You’ll learn how you can manage and accommodate common agerelated changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

Lights, Camera, Action - Making Your Own Harry Potter™ Movie Camp

NEW! Keyboarding and Coding Kids

What’s the next adventure for Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione? It’s up to you! We will create our own Harry Potter movie using special movie making cameras and software. As directors and producers we will work in teams to create our own story and script, build scenes out of Lego®, use Lego Harry Potter mini figures as characters and film our own movie. We will use graphic editing techniques and stop motion animation, add background noise and music, and show our movie at a private screening on the last day of class. All students will get a copy of their movie on a CD after class is complete. This is a cooperative program with the Lisle Park District.

The technology revolution continues to unfold and the wave of digital learning is a reality. Knowing how to use computers as tools (not just toys) is a key component of core curriculum. Young learners need to know keyboarding, functionality and coding to be ready to embrace their upcoming academic adventures. The expert staff of Smart Starters, Inc. delivers instruction on the tools students need in a dynamic, fun and challenging environment - including knowledge of true keyboarding function keys, safe Internet habits, document building and coding.

Students are 1:1 on the provided net book computers. All programs are downloaded, so the student will not be online during class. Weekly progress reports are sent home with students. This is a cooperative program with Lisle Park District.

GOLFGOLF One of Robert Bruce Harris’ first designs, Village Greens of Woodridge has been a staple of Chicagoland golf for over 40 years. Rich in natural wooded beauty, 18 holes of championship golf in a picturesque setting await you. Widely-known as one of the best values for golf in the Chicago area, Village Greens is a challenge worth telling your friends about. The course terrain is hilly and rolling with a variety of mature trees lining each fairway. Water comes into play on a number of holes, and sand bunkers lurk in strategic positions. Undulating greens, large landing areas and multiple tees on all holes create a course of both beauty and playability.

Tae Kwon Do

Shotokan Adult Karate

Tae Kwon Do is a Korean Style of combining the hands and feet in a method of unarmed self-defense. Instruction is centered around physical conditioning, a series of patterned movements that develop grace and coordination, and controlled sparring and self-defense practice. Black Belt instructors teach proper technique in these areas, monitor all students practice, and provide a structured teaching environment for students of all ages. Tae Kwon Do can bring out a heightened sense of confidence, physical awareness, and well-being in each and every student. All students begin at the rank of white belt.

To advance to a higher belt or rank, the student must demonstrate his or her abilities at periodic promotional examinations held at Kim’s Black Belt Academy. Note: Uniforms are available through the instructor.

Release tension and develop total body fitness! In addition to self-defense skills, karate develops flexibility and muscle tone, all while improving core strength. From work to home, the benefits of karate can be felt in all aspects of life. Uniforms and Belt Testing are options available through the ISKC instructor.

City of Angels took place in Los Angeles, 1940’s. It’s double the laughs and double the intrigue as two plots unfold at once when a young New York writer is brought to Los Angeles to turn his best-selling crime novel into a screenplay. As we follow the writer’s travails in the film industry, where the ‘envy is so thick, you can cut it with the knife lodged in every other back’, the novel’s private-eye comes to life in the evening’s split screen plot. With a dazzling, jazzy score by Cy Coleman and David Zippel and a brilliant book by Larry Gelbart, this musical is played on two stages, ‘only one of which is reel, while the other is only real!’ Lunch is prior to the performance, with a choice of grilled salmon or roasted sirloin of beef.

The Park District is now sponsoring a program specifically targeting arson prevention through the new Arson Tipster Award Program. The Arson Tipster Program rewards residents for providing information that leads to the arrest of the arson perpetrator or conspirator. All communication between the Woodridge Park District and the Arson Tipster is kept strictly confidential.

Waterfowl Concerns Regular feeding of waterfowl can cause dependency on people for food, bird and people conflicts, and the spread of disease. Please refrain from feeding the birds at Lake Carleton and Lake Harriet along with other lakes in the area. The waterfowl have become used to handouts and no longer migrate south in the winter. The once wild birds have become tame and have lost their fear of cars and people, which can lead to traffic problems and possible injury. With the growing populations of waterfowl in small concentrated areas, the competition for food is high.

The less nutritious handouts and harsh weather increase their susceptibility to life threatening diseases. We ask that you please do not feed the waterfowl. Thank you for your support. For more information, please contact the Woodridge Park District at (630) 353-3300.

No refunds will be given for a trip unless there is a replacement participant or the trip is cancelled.
