Vision Statement<br />
Addressing the lifelong leisure needs of all Vernon Hills residents.<br />
Dear Vernon Hills Residents,<br />
It’s the time of year for making New Year’s Resolutions. Whether yours is to explore the outdoors, commit to get fit, or<br />
investigate a new hobby, the Park District is your place to make it happen in <strong>2020</strong>!<br />
Mission Statement<br />
To promote diverse community based recreational<br />
opportunities by providing a variety of programs,<br />
services, facilities, and natural spaces to<br />
enhance the quality of life for<br />
our residents.<br />
Have you visited Lakeview Fitness? This is a great place to start those resolutions. I invite you to spend a day at the facility; swim and splash in the pool, warm up<br />
from the winter’s chill in the sauna, steam room, or hot tub, and take a fitness class too. Take advantage of our “Fit in 5” promotion and purchase a 5-month membership<br />
from January 1-7, and get fit by summer!<br />
The Sullivan Community Center’s landscape is under construction! The Hawthorn District 73 Kindergarten Center is being built between the Aspen Drive Library and the Sullivan<br />
Community Center, with a tunneled access directly to the Sullivan Center. The Kindergarten Center will open to new students in fall <strong>2020</strong>. For more information, visit the District 73<br />
website at www.hawthorn73.org.<br />
Don’t let the winter weather keep your family indoors! The Century Park ice rinks and sled hill will be lit daily until 9 pm for evening fun, weather permitting! An afternoon of sledding,<br />
skating, or using the miles of pathways through our parks for hiking, cross country skiing, or just a leisurely walk is the perfect activity for a winter day, so come out and enjoy!<br />
The Park District has many special events planned this winter beginning with Water Wonderland, a pool party for all ages on December 20 followed by our New Year’s Eve Family Party<br />
on December 31. The fun continues for families at <strong>Winter</strong> Fest on January 11. Just the Two of Us, a special evening of dancing for dads and daughters is February 8, and an adventure<br />
awaits moms and sons on March 20 at You’re My Superhero! Just for adults, our Annual Craft Beer Tasting event is on February 29. Listen to live music while Chicago area breweries<br />
pour samples of their ales, lagers, and stouts.<br />
On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, I wish you a happy holiday season and an enjoyable winter in the parks.<br />

Center.<br />
*Rollerblades, ice skates, and winter boots cannot be<br />

<strong>Winter</strong> Season Toys for Tots<br />
Help millions of less fortunate children share in the<br />
magic of the holidays. Local Toys for Tots Campaigns are<br />
the heart and soul of the Marine Toys for Tots Program<br />
managed by dedicated United States Marines and local<br />
volunteers. Collection boxes are located at the Sullivan<br />
Community Center and Lakeview Fitness during the<br />
holiday season. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped<br />

Lions Recycle For Sight Program<br />
Help the Lions Club reduce global blindness. Refractive<br />

glasses in their communities. The collection box is<br />
located in the Family Aquatic Center circle drive. It<br />
resembles a mailbox.<br />

clothing and textiles. All fabrics will be accepted. Almost<br />
95% of the materials collected will be repurposed or<br />
recycled! The collection box is located near the skate<br />
park at the Sullivan Community Center.<br />
Sports Shed<br />
The Sports Shed makes it possible for kids to have<br />
positive alternatives to gangs, violence, and drugs<br />
through organized sports. Donate new or used gear<br />
including equipment, apparel/uniforms, or athletic<br />
footwear. The collection box is located in the Sullivan<br />
Community Center.<br />

The goal of the Park District’s swim program is to create a life-long interest in aquatics<br />
activities, promote a healthy lifestyle, and improve a child’s safety in the water.<br />
Lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim guidelines. Taught by instructors<br />
who are certified lifeguards, our lessons feature progressive swimming instruction and<br />
practice of water safety skills. Upon successful completion of each level, swimmers will<br />
receive an American Red Cross certificate.<br />
Select the Right Class<br />
Before Class<br />
Review the skill lists on vhparkdistrict.org. Choose the first class that lists a skill<br />
that your child has not yet mastered.<br />
First Day of Class<br />
Your child's skills will be assessed on the first day of class to ensure that they<br />
are placed in the proper level. Adjustments will be made if necessary. Swimming<br />
requires motor coordination and practice to become proficient.<br />
Keep in Mind<br />
It is not uncommon to spend more than one session in a particular level. This<br />
is especially true with levels 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, do not expect your child to<br />
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 />

activities including music, cooking, outdoor play, and<br />
more! Children must bring their own lunch each day.<br />

Young girls get up on their feet for dance, aerobics and<br />
games! Girls enjoy lunch together while listening to<br />
music and visiting with friends. During the last part of<br />
the class, we get the glitter and other craft supplies out<br />

Little Doctors | Grades K-5<br />
Opposites attract... especially in science! In each session, we will use magnets to<br />
discover the forces of attraction and repulsion on different objects. Then create either<br />
a maglev train or engineless propeller! The concept of polarity will then be carried into<br />
experimentation with everyone's favorite polar molecule... WATER! We'll also see how<br />
cells of living organisms (like ours and our microorganism frenemies) use polar forces<br />
to build protection. This will be visualized through the making of slime! So, come join<br />
us for some hands-on science...the only requirements are your thinking caps and fun<br />

Team Formation<br />
All teams are formed by a coach’s draft. Players<br />
are measured for height and evaluated at the<br />
Skill Evaluation Day. This information is provided<br />
to coaches to select teams. Because of the draft<br />
process, no coach or teammate requests will be<br />
considered. The only way to guarantee that two kids<br />
are placed on the same team is if their parents sign<br />
up to coach together. Players are required to attend<br />
skill day. Those that do not attend skill day will not be<br />
eligible for the coaches draft. They will be randomly<br />
assigned to a team.<br />
Practice<br />
Teams practice 1-2 hours per week at various schools.<br />
Practice times can be as early as 6:00 pm and go<br />
as late as 9:00 pm (8:30 pm for 3rd & 4th grade<br />
teams). Practice schedules are dictated by coaches;<br />
therefore, specific practice schedule requests cannot<br />
be honored. (If there is ONE specific day of the week<br />
that your child will not be available to practice, please<br />
note on registration).<br />
All players will receive a team jersey and<br />
participation medal.<br />

feeder team, and decide not to play both feeder and Park District, as long as a refund is<br />
requested prior to our team selection, you will receive a refund of the full league fee. Do<br />
not wait until after the feeder team has been selected or you will be subject to the late<br />

Fencing | 9-15 Years<br />
The LifeSport Fencing Academy is a fencing club serving Youth Fencers. We offer<br />
fencing programs for beginners to advance. Fencing is one of the best youth sports<br />
because it challenges competitor's brains as strenuously as it does their bodies. While<br />
fencers benefit from strength and speed, they also need strategy, quick-thinking and<br />
determination. Fencing also provides a unique mix of camaraderie and self-reliance.<br />
*Advanced fencers will be encouraged to provide their own equipment. Advanced<br />
Fencing programs include an open fencing practice session every Wednesday 7-9 pm,<br />
supervised by the LifeSport Fencing Academy instructors.<br />

Refunds<br />
• A refund, minus a $5 service charge, is granted if the request is received at<br />

charge, you may apply the refund toward another Park District program or<br />
accept a credit for future use.<br />
• Refund requests received less than 10 days before the start of a program<br />
or after a program has begun will be granted and pro-rated upon<br />
administrative approval. The $5 service charge will apply.<br />
• No refunds are issued once 50% of the program has been completed.<br />
• Season passes are not refundable.<br />
• If refunds are not applied to an account credit, they will be issued back to<br />
the original form of payment. If payment was cash or check, a refund check<br />
will be mailed in approximately 2-3 weeks, after administrative approval.<br />
Refund Request forms are available at the Sullivan Community Center or at<br />
Lakeview Fitness and on our website.<br />

in order to operate efficiently, programs must have a minimum number of<br />

program and a full refund is issued.<br />

Americans With Disabilities<br />

which prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services, or activities to<br />
individuals with disabilities. We invite any participant with a special need to contact<br />
our staff or our SRA staff, upon registration, so that a smooth inclusion can occur. If you<br />

unfairly discriminated against in the provision of programs, services, or activities of the<br />
Vernon Hills Park District, please contact the District ADA Compliance Officer, Tom Ritter<br />

Food Allergy Policy<br />
The Park District will attempt to accommodate each program participant who has a<br />
food allergy in order to provide the safest learning environment possible. A Food Allergy<br />
Action Plan will be created by the District staff and parents and will identify operational<br />
practices for parents, teachers, and children to follow. For a copy of the Food Allergy<br />
Policy, contact Tom Ritter, Superintendent of Recreation, at (847) 996-6802.<br />
No Smoking Policy<br />

Only the program supervisor is authorized to make exceptions to these age ranges.<br />
Consideration will only be given once all age-appropriate participants have had an<br />
opportunity to register.<br />
Payment Policy<br />
Households with an unpaid balance will not be allowed to register for any Vernon Hills<br />
Park District programs, activities, memberships, or rentals until the balance is paid in<br />
full. For assistance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Operations Manager at<br />
(847) 996-6803.<br />
Resident/Non-Resident (NR) Fees<br />
Vernon Hills residents significantly contribute to the operating budget of the Park<br />
District by paying property taxes. Everyone who resides within the boundaries of the<br />
Park District are eligible to receive resident discounted rates. Once per year, each<br />
Vernon Hills household is required to show proof of residency in order to qualify for<br />
resident rates. Families living within Hawthorn School District #73 are also eligible<br />
to receive resident discounted rates for programs, Lakeview Fitness memberships,<br />
and Lakeview Fitness daily passes. The only exceptions are facility rentals and daily<br />
admission to the Family Aquatic Center. In addition, District 73 residents must wait until<br />
the non-resident registration dates to register for programs. Non-resident fees are the<br />
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<br />
financing of 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<br />
Center for residents aged 62 & older. For all other programs and the Family Aquatic<br />
Center, a 20% discount will be applied.<br />
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Policy<br />
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned due to non-sufficient<br />
funds.<br />
Photo & Video Policy<br />
The District occasionally takes photographs or video of participants for promoting/<br />
advertising our programs, services, events, activities, and facilities in our brochures,<br />
website or agency social media, and other promotional avenues. By registering<br />
for, participating in or attending District programs, events, or other activities, the<br />
participant (or parent/guardian of a minor participant) irrevocably agrees to the use<br />
and distribution by the Park District of his or her image (or of his minor child/ward)<br />
in photographs, video recordings, and any other electronic reproductions of such<br />
programs, events and activities for any purpose without inspection or approval and<br />
without compensation, rights to royalties or any other consideration now and in the<br />
future.<br />
Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its<br />
informational materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing<br />
Specialist, at cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org.<br />
Vandalism<br />
Each year, vandalism costs the Park District thousands of dollars. Higher costs of<br />
maintenance, repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help.<br />
Should you see vandalism occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-<br />
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 District Behavior Management Policy (2.39) will be<br />
used as a guideline. The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose<br />
actions endanger the safety of himself or others.<br />
