time, Steinmetz also helped to pioneer the field of music mixing in 5.1 Surround Sound.

Chris Steinmetz created his own label, Stonecutter Records, in 2006 out of the desire to “advance artists to the next level in their careers and get them the exposure they deserve”. The label’s first project, Acoustic Chicago, is a compilation of 13 Chicago artists and features their music in an acoustic format to highlight songwriting ability.

Currently, Steinmetz splits his time between working as a freelance Music Producer/Engineer/Mixer, running his label Stonecutter Records and his newest creation, Stonecutter Studios.

8. Never take more than one practice swing, if any.

9. When you are playing slowly or looking for a lost ball, ask the group behind you to play through (skip ahead of you) so you do not slow everyone down.

10. Write down scores on the way to the next hole, not on the green you are leaving.

Reality-Based Self-Defense for Teens & Adults

AGES: 16 YEARS AND UP

Have you ever worried what you would do if you were the target of criminal violence? Could you protect yourself or the ones you love? If the above questions have ever been a concern, you will find both the skills and understanding with this training!

This program is tailored to busy individuals that do not have time to commit to formal marital arts training. It is a reality-based self-defense system blended with the sciences of anatomy and sports physiology.

All training is done with the following assumptions:

• Your attacker(s) are bigger, stronger, or have weapons.

• You are already being attacked (and your options to get away are gone).

It is a simple, safe, and devastatingly effective program using intuitive movements that anyone can do regardless of physical ability. It is slow paced with minimal stress. Students will learn to accurately target vulnerable structures and areas of the human body, build mental sight pictures and muscle memory – all with the goal to recall and use when it’s most needed.

No prior martial arts training is required.

This class is taught by Sensei Michael Christesen with over 30 years of martial arts instruction that includes Shotokan Karate, Jeet Kune Do, Japanese Jujitsu and Reality Based Self-Defense.

Our trained facilitators engage groups in activities that allow the participants to take ownership of their learning. Each program allows time for the participants to discuss the experience and relate the learning outcomes back to “real world” situations.

Teams Challenge Course: A variety of problem-based initiatives awaits the team as they are given challenges that might use ropes, cables, platforms, boards or a 12-foot wall. All challenges require teamwork from every member in order to accomplish the goal. Individual strengths are highlighted and the small group size allows for participation by everyone. These challenges take place on or near the ground and require focus, cooperation and trust. Over 20 stations are spread throughout the wooded trails.

Cooperative Games: Learn team-building skills while playing fun, active games. Cooperation, communication, strategy and good sportsmanship are stressed. Great for younger-aged groups!
