Congratulations, Pete!
NISRA congratulates Pete Merkel who recently announced
his retirement after 34 years of serving as the only
Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of McHenry.
In 1993, Pete was instrumental in the City’s decision to
serve residents with disabilities through NISRA membership.
Pete’s 20 years of leadership and support as a member
of the NISRA Board of Directors is greatly appreciated by
the staff and the hundreds of McHenry families benefitting
from NISRA programs.
Best wishes, Pete!

NISRA will comply with the ADA, which prohibits discrimination
in the provision of services, programs or facilities to individuals
with disabilities. NISRA works closely with its member park
districts and recreation departments to provide information
on program inclusion, facility accessibility and communication
devices. NISRA will make reasonable accommodations in
recreation programs to enable participation by an individual
with a disability who meets essential eligibility requirements for
that recreation program.
If you have questions about NISRA and the ADA, or believe
that you have been unfairly discriminated against by NISRA,
please call Brian Shahinian at (815) 459-0737. If you would
like information about NISRA’s inclusion support, please call
Courtney Fejedelem at (815) 459-0737.

NISRA’s summer day camps are a great place to
experience games, storytelling, sports, arts & crafts,
singing, skits, and swimming this summer. Our camps
have helped children grow in self-esteem, make friends,
experience new places, learn games & songs, and
develop physical skills. NISRA camps are not an extension
of the special education curriculum, however, many
children retain concepts from the school year when they
attend our camps in the summer months.
Camp also includes special days including Fun Fair, with
carnival games & other entertainment.
The two weeks after camps end have additional camp
options to provide structure & fun before the school year
begins... Join in on the fun!

Inclusion Services...
Boardmaker Communication
How about a general recreation program?
Have you heard about Boardmaker? This computer
software program allows you to print out communication
tables displaying symbols & simple words for people who
have difficulty speaking or who are non-verbal. NISRA
is using it in our programs. If your child is registered in a
NISRA program and needs assistance with communication,
call us and we’ll create a customized communication tool
for him or her.
We understand that not every person with a disability needs a
NISRA program. NISRA provides assistance to our member park
districts and recreation departments to include residents with
disabilities in their programs. Types of support may include staff
training, adapted equipment, sign language assistance or a program aide. Register for your home district program and for more
information, call Courtney at the NISRA office.

Special Olympics
Special Olympics programs welcome participants with a developmental delay, ages 8 and older.
All Special Olympics athletes must have a valid Application for Participation (APP) on file in order
to compete.
Call Dave with questions about Special Olympics
eligibility, training programs, competition or
sponsorship opportunities.
Special Olympics Competition
Special Olympics was developed as a competitive (vs.
recreational) program to encourage developmentally
disabled individuals to challenge themselves to achieve
their highest ability level. Many Special Olympic athletes
display the competitive spirit associated with sports, and
agree to the training necessary for competition.
Just like people without disabilities, some children and
adults with disabilities enjoy sports and exercise in a
non-competitive environment. They may not understand
competition or may struggle with the regulations of
competition. For those, Special Olympics may not be
appropriate, and there are other programs that may
be more suitable and enjoyable.
NISRA staff can assist with assessing which type of program
would be the best match for the participant’s interests,
abilities, time and convenience. NISRA also has a Special
Olympic Sports Training & Competition Policies & Procedures Manual with further information & guidelines that is
available to you. Please call the NISRA office for a copy or
to speak with Dave about Special Olympics programs.
Bump, set & spike...athletes you can practice the fundamentals of
volleyball and compete against other SRAs. You’ll need a valid
APP (Application for Participation) in order to be eligible to
participate in Special Olympics competition.
Area Competition: September 22; ITRS Tournament: Oct 6
Staff Contact: Dave
NOTE: For any athletes who play softball and volleyball,
there will be some overlap if both teams qualify for the state
tournament. In the event that both teams qualify, details will be
worked out at that time and a flyer with information and the fee
for State competition.
Let me win, but if I cannot win,
Let me be brave in the attempt.
Please register for the team you played on last year; call the
NISRA Office if you need information or assistance.

A Registration Note...
Group Home Resident Fee Policy
Although some NISRA programs are offered according to disability classifications, these classifications should only be considered
as recommendations. For example, if a particular program is
offered for children with learning disabilities (LD) and your child
does not have that classification, but meets other social, physical and behavioral requirements to participate in the program,
please feel free to register for it.
In-district status will be granted for participants residing
in out-of-district group/sheltered homes or facilities that are
within 5 miles of NISRA’s member districts, if the
administrative headquarters of such group/sheltered homes or
facilities is located within NISRA’s member districts.
Annual Registration Update
Once each year, all registrants must complete an Annual Update
form (included in the summer & fall brochures) in order for NISRA
to update its records. This process helps the staff provide the
safest & best care possible.
Registration Information
1. Registration is conducted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Residents of NISRA’s member districts who register by the
Resident Priority Registration date have priority over out-ofdistrict “Non-Resident” participants.
2. If a program reaches maximum registration, a waiting list
will be started. Those on the list will be notified.
3. A program may be cancelled if enrollment is less than the
determined minimum. Your account will be credited unless a
refund is preferred or the participant joins another program.
4. Registration is considered complete and will be processed
only when payment is received, unless other arrangements have
been made. NOTE: Registration will not be processed if there is a
balance due from past seasons.
5. Out-of-district “Non-resident” participants are welcome to
register for all programs. However, a non-resident fee is charged
(see program description) and registration is processed after the
Resident Priority Registration date.
6. Instructors may not accept payment or register participants
at programs. Registration and payment must be made through
the NISRA office.
7. The Registration Form is designed to provide all medical and
personal information necessary for the instructor to provide a
safe experience. Please complete the form thoroughly.
Credits and Refunds
Credits and refunds must be requested three business days
prior to the start of the program. The cost of the program minus
a $5.00 processing fee will be refunded (unless tickets have
been purchased or supplies bought and there is no one on the
waiting list to take the spot). Credits and refunds will not be
issued after the second week of the program, except for medical
or unavoidable circumstances only (ex., job transfer, moving,
etc.). Proof of the reason may be required. A prorated credit or
refund, minus the processing fee, will be issued.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available for weekly programs for those who
qualify due to financial hardship situations. Please call Kerri Ruddy
at the NISRA office for assistance.

Township Information
We ask for your township on the Registration Form because area
townships annually give grants to NISRA. Listing your township allows NISRA to provide the townships with participation statistics to
support their giving. If you are unsure of your township:
•check your voter registration card
•check your property tax bill
•call the county office or township office closest to your home
Procedure for Seizure Information
If your Registration Form indicates that the participant
experiences seizures, a completed Seizure Questionnaire
(included in this brochure), or equivalent seizure plan is required
for participation in NISRA programs. This document is kept on
file and distributed to the leaders of the programs for which
the registrant in enrolled. This will enable staff to provide the
desired level of care in the event of a seizure during a NISRA
program. Once each year you will be asked to review & update
your plan if necessary. If you have any questions about this
procedure, please contact the NISRA office.
Fitness Waiver for Fitness Programs
Due to the physical nature of NISRA’s fitness programs, the
circumstances at some facilities, and the exertion that participants
may undertake, NISRA requires a fitness waiver prior to
participation. The form is included in this brochure. The clearance to
participate will be valid for one year from the date on which it was
signed by the participant’s medical practitioner.
See pages 41 & 49 for more information about
NISRA program policies, and page 50 for more
information about transportation.
Registration Deadlines
•Final registration deadline is Friday, May 24th
•Late registrations are subject to pre-approval by staff
If your registration is late, you may:
•Be placed on a waiting list due to maximum enrollment
•Miss at least 1 class

program & registration information
Programs by Age & Ability Level
Program Policies
Most programs listed in this brochure are offered according to age
groups and a suggested ability level or disability classification. This
information is given to assist with choosing the most satisfying and
appropriate program for the particpant. In many cases, programs
are geared toward “all abilities” and the staff will divide the
participants into appropriate subgroups within the activities.
1. Participants must be picked up at the designated end of
the program. Late pick-up creates additional costs and potential
delays getting to another program. NISRA staff will notify the
office of continual late pick-ups and a fine will be assessed.
2. Programs may be cancelled due to inclement weather. When
a program is cancelled, a make-up date will be arranged if
possible, or a credit or refund issued.
3. When participants of varying ages and ability levels are in
the same program, NISRA will group them appropriately.
4. NISRA provides an approximate 1:4 staff-to-participant
ratio. If you are requesting a different ratio, please indicate the
reason on your Registration Form.
5. If a participant will be absent, please notify the NISRA
office.
6. If the participant is able to walk or ride a bike home, the
parent/guardian must submit notice granting permission, in
writing, to the NISRA office prior to the start of the program.
7. If someone other than the participant’s parent/guardian will
be picking him/her up after a program, a note must be sent for
the staff. Staff will not allow a participant to leave with another
person without written notice.
8. When arriving to, or departing from a program, please
check-in with the staff before you leave or take the participant.
9. If staff observe that it appears unsafe to release a
participant to the person picking him/her up after a program, the
staff will call a supervisor to determine what other transportation
alternatives may be possible.
10. Although NISRA realizes that inappropriate behavior
may occur in programs, the NISRA Director holds the right to
suspend participation if hazardous, disruptive or destructive
behavior persists. Participants may be held liable for deliberate
destruction of equipment or facilities.
11. While NISRA staff will assist participants with their belongings
at programs, NISRA cannot be responsible for lost or stolen
property. Participants should not bring valuables to programs.
12. Consumption of alcohol is not permitted at any NISRA
program (this includes adults, ages 21 & older).

NISRA’s Values
NISRA’s staff dedicate themselves to providing fun, skill-building,
life-enriching programs that fulfill our mission. We strongly
believe that 5 core values define who we are & what you can
expect from us: Fun, Professional, Compassionate, Trustworthy,
and Innovative. If at any time you feel that NISRA or its staff
have not lived up to these values, please contact Brian Shahinian,
Executive Director, at 815-459-0737.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
One of our goals is to provide you with the highest quality
recreation programs and services possible, therefore we
guarantee your complete satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with
a program, we invite you to try the class again at no charge, or
we’ll grant credit toward another program or issue a full refund.
Please contact the NISRA office by the mid-point of the session so
that we have an opportunity to address your concerns.
Recorded Message for Program Changes
We record a message on our phone system on days when the
weather or other factors force a change in the program schedule.
Call the NISRA office and dial * 300.
Inclusion Services...
How about a general recreation program?
We understand that not every person with a disability needs
a NISRA program. NISRA provides assistance to our member
park districts and recreation departments to include residents
with disabilities in their programs. Types of support may include
staff training, adapted equipment, sign language assistance or
a program aide. Register for your home district program and for
more information, call Courtney at the NISRA office.

NISRA Transportation
Can’t make it, or running late to your
pick-up location?
If you have registered for transportation with a NISRA program and are unable to attend or are running late, we have a
procedure for communicating with you. The staff/driver will wait
for 5 minutes & then call your home & cell phones to try to get
in touch with you. We can wait a maximum of 10 minutes before
we must leave for the other pick-up points and/or the program.
Booster Seats
In January 2004 the changes to the Illinois Vehicle Code Child Protection Act went into effect. Children under the age of 8 must be
secured in an appropriate child restraint system (child safety seat).
Booster seats may be needed in a few NISRA vehicles based upon
the child’s age, weight and height. NISRA does its best to avoid
scheduling these vehicles for programs with young children registered. Please indicate on the registration form if a booster seat
will be used.
50
For programs with transportation, the pick-up and drop-off
locations are listed in each program’s description. Please
choose your preferred location and indicate it on your

programs using the same transportation location!
