Greetings from YOUR New Lenox Community Park District!I would like to start off by thanking all sponsors, vendors, local community groups, Windy City Amusements, Menards and Walmart and all of you, the general public, for making this past July’s Proud American Days another successful community event. Even though the weather on Thursday and Friday put a damper on the events scheduled for those days, Saturday and Sunday proved to be wonderful, both weather wise and in attendance. Sunday’s Military Tribute event was very well attended and we want to thank all of you who made the effort to come out on Sunday morning to honor our military men and women.

I’m sure most of you would agree with me that summers are way too short and that winter seems to come quicker every year. Your Park District Staff realizes that some of the best ways to cope with winter is to get involved with the vast array of high quality recreational programs we have to offer. There are numerous programs to choose from inside this catalog, but I would like to highlight a few of the NEW programs that are available. These new programs include:

• Cooking Classes – Lil’ Sprouts Core Cooking and L.E.A.N. (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition)• Teen Pizza & Paint• Peter Rabbit’s Breakfast• Advanced Basketball Training

Please take an in-depth look at ALL the programs that are available. You will be surprised on how being active makes the winter months more enjoyable.

Your Park District is highlighting the importance of recreational activity with its immediate and long-term positive effects through a new catalog theme of Beyond The Swing Set. It is a generally accepted principle that physical recreational activity improves one’s health. So “prescribing” recreational activity within your Park System is a low cost way to influence positive health outcomes while having fun at the same time. I think everyone would agree that if you took a nice brisk walk in one of our parks, you would come away feeling both physically and mentally refreshed. Walking is one of the simplest forms of activity, yet one of the most beneficial. It has been reported that walking can help decrease the risk of heart attacks, decrease the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, while reducing stress and depression levels. It is widely agreed that our society has become less active. In fact, one study reports that in 1970, 66% of our children walked to school. Today, only 13% walk!

We want to increase the awareness of the positive benefits of your Park System to our local community. The benefits are not only enjoying Mother Nature and all the programs that the “Great Outdoors” has to offer, but also by taking part in indoor programs that provide positive health outcomes that you cannot obtain by taking a pill and sitting on a couch.

I know the pharmaceutical companies would probably disagree with this statement, but one could argue that your New Lenox Community Park System is Mother Nature’s way of “Free Medicine.”

So take the first step. Sign up for a program, possibly with a friend or family member and make a recreational activity part of your everyday life cycle. Before you know it, you will be feeling better both inside and out.

Remember…Be Active and Stay Healthy!

Sincerely,Brian FischerPark Board President

We’re listening...National Recreation & Parks Association (NPRA) is launching the “Americans' Engagement with Parks Survey”, a new annual research series that tracks the general public's interaction with and support for public parks. The survey results released each fall will provide park and recreation professionals, policymakers and other key stakeholders with insights on what Americans think about parks and how they use them. In the inaugural survey we found:

Americans visit their local park and recreation facilities on average 29 times a year

90 percent of Americans agree that parks and recreation is an important local government service

75 percent support increased local government spending for parks and recreation

70 percent say they are more likely to vote for local politicians who make park and recreation a funding priority

3 in 4 Americans agree that conservation, health and wellness, and social equity represent what they see as priorities for parks and recreation

What does it Really Mean?The theme for our next series of catalogs, Beyond the Swing Set, was created through the New Lenox Community Park District’s participation at the Illinois Association of Park District’s “Parks Day at the Capitol”. This event highlights the importance of parks and recreation in the health and happiness of everyone throughout the State of Illinois. The purpose of this sentiment is to show that all parks and recreation agencies provide many more services and create a much larger impact than most people realize. Just a few of the noteworthy and standout contributions all Park Districts and Recreation and Park Departments nationally provide include:

• $140 billion in economic activity• One million jobs from operations and capital expenditures• State of Illinois’ economic impact ranks the 2nd largest with

nearly $13 million in transactions, over $5 million in labor income and over 96,000 jobs

Beyond economic impact, local and regional park agencies are important assets that connect communities throughout the U.S. Participants are provided with added benefits that improve the quality of their lives through various initiatives including:

• Improved health through affordable recreational activities

• Closer connection to nature bringing about a greater sense of community and social equity

• Essential services are offered with childcare services for working parents with 50% of agencies offering afterschool programs and 80% offering summer camps

• Works to meet the needs of special need populations through involvement, acceptance and adapted sports.

Through the promotion of our message, Beyond the Swing Set, we do hope that more individuals and participants realize the vital role park districts play in our mission to “improve the quality of life in our community” goes far beyond our parks, playgrounds and swing sets. If you would like to review more information about the industry’s impact, visit www.nrpa.com.

What does Kiddie Kampus offer its participants?

Children learn many things before going to Kindergarten. The New Lenox Community Park District offers preschool classes designed to develop social, emotional and physical skills to ensure school readiness. A child’s separation from parents and involvement with a non-family member is one of many major steps towards his/her development. Kiddie Kampus provides a safe and supportive environment for your child’s first school experience while increasing his/her self-esteem and confidence through age appropriate instruction. Covered during the year are color, shape and number recognition, an introduction to number concepts and letter recognition. Your child’s quest for learning will be nurtured through creative play, building friendships, working individually and cooperating as part of a group. These activities promote patience, sharing and the awareness that there is a whole world of people surrounding and supporting them. Songs, stories, activities and games are used for reinforcement and fun.

What requirements are necessary for Kiddie Kampus registration?

1. A copy of your child’s birth certificate MUST be provided at registration. A child must be four (three for the 3-year old program), on or before Sept. 1, 2017 and must be able to handle bathroom hygiene independently (potty-trained, no diapers). It is very helpful if the child is able to zip/button independently.

2. A $50 non-refundable registration fee, first month’s tuition, along with a T-shirt fee of $10 (if needed) will be collected beginning March 11 from 8:00am-11:00am while pre-registering your child. The remainder of the fees are then divided into eight equal monthly payments. All payments are due on the 15th of the month, beginning September 15th. A late fee of $25 will be assessed to any account that is delinquent.

3. If you pay your full tuition payment at time of registration, the $50 non-refundable registration fee will be waived.

4. A voter’s card or tax bill is required at registration for verification of residency.

Our Kiddie Kampus follows New Lenox School District 122’s calendar year for all full days off except for our Winter Break. Kiddie Kampus is still in session when there is a half-day for New Lenox School District 122.

Early Childhood

Program Requirements• Children must be the correct age by 9/1/16, unless

otherwise specified. In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our brochure.

• Although your child may turn the correct age during a second session of a program, our age requirement date coincides with the school district’s date to assist with the fundamental growth of the child in the age appropriate programs and therefore would not be eligible for registration.

• Classes are for child attending only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships.

• All children must be potty-trained, unless they are attending a class where an adult stays with them or otherwise stated in the class description. Diapers are not permitted in independent classes unless stated in the class description.

• Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged.

• For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool-age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals.

• A mandatory sign-in and sign-out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District Programs.

Classes that require a parent and child to attend are shown with this icon.

For cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. inclement weather, facility emergencies or scheduling conflicts), which are announced by the Lincoln-Way District #210 or New Lenox School District #122 at facilities where Park District programs are scheduled, Park District programming will be cancelled as well. All attempts will be made to reschedule cancelled classes. However, the New Lenox Community Park District is sometimes unable to accommodate make-up classes and will not refund money in such instances.

PROGRAM BEHAVIOR POLICYParticipants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff.

• Show respect to participants and staff; take direction from staff.

• Refrain from using abusive or foul language, or from causing bodily harm to self, other participants, or staff.

• Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. The New Lenox Community Park District reserves the right to terminate a party’s participation in a Park District program due to that party’s disruptive behavior or conduct.

PROGRAM CATALOG DISTRIBUTIONOur seasonal catalogs are distributed inside the New Lenox Patriot Newspaper. This free newspaper for New Lenox residents only can be subscribed to by visiting 22ndcenturymedia.com/req/np. For park district residents outside of New Lenox, the Park District relies on the postal service for distribution of our program catalogs. The Park District assumes no responsibility for delivery. Please contact us at 815.485.3584 if you do not receive your catalog.

FOR YOUR SAFETYA mandatory sign-in and sign-out procedure is required for all participants enrolled in any Park District program. Children must be accompanied by an adult when being escorted to and from class.

LIABILITYThe New Lenox Community Park District is unable to assume responsibility for injuries, accidents or loss of personal property occurring during programs or activities, in parks or facilities. Such insurance would make programs and user fees prohibitive. It is recommended that participants make provisions to provide this coverage through their family insurance program.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMIf you are (1) a New Lenox resident and (2) cannot participate for financial reasons, you may be eligible for financial aid. Please contact the Park District’s Director of Recreation at 815.485.3584 for an interview. Please note that the maximum household scholarship benefit is $1,000 per year.

MILITARY DISCOUNTWe are pleased to offer a military discount for those who qualify. Please contact 815.485.3584 for further information and details.
