DEAR VERNON HILLS RESIDENTS, 

Park Board 

Soon warmer weather will welcome you and your family back to the parks and playgrounds. In just a few 

months, kids will be having fun at summer camps and riding the slides at the Family Aquatic Center. New 

this summer, we are offering four 2-week day camp sessions to accommodate families’ busy schedules. 

We also eliminated bus routes to keep our camp fees low. We offer additional before/after camp care 

for all of our day camps. Information on our summer day camps can be found on pages 17-23. 

Family Aquatic Center season passes are on sale now! Purchase your pass before April 30th and save 10%. I hope 

everyone who enjoys our aquatic center all summer long will attend our Flick & Float movie nights and our Summer Splash 

pool party. Do you like to camp, but want to stay close to home? Spend an evening under the stars at the aquatic center 

on June 23-24. Swimming, s’mores, an outdoor movie and pancake breakfast are sure to please your whole family.

Our District has partnered with the Lake County Health Department on its county wide initiative to improve the health 

of Lake County residents. GO Vernon Hills is a community walking movement designed to promote health and wellness 

through activities, education and community collaboration. I encourage you and your family to make a commitment to 

move every day for 30 minutes! Join District staff on May 23 at our GO Vernon Hills kick-off walk. See page 8 for details. 

I’m proud to announce that Century Park is Illinois’ First Park District Park to Earn Arboretum Accreditation. 

Century Park is an urban collection of 120 cultivated tree and woody plant species, along with native 

grasses and wildflowers, which serves as an example of diversification in our urban forest. Join our 

District Certified Arborist on two scheduled walks, May 4 and June 30, to learn about the uncommon 

trees that grow in your neighborhood! Read more about our Century Park Arboretum on page 7.

In closing, Vernon Hills Park District was recently recognized as an Illinois Distinguished Accredited Agency, 

2018-2023, by the Illinois Association of Park Districts and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association. Your 

Park District has met state guidelines to provide exceptional services to the Vernon Hills community.

Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County 

The Vernon Hills Park District is a cooperative member agency of the Special Recreation Association of 

Central Lake County. SRACLC provides community based therapeutic recreation programs to people of 

all ages with disabilities or special needs. 

SRACLC is a cooperative effort of the Grayslake, Vernon Hills, and Mundelein Park Districts, and the 

Villages of Hawthorn Woods, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, and Lincolnshire. Individuals residing within the 

boundaries of the Member Agencies are considered “residents” of SRACLC and may utilize the services. 

SRACLC offers more than 500 weekly programs, special events, and camps during the year. SRACLC also 

recognizes that some people with disabilities prefer to participate in recreation programs within their 

own Park District or Recreation Department. SRACLC can help you with this opportunity by providing 

an extra staff, if deemed necessary, behavior management support, disability awareness training, and 

other adaptive services necessary for safe and successful participation. 

Contact the SRACLC office at (847) 816-4866 if you would like to receive a brochure or would like more 

information. The SRACLC Administration building is located in Hartmann Park, 290 Oakwood Drive, 

Vernon Hills.

Trees 

Trees are sold at cost, prices range from $250 - $450, depending on the type of species selected 

and size of tree. Tree donations are accepted year-round, but are only planted from spring to fall 

(weather permitting). Evergreens are only planted in the fall. All newly planted trees will have a 

25 gallon water bag placed at the base of their trunk and regularly watered for the first two years 

or until established. Should your donated tree become damaged or die, it will be replaced at no 

cost to you. Peripheral plantings, landscape enhancements, or markers are not permitted. 

Benches 

For those who like to walk in the parks, a bench donation might seem especially appropriate.

may be purchased at cost for $750 and personalized with a bronze plaque for an additional 

cost. Additional bench opportunities will be available in 2018 at Century Park South.

Vernon Hills Park District’s Century Park is Illinois’ First 

Park District Park to Earn Arboretum Accreditation 

The Vernon Hills Park District’s Parks Foreman/Horticulturist, Rick Krocza, had 

a vision for the District in his first week of employment in 2015. While on a tour 

of Century Park, he quickly counted 60 plus tree species. Aware of the ArbNet 

Arboretum Accreditation Program, he enlisted the help of District employee, 

James Schubert, Certified Arborist, and contracted Graf Tree Care, to aid in the 

inventory of tree species through Geographic Information System (GIS) tracking. 

Through this process, Rick was able to identify how many more species of trees 

were needed to achieve Accreditation. Rick explained, “In just three planting 

seasons, Century Park changed from a beautiful public park into a living collection 

of uncommon trees to serve as an example of diversification in our urban forest, 

and I’m just getting started, there are so many more species and varieties of trees 

to add.” 

Rick’s vision also included presenting the Century Park Arboretum as an 

educational tool to horticulture programs. “The diversification of trees in Century 

Park allows others to realize the abundance of trees that can be planted and thrive 

in the Midwest region of the United States”, he added. Moreover, each species of 

trees will be labeled in Century Park with a plaque and QR code further offering 

detailed information about the tree. His hope is that people in the park will selfeducate 

themselves on trees that can be planted on their properties. Rick plans on 

offering educational programs through the Park District in addition to park tours. 

The Century Park Arboretum, the first Park District park in Illinois to earn 

Arboretum Accreditation, is situated on 116 acres of land and water in Vernon 

Hills, Illinois, that was developed in 1976. It is a dynamic urban collection of 120 

cultivated tree and woody plant species, along with some native grasses and 

wildflowers with plans to be further expanded to showcase sustainable landscape 

management and the restoration of urban ecosystems. The Arboretum boasts 

a walking/biking path system that loops around Big and Little Bear Lakes, with 

access to parkland for recreational activities. 

Century Park is a mecca for summer activities including baseball and softball, 

cricket, basketball, volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoe, two playgrounds and 

exercise stations located along the trails. The lakes provide enjoyment for fishing, 

sailing, kayaking/canoeing and even stand-up paddle boarding! A Community 

Garden is lakeside. The abundance of open space contains 11 picnic shelters. 

The recreational opportunities continue into the winter months at the two outdoor 

ice rinks, sled hill and cross country skiing paths.

2018 - 2019 School Year 

It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where each 

child is recognized and appreciated. Our belief is that children learn best through 

creative play and exploration. We want to help you build upon your child’s love of 

learning. 

Our program will prepare your child for their kindergarten experience through 

developmentally appropriate activities. Our highly experienced staff will assist your 

children in developing a sense of independence and confidence as they develop social 

relationships with other children. Daily instruction is provided to foster your child’s 

literary, cognitive, and fine and gross motor skills. 

We offer the best value for your money! A new, secure, beautiful facility opened in January, 2017, with 

highly-qualified staff dedicated to teaching our young students! Our large classrooms are equipped with child-sized 

bathrooms and all new classroom furnishings. We have an expanded outdoor playground too! Consider our schoolyear 

preschool programs for 2-5 year olds for a consistent, developmentally appropriate educational program. 

Registration 

• Pre-registration is offered to returning students, prior to 

open registration. 

• New students must provide a copy of the child’s birth 

certificate or other proof of the child’s birth date must be 

submitted. 

2018/2019 Payment Schedule 

A $100 non-refundable/non-transferable deposit is due at 

the time of registration. The balance will be charged in

FAQs 

Do preschoolers need to be potty trained? 

Children in 2 Year Old Preschool do not need to be potty 

trained, however instructors are not responsible for 

changing diapers. Children in 3 and 4 Year Old Preschool 

must be potty trained. 

What is your discipline policy? 

We use a brief time-out in the classroom. Our goal in using 

this technique is to remove a child from the situation long 

enough to allow him/her to regain control of him/herself. 

Positive redirection is another core discipline procedure. 

Appropriate boundaries and rules for behavior are 

established early in the school year. 

Can I observe a class in session? 

Yes! Call Gail Herrmann at (847) 996-6808 to set up 

an appointment.

multi-dimensional characters, and tell moving stories. Gain skills in creative 

thinking and public speaking, building confidence in yourself and your craft.

during this class will be script writing, singing, dancing, and acting. The 

session culminates with a final performance that will be performed on stage.

Swim Lessons 

Select The 

Right Class 

Before Class 

Review the general descriptions. Choose the first class that lists a skill that 

your child has not yet mastered. 

First Day of Class 

Children’s skills will be assessed on the first day of class to ensure 

that they are placed in the proper level. Adjustments will be made 

if necessary. Swimming requires motor coordination and practice to 

become proficient. 

Keep in Mind 

It is not uncommon to spend more than one session in a particular level. 

This is especially true with levels 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, do not expect your 

child to automatically advance to the next level at the end of a session. 

Questions 

If you are unsure about your child’s abilities or have questions about the 

different courses or swim class policies, contact Robert Wood, Aquatic 

Supervisor at (847) 996-3488.

Lacrosse 

Camp 

The Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association is adopting the US 

Lacrosse “Players first” Athlete Development Model: The 

Right Lacrosse at the Right Time. Providing every athlete 

the opportunity to enter, enjoy and excel by learning 

and playing lacrosse in a way that’s best for each stage 

of growth and development. This creates a model 

of participation that provides opportunity for all, for 

life. Rationale for Small-Sided Competition: Smaller 

players, smaller fields. That’s the name of the game if 

we want to keep kids engaged, developing their skills 

and getting more touches on the ball. We’ll see better 

skill development, more enjoyment and increased retention 

rates by letting the kids play the right way. 

IGLA offers two levels of league play in the Spring: Pink and Purple. Both are 

recreational, community lacrosse. Pink teams practice once/week. Purple teams price 

twice/week and may travel more for games. Players considering Purple must first 

attend a skills assessment. 

To register, pay at the Vernon Hills Park District and register at www.iglax.org/ "Sign Up 

or Sponsor" (Spring 2018 Pink League or 6U FUNdamentals Clinic; Purple players will

happenings. Contact Cheryl Buhmann at (847) 996-6933 or cherylb@vhparkdistrict.org. 

Americans With Disabilities 

The Vernon Hills Park District will comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which 

prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services, or activities to individuals with 

disabilities. We invite any participant with a special need to contact our staff or our SRA staff, 

upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion can occur. If you have any questions regarding the 

Park District’s ADA policy, or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against in the provision 

of programs, services, or activities of the Vernon Hills Park District, please contact the District 

ADA Compliance Officer, Tom Ritter by mail at 635 N. Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061 or by 

telephone at 847-996-6802. For the deaf or hearing-impaired, call the Illinois Relay Center voice 

only operator at (800) 526-0857.

supervisor is authorized to make exceptions to these age ranges. Consideration will only be 

given once all age-appropriate participants have had an opportunity to register. 

Notary Public Services 

Notary public services are available at the Sullivan Community Center. Please remember that

Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Fees 

Vernon Hills residents significantly contribute to the operating budget of the Park District by 

paying property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the Park District are 

eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once per year, each Vernon Hills household is 

required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for resident rates. Families living within 

Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible to receive resident discounted rates for programs, 

Lakeview Fitness memberships, and Lakeview Fitness daily passes. The only exceptions are 

facility rentals and daily admission to the Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents 

must wait until the non-resident registration dates to register for programs. Non-resident fees 

are the second fees shown in program descriptions. These rates are not discounted and are 

necessary in order to ensure that non-resident participants contribute to the overall financing of 

the park system on an equitable basis with residents.

Senior discounts are available for individual passes and membership to our Fitness Center for 

residents aged 62 & older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic Center, a 20% discount

in our programs, or of people in the District’s parks. These pictures may be used for the Park 

District’s website, brochures, pamphlets, videos, flyers, social media, or for media promotion. 

Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its informational 

materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing Coordinator, at 

cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org. 

Vandalism 

Each year, vandalism costs the Park District thousands of dollars. Higher costs of maintenance, 

repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help. Should you see vandalism 

occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-4449. 

Discipline 

A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff periodically reviews rules with 

participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt 

resolution will be sought and the Behavior Code of Conduct will be used as a guideline. The Park 

District reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions endanger the safety of himself 

or others.
