President’s Message

Although freezing temps and snowstorms tempt us to spend our winter recreation hours snuggled next to a warm fire, it’s a great time of year to join the Schaumburg Park District’s programs, activities and classes. We’ll help you forget that baby, it’s cold outside! To make signing up for District programs and events easier than ever, starting Nov. 2 we’re proud to launch a brand new registration system to enhance your online experience and add some amazingly cool features. You’ll now be able to share your registrations and program picks with friends through social media and email, and experience an easily-navigated mobile site. This new system is open to residents and non-residents. Registration dates remain the same with resident registration opening first. Whether you’ve been registering online for years, or are a newcomer to this convenience, once you create your account you’ll immediately become “live” to sign up for the District’s tremendous assortment of programs and events. It’s easy and convenient. Just visit parkfun.com and click on the familiar red-and-black ISPOT icon on the top right of your screen. Additional instructions for getting started are available on page 4. If you’ve used our current registration program between April 1, 2014 and Nov. 2, 2015 you will simply verify your existing information, receive a new password and voila! You’re all set. After creating your new account, check out our amazing selection of programming for all ages! Also new this season are expanded fitness opportunities and programming at the newly renovated Community Recreation Center. Drop in noon to 2 p.m., Nov. 21 to celebrate and tour the results of this major facelift to the District’s flagship facility. Renovations include 22,000 sq.ft. of renovated program and fitness space. We’ve repurposed lightly- used racquetball courts into aerobics and TRX studios, a personal training area and two before-and-after school program classrooms. A private music studio wing, senior area and ceramics room also are featured. We hope you enjoy visiting the “new” CRC. The renovation was a direct result of our most recent citizen survey that put it at the top of a priority list of facilities in need of improvements. We do our best to use the survey to guide our operations and provide our residents the best possible service. As we enter the holiday season, keep in mind that SPD gift cards make great gifts and convenient stocking-stuffers. Cards are available for purchase at all SPD facilities and may be used for registrations, memberships, massage and personal training services, and at the golf pro shops.

Or, for a truly heartfelt gift, you might consider purchasing a personalized Tribute Park brick for that hard-to-shop-for person on your list. Located at picturesque Volkening Lake, the park features a memorial pathway of engraved bricks commemorating friends, loved ones, pets, special occasions and cherished memories. All proceeds benefit the work of the Schaumburg Park Foundation to support recreation scholarships and other community projects. The Foundation offers another venue for unique gifts at its annual Holiday Bazaar from 10 a.m to 2 p.m., Dec. 8, at the Schaumburg Corporate Center located on the northeast corner of Schaumburg and Higgins Roads. And the District’s holiday favorites are back! Santa arrives via helicopter Dec. 6 at the Schaumburg Regional Airport. Everyone is invited to enjoy a pancake breakfast in the hangar and personally visit with him for a photo. Busy Santa also will appear at Jingle Paws on Dec. 5 and will make home visits to the very, very good Schaumburg children Dec. 8 and 9. New on the holiday event lineup is Brunch with the Grinch on Dec. 19. Celebrate the classic holiday story at a “green-inspired” brunch featuring games, crafts, and a visit from everyone’s favorite holiday humbug-er. On Dec. 31, the Itsy Bitsy New Year’s Eve Countdown will feature fun at the Sport Center with a balloon drop at noon. Do your holiday lights shine brighter than your neighbors? It might be the year your home wins the holiday decorating contest. Or, join the judges as they bus around town taking in the sights and voting on the win, place and show of outdoor holiday décor. Don’t slide into the post-holiday doldrums! Moms and sons will enjoy the Speedway Spectacular Date Night on Jan. 23 while dads and daughters will enjoy games, crafts, dinner and dancing at the Frozen Wonderland Dance on Feb. 20. An array of new fitness classes will burn off those holiday calories and help you keep your New Year’s resolution. The New Year Fit Fest from 8 a.m. to noon on Jan. 2 will feature a variety of exciting 20 to 30 minute fitness classes led by talented instructors. Brand new on the fitness lineup is TRX suspension training which uses gravity and your body weight to perform hundreds of exercises. And there’s so many other ways to Take Time for Fun and fitness this season … as you’ll read about in the hundreds of options found in the following pages. The Schaumburg Park District Board of Commissioners and dedicated staff wish you and your family the greetings of the season and happy New Year!

Northwest Special Recreation Association

Providing Recreation Services to Individuals with Special Needs The Schaumburg Park District is proud to be a member of the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). Throughout the northwest suburbs, NWSRA is the leader in providing outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer a multitude of year-round program offerings including sports, camping, social programs and more. Having fun, being included, making friends, learning new things and going new places are just a few of the benefits of NWSRA programs! Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the Park District (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program. Park District staff will contact NWSRA for assistance with the accommodation. Special Leisure Services Foundation, the fundraising arm of NWSRA, partners with public and private corporations, foundations and individuals to support and promote outstanding recreational opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. Throughout the year, the organization hosts a variety of fundraising events that help support accessible transportation, general programs, inclusion opportunities, the Kevin T. Kendrigan Memorial Scholarship program and NWSRA Lightning Athletes. For more information on NWSRA, brochures may be picked up at Schaumburg Park District facilities or at the NWSRA office at Park Central, 3000 W. Central Road in Rolling Meadows. NWSRA may be contacted at 847/392-2848 (voice), 392-2855 (TTY) or 392-2870 (fax). Check out NWSRA and SLSF on the internet at www.nwsra.org or www.facebook. com/nwsra.

To assist the District in making these accommodations, contact the compliance officer before the start of the program or event to discuss accommodations for a smooth inclusion. In addition to programs listed in this brochure, the Park District provides specialized services for people with disabilities through NWSRA.

The Schaumburg Park Foundation supports the mission of the Schaumburg Park District by raising funds at events and through direct donations. Funds are used primarily to support the Schaumburg Park District’s recreation scholarship program which provides funds for family memberships, programs and events to those who might not otherwise have the financial ability to participate in District activities. The Foundation also supports community-based projects such as the renovation of the museum at Spring Valley Nature Center.

The Brave Way Self Defense System

Originally certified by the State of Illinois to teach police officers, it’s one of the easiest to learn and most effective self-defense classes you can take. The techniques we teach will stop an attacker immediately, don’t require constant practice or years of training to master and work regardless of your age, size, strength, speed, skill or physical ability. Participants will learn to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations and to defend themselves if needed at work, home, dating and when traveling. You’ll learn defenses against armed/unarmed attackers; single/multiple attackers; standing/ground techniques; and rape defense/prevention. Each participant will receive a Personal Safety Guide to help promote safety in all areas of their lives. The class is targeted at teens and adults, but 8-11 year olds may sign up and take the class with a paying adult. This class could save your life!

Funt s ’

Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton’s challenge is twofold - not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant! Seussical JR. is great fun for the whole family.

The elves find a toy in the workshop they have never seen before. When they give it to Santa his adventure begins. This zany 30 min. musical is sure to bring a smile to your face! Santa’s Funtastic Adventure is part of the Twas a Saturday Night Before…holiday event. See page 70 for information.

3-Year-Olds

Preschool classrooms provide a nurturing environment for your child’s first learning experience. Learning through play is a child’s principal means of discovery. The InvestiGator Club™ curriculum allows the child the opportunity for scientific exploration, problem solving and dramatizations within the security of a child’s play. Children will enhance their social and language skills and develop independence. Some of the curriculum goals include following simple directions, colors, shapes and name recognition. This class emphasizes the development of coordination needed for jumping, catching, stacking, gluing, drawing and cutting.

Ready for Preschool, Still in Pull-Ups

This delightful class follows the InvestiGator Club™ curriculum for the 3-year-old program. Children who are in the process of potty training, but still need the reassurance of pull-ups may enroll. Parents must provide an emergency number and be available to come within 15 minutes and change the child if he/she has a bathroom accident.

English and Japanese Threes

Children fluent in either Japanese or English are welcome to register for this preschool class. In this play environment, children will build social skills and develop independence. Following simple directions, colors, shapes, name recognition, developing small motor skills such as cutting and gluing and large motor skills are some of the curriculum goals. The caring teachers will promote many stimulating learning opportunities. Your child’s preschool experience will be enriched when he/she attends this interactive class.

• Classes may be prorated.

Pre-Kindergarten

The InvestiGator Club™ curriculum appeals to a child’s curiosity and sense of wonder. It challenges children to think, solve problems, communicate. The curriculum also reflects Illinois Early Learning Standards, which will help children develop kindergarten readiness skills and self-confidence as they master math concept, beginning writing skills, story dictations and scientific problem solving. Field trips throughout the year enhance the child’s learning.

English/Japanese Preschool

Children fluent in either Japanese or English are welcome to register for this preschool class. The teachers will focus on developing kindergarten readiness skills including English letters and letter sounds as well as numerals. Children will learn colors and shapes in both languages. The classroom teachers will provide class experiences rich in both American and Japanese customs. This is a great class for Japanese children wishing to develop English language skills. Use those muscles to stretch and move! Each child should bring a healthy lunch. This delightful class allows children to build healthy bodies through lunch and play in the Creative Activity Room at CRC prior to returning to PSC. This is held in a peanut restricted environment. No peanuts or nut products may be brought into the program.

Make a smart start! With a small child’s vocabulary growing from 900 to 2,500 words between the ages of 3 and 5, preschool offers an excellent opportunity to broaden those new language skills through science, art, snack time, singing, acting out stories and discussing read-aloud books.
