Winter Program Catalog 2023

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

The Board of Commissioners wants to thank all our patrons as the Palatine Park District gets back to our normal operations while the country returns to “business as usual.” It was difficult for everyone as our lives and regular schedules were disrupted by the rules we followed during the pandemic to keep our staff and our residents healthy. We are continuing to abide with current safety guidelines.

As winter approaches, please take a look at our quarterly Program Catalog that is mailed to every household in the district, check out our website at palatineparks.org or install the free Palatine Park District app on your phone or computer. You will find that we have programs and activities for every resident from tots to seniors. Do you want to stay active? Start at the two indoor walking tracks or visit the fitness center at the Community Center or the indoor pool at Harper College Volleyball, basketball and pickleball are scheduled weekly and are also available as drop-in games at several of our facilities.

If you like history, you must visit the Palatine Historical Society at the Clayson House Museum. Bring the whole family and learn how Palatine grew from a small quiet farming area to a bustling suburb. For an extra treat, visit during the month of December to see how Christmas was celebrated over a hundred years ago.

Enjoy the theater or music? Look up the offerings at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center and the choral groups for children and adults. For outdoor winter activities, there is ice skating and cross-country skiing. Celebrating a child’s birthday? Let the park district staff help you plan a special event at Palatine Stables, the indoor pool at Harper College or one of our other facilities. Choices range from Bubble Soccer, Bounce Houses, Nerf Adventures, Inflatable Obstacle Courses, Magic and turf or gym parties. Make it a day to remember!

If you are looking for an affordable place to hold an event, you might want to consider renting one of the many indoor facilities that the park district has. For instance, Falcon Park Recreation Center offers banquet rooms with space for everything from class reunions to wedding showers and receptions. The Palatine Hills Golf Course clubhouse is perfect for smaller get-togethers of friends or families, and Birchwood Recreation Center, Cutting Hall, the Community Center, and Palatine Stables also offer a variety of spaces and amenities for almost any special occasion. You will find reasonable pricing and helpful staff to make your occasion an event to remember!

The Board of Commissioners’ goal is to promote the district’s values through integrity, communication, accountability, collaboration, and leadership. Our meetings are open to the public and are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at the Palatine Village Hall. We welcome your input and comments at the meetings or by email.

Please enjoy your parks!

Sue Gould, President Board of Park Commissioners

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.

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

KIDS LIFE COACHING SERIES

NEW YEAR'S CHOCOLATE BRIDGES OF HOPE

Having hope is that bridge until we get to the other side. As we set intentions for the new year, we must act (strategies), and not just sit in hope. Smashing negative thoughts, knowing our strengths, using humor, having emotional self-control, and a growth mindset are just some of the techniques we will learn. Envisioning a better outcome for the year can be very motivating for kids. To dramatize the concept of hope, we will engineer a Hershey’s decked out Truss or Suspension chocolate candy bridge while we learn about the world’s most decadent bridges. Kids will experience a hurricane dramatization that will blow through the room to be sure their bridge is structurally sound! Participants may take their edible creation home or eat it on the spot! This workshop is truly the perfect blend of S.T.E.M. meets Life Coaching!

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.

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. Please note that any session of Group Riding Lesson fees can be pro-rated to accommodate a participant's schedule, such as family vacations, school events, or any absence that would be known at the time of registration.
