DEAR VERNON HILLS RESIDENTS,<br />
Park Board<br />
Soon warmer weather will welcome you and your family back to the parks and playgrounds. In just a few<br />
months, kids will be having fun at summer camps and riding the slides at the Family Aquatic Center. New<br />
this summer, we are offering four 2-week day camp sessions to accommodate families’ busy schedules.<br />
We also eliminated bus routes to keep our camp fees low. We offer additional before/after camp care<br />
for all of our day camps. Information on our summer day camps can be found on pages 17-23.<br />
Family Aquatic Center season passes are on sale now! Purchase your pass before April 30th and save 10%. I hope<br />
everyone who enjoys our aquatic center all summer long will attend our Flick & Float movie nights and our <strong>Summer</strong> Splash<br />
pool party. Do you like to camp, but want to stay close to home? Spend an evening under the stars at the aquatic center<br />
on June 23-24. Swimming, s’mores, an outdoor movie and pancake breakfast are sure to please your whole family.<br />

Vernon Hills Park District’s Century Park is Illinois’ First<br />
Park District Park to Earn Arboretum Accreditation<br />
The Vernon Hills Park District’s Parks Foreman/Horticulturist, Rick Krocza, had<br />
a vision for the District in his first week of employment in 2015. While on a tour<br />
of Century Park, he quickly counted 60 plus tree species. Aware of the ArbNet<br />
Arboretum Accreditation Program, he enlisted the help of District employee,<br />
James Schubert, Certified Arborist, and contracted Graf Tree Care, to aid in the<br />
inventory of tree species through Geographic Information System (GIS) tracking.<br />
Through this process, Rick was able to identify how many more species of trees<br />
were needed to achieve Accreditation. Rick explained, “In just three planting<br />
seasons, Century Park changed from a beautiful public park into a living collection<br />
of uncommon trees to serve as an example of diversification in our urban forest,<br />
and I’m just getting started, there are so many more species and varieties of trees<br />
to add.”<br />
Rick’s vision also included presenting the Century Park Arboretum as an<br />
educational tool to horticulture programs. “The diversification of trees in Century<br />
Park allows others to realize the abundance of trees that can be planted and thrive<br />
in the Midwest region of the United States”, he added. Moreover, each species of<br />
trees will be labeled in Century Park with a plaque and QR code further offering<br />
detailed information about the tree. His hope is that people in the park will selfeducate<br />
themselves on trees that can be planted on their properties. Rick plans on<br />
offering educational programs through the Park District in addition to park tours.<br />
The Century Park Arboretum, the first Park District park in Illinois to earn<br />
Arboretum Accreditation, is situated on 116 acres of land and water in Vernon<br />
Hills, Illinois, that was developed in 1976. It is a dynamic urban collection of 120<br />
cultivated tree and woody plant species, along with some native grasses and<br />
wildflowers with plans to be further expanded to showcase sustainable landscape<br />
management and the restoration of urban ecosystems. The Arboretum boasts<br />
a walking/biking path system that loops around Big and Little Bear Lakes, with<br />
access to parkland for recreational activities.<br />
Century Park is a mecca for summer activities including baseball and softball,<br />
cricket, basketball, volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoe, two playgrounds and<br />
exercise stations located along the trails. The lakes provide enjoyment for fishing,<br />
sailing, kayaking/canoeing and even stand-up paddle boarding! A Community<br />
Garden is lakeside. The abundance of open space contains 11 picnic shelters.<br />
The recreational opportunities continue into the winter months at the two outdoor<br />
ice rinks, sled hill and cross country skiing paths.<br />

favorite touches like bubbles, parachutes, rings, dots, beach balls, and cones<br />
to help children of every skill level learn how to take to coaching and work<br />
both individually and collectively within a group. You will watch your child's<br />
attitude and confidence grow as he or she starts owning the soccer process<br />

FAQs<br />
Do preschoolers need to be potty trained?<br />
Children in 2 Year Old Preschool do not need to be potty<br />
trained, however instructors are not responsible for<br />
changing diapers. Children in 3 and 4 Year Old Preschool<br />
must be potty trained.<br />
What is your discipline policy?<br />
We use a brief time-out in the classroom. Our goal in using<br />
this technique is to remove a child from the situation long<br />
enough to allow him/her to regain control of him/herself.<br />
Positive redirection is another core discipline procedure.<br />
Appropriate boundaries and rules for behavior are<br />
established early in the school year.<br />
Can I observe a class in session?<br />
Yes! Call Gail Herrmann at (847) 996-6808 to set up<br />

Select The<br />
Right Class<br />
Before Class<br />
Review the general descriptions. Choose the first class that lists a skill that<br />
your child has not yet mastered.<br />
First Day of Class<br />
Children’s skills will be assessed on the first day of class to ensure<br />
that they are placed in the proper level. Adjustments will be made<br />
if necessary. Swimming requires motor coordination and practice to<br />
become proficient.<br />
Keep in Mind<br />
It is not uncommon to spend more than one session in a particular level.<br />
This is especially true with levels 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, do not expect your<br />
child to automatically advance to the next level at the end of a session.<br />
Questions<br />
If you are unsure about your child’s abilities or have questions about the<br />
different courses or swim class policies, contact Robert Wood, Aquatic<br />
Supervisor at (847) 996-3488.<br />

Lacrosse<br />
Camp<br />
The Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association is adopting the US<br />
Lacrosse “Players first” Athlete Development Model: The<br />
Right Lacrosse at the Right Time. Providing every athlete<br />
the opportunity to enter, enjoy and excel by learning<br />
and playing lacrosse in a way that’s best for each stage<br />
of growth and development. This creates a model<br />
of participation that provides opportunity for all, for<br />
life. Rationale for Small-Sided Competition: Smaller<br />
players, smaller fields. That’s the name of the game if<br />
we want to keep kids engaged, developing their skills<br />
and getting more touches on the ball. We’ll see better<br />
skill development, more enjoyment and increased retention<br />
rates by letting the kids play the right way.<br />
IGLA offers two levels of league play in the <strong>Spring</strong>: Pink and Purple. Both are<br />
recreational, community lacrosse. Pink teams practice once/week. Purple teams price<br />
twice/week and may travel more for games. Players considering Purple must first<br />
attend a skills assessment.<br />
To register, pay at the Vernon Hills Park District and register at www.iglax.org/ "Sign Up<br />

General Information<br />
Vernon Hills Police<br />
Through a cooperative agreement with the Village of Vernon Hills, all parks and park facilities<br />
are policed by the Vernon Hills Police Department. Police are radio dispatched and may be<br />
summoned by calling (847) 362-4449.<br />
Speakers Bureau<br />
Local groups are encouraged to invite our staff to your meetings to speak about Park District<br />
happenings. Contact Cheryl Buhmann at (847) 996-6933 or cherylb@vhparkdistrict.org.<br />
Americans With Disabilities<br />
The Vernon Hills Park District will comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which<br />
prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services, or activities to individuals with<br />
disabilities. We invite any participant with a special need to contact our staff or our SRA staff,<br />
upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion can occur. If you have any questions regarding the<br />
Park District’s ADA policy, or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against in the provision<br />
of programs, services, or activities of the Vernon Hills Park District, please contact the District<br />
ADA Compliance Officer, Tom Ritter by mail at 635 N. Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061 or by<br />
telephone at 847-996-6802. For the deaf or hearing-impaired, call the Illinois Relay Center voice<br />
only operator at (800) 526-0857.<br />
Food Allergy Policy<br />
The Park District will attempt to accommodate each program participant who has a food allergy<br />
in order to provide the safest learning environment possible. A Food Allergy Action Plan will<br />
be created by the District staff and parents and will identify operational practices for parents,<br />
teachers, and children to follow. For a copy of the Food Allergy Policy, contact Tom Ritter,<br />
Superintendent of Recreation, at (847) 996-6802.<br />
No Smoking Policy<br />
In addition to the Smoke Free Illinois Act, the entire Park District which includes all facilities,<br />
buildings, parks, streets, paths, open space and all waters, is designated as tobacco free.<br />

Age Qualification<br />
The District establishes appropriate age qualifications for each of its programs. Only the program<br />
supervisor is authorized to make exceptions to these age ranges. Consideration will only be<br />
given once all age-appropriate participants have had an opportunity to register.<br />
Notary Public Services<br />
Notary public services are available at the Sullivan Community Center. Please remember that<br />
documents must be signed in the presence of the Notary Public.<br />
Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Fees<br />
Vernon Hills residents significantly contribute to the operating budget of the Park District by<br />
paying property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the Park District are<br />
eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once per year, each Vernon Hills household is<br />
required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for resident rates. Families living within<br />
Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible to receive resident discounted rates for programs,<br />
Lakeview Fitness memberships, and Lakeview Fitness daily passes. The only exceptions are<br />
facility rentals and daily admission to the Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents<br />
must wait until the non-resident registration dates to register for programs. Non-resident fees<br />
are the second fees shown in program descriptions. These rates are not discounted and are<br />
necessary in order to ensure that non-resident participants contribute to the overall financing of<br />
the park system on an equitable basis with residents.<br />
Senior Citizen Discount<br />
Senior discounts are available for individual passes and membership to our Fitness Center for<br />
residents aged 62 & older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic Center, a 20% discount<br />
will be applied.<br />
Payment Policy<br />
Households with an unpaid balance will not be allowed to register for any Vernon Hills Park<br />
District programs, activities, memberships, or rentals until the balance is paid in full. For<br />
assistance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Operations Manager at (847) 996-6803.<br />
NSF Policy<br />
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned due to non-sufficient funds (NSF).<br />
Photo & Video Policy<br />
On occasion, the District staff or contractors may take pictures or video footage of participants<br />
in our programs, or of people in the District’s parks. These pictures may be used for the Park<br />
District’s website, brochures, pamphlets, videos, flyers, social media, or for media promotion.<br />
Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its informational<br />
materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing Coordinator, at<br />
cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org.<br />
Vandalism<br />
Each year, vandalism costs the Park District thousands of dollars. Higher costs of maintenance,<br />
repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help. Should you see vandalism<br />
occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-4449.<br />
Discipline<br />
A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff periodically reviews rules with<br />
participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt<br />
resolution will be sought and the Behavior Code of Conduct will be used as a guideline. The Park<br />
District reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions endanger the safety of himself<br />
or others.<br />
