POLICIES CONDUCT 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.

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 Anti-bullying 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.

Learn the answers to your questions at our day camp, and learn to ride, too! Day campers will take a 45-minute riding lesson each day and learn the basics of horse care.

SKETCHNOTING Sketchnoting is a form of notetaking that combines text and visuals.

Using text and visuals while notetaking activates both sides of your brain which in turn helps you focus on the content, process and organize information in a meaningful way. This summarizes information to help you remember what you learned. Sketchnoting is all about the ideas not about the art. Doodles are quick and simple to help you make connections. No prior art skills necessary to be a sketchnoter.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS BASIC

PREMIUM

360 TONING: This class focuses on strengthening and toning all major muscle groups. Each class varies by using a multitude of equipment and methods.

CARDIO AND STRENGTH CONDITIONING: This class will focus on low weight and high repetition exercises aimed to tone the entire body. Minimal equipment will be used for this class.Bringing a mat is recommended.

CARDIO STRETCH: Combines dance, calisthenics and plyometrics, plus stretching for a greater range of movement.

ZUMBA®: This class takes the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorieburning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise.

TABATA: This high intensity interval training combines cardio and strength exercises in 4-minute blocks. This is a fast paced, fun, calorie burning workout. Class is adapted to all fitness levels.

SOUL FUSION: Low impact, high intensity, body transforming format using Pilates and Yoga inspired moves to sculpt long, lean muscles, and burn fat.

BALANCE AND STRENGTH: Focus on stability to improve balance, strength, and flexibility while strengthening your core.

STRENGTH AND STRETCH: Exercisers will focus on building strength and flexibility with this full body tone and stretch from your head to your toes.

CARDIO TRANSFORM: Transform your body and burn fat with this HIIT workout. A step platform will be used to increase the intensity of this workout to sculpt your body into the shape you want.

STEP & CORE: High intensity step aerobics with functional core strengthening.

ZUMBA® TONING: Zumba® Toning is for those who want a dance party, but also want to tone and sculpt muscles! The challenge of adding resistance by using Zumba® Toning Sticks (or light weights), helps you focus on specific muscle groups, so you (and your muscles) stay engaged.

A raucous, pop-rock-musical send-up of gender expectations and stereotypes... that takes it all off.

Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show. The powerhouse team of Terrence McNally (Ragtime) and David Yazbek (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) cooks up.

While spying on their wives at a "Girls' Night Out," a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash.

In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally.

As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they're stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to "let it go." The Full Monty is a story full of heart. Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off.

With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming, upbeat comedy is a must for any theatre-goer.

INTRODUCTION TO HORSEMANSHIP

Min/Max: 3/6 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. "How to" handle these situations as a rider are an integral part of horsemanship and will be addressed in lessons.
