SUMMER CAMP GUIDE SEE INSERT

We are turning 75 this year, so we are celebrating all year long!

a message from the

board president As you read this, the Palatine Park District is celebrating 75 years of service to our community. In that timespan, the Park District has grown into an invaluable source of recreation, open space and healthy options for all of us‌ young AND old!

Over our 75 year history, we have grown into areas such as before and after school programs, subsidization of a very active Senior Center, a system-wide bike/pedestrian trail network along with the traditional small, medium and large parks and recreation centers. We also own and maintain Palatine Hills Golf Course/Driving Range and the Palatine Stables (home of our 30 hard working schooling horses).

As commissioners, our main objective is to maintain the high quality of the facilities and programs while developing resources and programs that fit the needs of current and future users. For example; today, we have approximately 1,000 pickleball players in our district versus a negligible number just 5 years ago.

Through effective planning by your Palatine Park District Board and a great staff led by Executive Director Michael Clark, we continue to plan and develop for the next year to come. And yes, the next 75 years after that!

The celebration will culminate with a 75th Anniversary Picnic in the Park on Saturday, September 26, 2020!

Happy 75h Birthday to YOUR Palatine Park District!

Jay Cozza

President of the Palatine Park District Board of Commissioners

MISSION STATEMENT

POLICIES

CONDUCT ORDINANCE

SMOKING ORDINANCE

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.

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, which can be found on palatineparks.org.

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 Antibullying 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.

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: Jim Holder, 148 W. Illinois Avenue, 847.705.5131, jholder@palatineparks.org or Colleen Palmer, 250 E. Wood Street, 847.496.6232, cpalmer@palatineparks.org.

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.

Self-defense training covers a wide variety of unarmed and armed attack simulations with emphasis on controlling the attacker, self-defense options, and prevention and awareness pointers. Defenses are based upon the principles of physics which allow a smaller and weaker person to overcome a larger and stronger attacker. No special athletic ability required.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu helps children develop and apply genuine self-defense skills, agility, coordination, strength, and more. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu does not rely on size, strength or speed and uses a combination of submissions, escapes, and defensive techniques to neutralize dangerous situations.

In fact, the techniques taught in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will help your child defend themselves against a much larger opponent. See your child develop confidence and a positive self-image as they learn new techniques.

TIGER SHARKS SWIM TEAM

PALATINE TIGER SHARKS SWIM TEAM

Palatine Tiger Sharks Swim Team is a multi-ability-level program that offers competitive opportunities, technique development, and fun for swimmers ages 6 and older. The swim team is divided into progressive groups. Open tryouts are held twice a year (in March and August). If there is still space available, new swimmers may join the team at any time throughout the year by contacting the swim office at 847.202.3240 to schedule a tryout. Team coaches make the final determination for group placement and advancement to the next level. Group sizes may be limited.

Following a tryout, coaches will be able to give families approximate practice times and locations. Practice times and locations are subject to pool availability and may change.

Registration is held during regular office hours at any Palatine Park District facility. All swim team registration requires a separate registration form. Non-residents are required to pay an additional fee. Families registering more than two swimmers will receive a $15 discount starting with the third swimmer.

Registration fee plus the Swim Team fee are payable to Palatine Park District by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover.

Registration during Early Bird Registration guarantees a team t-shirt for each swimmer registered. After Early Bird Registration, a limited number of t-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additional Swim Team Fees are the same for both residents and nonresidents. Swim Team fees and escrow costs vary for each group.

Palatine Park District registration fees do not cover all Swim Team expenses so the additional swim team fees are necessary. All fees are paid at registration.

Each member of the Tiger Sharks Swim Team must be a member of Illinois Swimming and United States Swimming.

• Escrow covers costs of USA/ISI Swimming (an annual cost, expiring December 31 of each year; the USA/ISI fee is non-refundable) and of entering individual and relay events at swim meets. Any swimmer not registered with USA/ISI Swimming in the current year must pay an additional escrow fee. Unused escrow is refundable at the end of the season by contacting the swim board (escrow).

• Families can offset the cost of future swim team fees by participating in the team’s ongoing fundraising opportunities.

• Swim Team parents for all groups except Pre-Comp are required to volunteer during each of their child’s sessions at all Swim Team hosted meets. Failure to volunteer for any home meet will result in a charge of $100 for each meet session.

• Refunds follow Palatine Park District policy (pages 92-93).

SUSPENSION TRAINING (TRX) Originally developed in 2004 for US Navy SEALS, Suspension Training works every muscle in the body with varying degrees of body weight.

Enhance your balance, coordination, range of joint movement, strength, and aerobic fitness. Appropriate for all ages and fitness levels. Small group classes allow for plenty of individual instruction. Shorter class times keep you moving to make each movement better. Suspension training has become an excellent method for building bone and muscle density, particularly in the wrists, lumbar spine, and hips. Classes are progressive in nature as participants become more agile and fit throughout the session.

INTRODUCTION TO SUSPENSION TRAINING

Try something new and make a change in your exercise and your body with 30 minutes of TRX suspension training. Learn the basic movements, form considerations for safety and alignment while implementing a completely new exercise program. Balance, strength, aerobic, and range of motion fitness all emphasized.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC!

By Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II The final collaboration between Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II. The Sound of Music has become a play beloved around the world. Based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, this play captures a personal tale of growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. The Sound of Music tells the tale of a young postulant Maria Rainer, whose free spirit has trouble fitting into the rules and regulations of Nonnberg Abbey. Commissioned by the Mother Abbess to serve as the governess for seven motherless children, Maria transforms the Von Trapp family home from a place of dour rules and regulations to one filled with joy, with laughter, and with music.

SOMETHING ROTTEN!

By John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick and music and lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick Something Rotten! is a hysterical, joyous celebration of everything you love about Broadway.

Welcome to the Renaissance, where the Black Plague has ceded power to the Puritans, farthingales and codpieces are the latest fashion trend, and the biggest celebrity in England is a playwright named William Shakespeare.

In the midst of all this excitement, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are trying to keep their acting company afloat. In a desperate attempt to out-Bard the Bard, Nick consults with a soothsayer, who informs him that the future of theatre involves acting, singing, and dancing— sometimes all at once! As the Bottom brothers strive to write the world’s very first “musical”, they find themselves caught in a bitter battle with the Bard and the play's the thing.

THE WIZARD OF OZ

By L. Frank Baum with Music & Lyrics by Harold Arlen & E.Y. Harburg

Sunday, May 3, 3:30pm

L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life in The Wizard of Oz. This faithful adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company features all the most beloved songs and moments from the 1939 classic film, including Over the Rainbow and We’re off to see the Wizard, brought to life onstage.

Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home.

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 the basics of riding and working around our ponies. A parent or adult guardian is required to participate along with their child. Parents and participants should wear long pants and hard-soled shoes/boots, helmets are provided for use.

INTRODUCTION TO HORSEMANSHIP

This class is required for all new students. It 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. Learning how to handle these situations as a rider is an integral part of horsemanship and will be addressed in lessons.

RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS WAIVER

By their very nature, many Park District programs involve body contact, substantial physical exertion, emotional stress, and/or use of equipment which represents a certain risk. It is recommended that you check with your physician prior to participating in Palatine Park District activities. Palatine Park District does not provide insurance protection for participants in Park District activities. Please read the following information carefully and be aware that in registering yourself or your minor child/ward for participation in the above program(s), you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you or your child/ward might sustain arising out of the above program(s). I give my child permission to participate in this program, trip, or activity and hereby waive, release and forever discharge any and all claims against the Palatine Park District or its commissioners, employees, or volunteers for damages and/or injuries to the registrant, which may arise from participation in Palatine Park District programs. EMERGENCY TREATMENT: A minor may not be treated, even in an emergency, except when, in the opinion of the attending physician, a life is in the balance. Written consent is required for all treatment given in any hospital emergency room/center. Consent of a parent or legal guardian is necessary for unmarried minors, under 18, except in cases of extreme emergencies. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: As a parent and/or legal guardian, I do herewith authorize the treatment by a qualified and licensed medical doctor of the above minor in the event of a medical emergency which, in the opinion of the attending physician may endanger his/her life, cause disfigurement, physical impairment or undue discomfort if delayed. This authority is granted only after a reasonable effort has been made to reach me. The release form is completed and signed of my own free will with the purpose of authorizing medical treatment under emergency circumstances in my absence. Please list specific medical allergies, medicines, or other conditions on a separate piece of paper to be attached to this form.

Release and Hold Harmless Statement on registration form must be signed. PARTICIPATION WILL BE DENIED if the signature of adult participant or parent/ guardian and date are not on this waiver.
