ADULT TRIPS & EVENTS Stained Glessner

Scrooge

Deck the halls and tour the Glessner House in Chicago, a National Historic Landmark. This 17,000 square foot home was designed in the so-called Gilded Age, when America’s newly rich industrialists were living in modern day castles. The industry shattering design of the house created an integrated environment that is both medieval and modern. Learn the history of the family and the house in our docentguided tour of the home, decorated for the holidays. After our tour of the Glessner House, we head over to the 2nd Presbyterian Church for a tour of the Tiffany stained glass. Lunch is on your own at a local establishment.

This zany audience participation comedy is a must-see this holiday season at the White Pines Theatre in Oregon, IL. The story line is based on a loosely adapted version of Charles Dickens' timeless classic, "A Christmas Carol", featuring Scrooge and his ghostly visitors.

On his first day the teachers took him by hand and made him comfortable. I think I had a harder time than he did. He enjoyed every second at school with his teachers and friends and I couldn’t thank them enough for preparing him for kindergarten and giving him the confidence he needed. - Carol Stream Preschool Parent

READ ALL GUIDELINES Meet and Greet The meet and greet is a set time where players, parents and coaches meet each other and hand out any necessary information and in some cases receive their uniforms Player Evaluations Players get rated based on each skill set for that particular sport for the draft/team placement. Drafts are typically for ages 10U and above. All players are encouraged to attend.

Placed on a Specific Team Due to the nature of the program, we cannot accept any coach, player or carpool requests. However, one mutual friendship request is honored for players in a league for 2nd grade/8U and younger along with youth volleyball. Request deadlines are the same as registration deadlines (not an early bird).

Playing Up Playing up is not allowed for instructional soccer or tee-ball.

For all other leagues, playing up is allowed by one age or grade level. Any player seeking to play up must get permission from the league supervisor prior to registration. Any participant playing up must also register in person.

Parent Code Conduct By registering your child you agree to comply with the Parent Code of Conduct.

SWIMMING

SWIMMING The Carol Stream Park District’s Swim Academy has a variety of swim lessons for all ages, starting at six months old through teens and adults.

Swimmers are evaluated for swim level placement, and lessons are conducted in either the 25-yard lap pool or therapy pool at Fountain View Recreation Center depending on swimmer level or at Coral Cove Water Park.

MORE SWIM ACADEMY SWIMMING GUIDELINES

Group Lessons • Parents are not allowed on the pool deck. Parents may watch their child from the bleachers, or the viewing section.

• Due to limited staff availability, there are no makeups or rescheduling for any group lessons.

• Group ratios are subject to change depending on the age and ability of the swimmers.

• Swimmers will be evaluated during the first two classes. If the Instructor and Aquatics Supervisor feel the swimmer does not meet the requirements of the class, they will be moved up or down a level to best serve the needs of the child.

• If two or more swimmers from the same family would like to join the same swim class, we request you move the better swimmers down.

FAQ's Q: What are the ratios for swim lessons?
