2025 Aquatic Season
Scan the code and bookmark the page for quick and easy access to stay updated on the latest news for the 2025 aquatic season! Check back often for updates.
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 (right) and check your tax statement to determine your residency status.

Dear Community Members, KidFest has always been a beloved tradition in Barrington, and we are so grateful for the community’s ongoing support. However, due to the timing of upcoming construction projects — the U.S. Route 14 Grade Separation Project right at the Citizens Park entrance and the referendum project construction at Langendorf Park — we’ve made the difficult decision to pause KidFest for 2025.
These construction projects will significantly impact accessibility and logistics and we want to ensure KidFest meets the high standards you’ve come to expect. That’s why we’re taking this time to plan for a bigger and better KidFest in 2026!
Mark your calendars for May 2, 2026 (date subject to change based on construction progress). We look forward to celebrating together again soon!
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
The Barrington Park District

Jr. Counselors in Training
AGES: 12 - 15 YEARS
Our Jr. Counselors in Training program is a three-day session for teens to learn how to lead and plan camp activities, implement safety procedures and understand the benefits of working in a team environment. This program is designed to help participants develop self-esteem, confidence and the ability to assume responsibility. Whether your teen is considering a camp counselor position, babysitting or other “first job” opportunities, this program provides a valuable training experience. Upon completion of the program, students who wish to be considered for a volunteer position with the BPD must go through a formal interview process the week of 5/19. Participants attending the Jr. C.I.T. program MUST attend all 3 days of training to be considered for a volunteer aide position. Participants are NOT guaranteed a volunteer aide position at one of the Park District’s summer camps. If the Jr. C.I.T. attends all 3 classes and completes the interview process successfully, they will be placed at a camp to volunteer for one week in the summer. For more information about the Jr. C.I.T. program, please call Kent Hengels at (847) 304-5273. (Min/Max: 6/12).

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. If this is your first experience with self-defense, or it has been some time since your last self-defense training, please register for the 1-Day Workshop in addition to the 6-week class.
Beginner experiencedand levels available.are
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.

GOLF LEARNING CENTER ETIQUETTE & SAFETY RULES
For the enjoyment of all, we ask all participants to observe the following safety and etiquette guidelines. Proper golf etiquette plays a large role in the game; it’s important that even the youngest players learn to obey proper etiquette. Inappropriate behavior will result in the golfer being asked to leave the course (no refund given).
1. Any child under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult (adults must be 16 years and up).
2. Both in practice and play, always make sure that no one is near you when you swing the club and no one is ahead of you where your shot might hit them.
3. Golfers must direct all balls at the appropriate greens only.
4. Always stand still when another player is playing. Do not talk.
5. Be ready to play when it is your turn.
6. If someone else is playing from the tee, do not tee your ball until he or she has played.
7. Do not tee off until the fairway and the green are clear of all golfers.
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.

The Barrington Park District offers a variety of Challenge Programs designed to meet the needs of a wide diversity of groups. All of our programs are designed to bring together or strengthen your group, and are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. We believe that participants absorb more when they are physically, socially, intellectually and emotionally involved in the learning process. 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!
