Capital Projects for 2012
In December the Board approved the 2012 Budget with a
balanced operating budget and funds dedicated for a few
capital projects to improve and upgrade our parks. Repairing
the roof at the Ackerman Sports and Fitness Complex is a top
priority and we are planning to have that work completed by
the end of the summer.
Look for these other park improvements in 2012:
•
Upgrades to the bath house at Sunset Pool
•
A new playground for Glen Ellyn Manor Park
•
Athletic field improvements Ackerman, Village
Green and Newton parks
•
Converting the baseball fields at Newton park to
all-purpose playing fields
•
Maryknoll pond and oak savannah restorations
•
Dog park fence and card swipe system at Spring
Avenue Park
•
Boardwalk at Churchill Park
•
Ackerman Woods cleanup and path
The park district will conduct a community-wide interest
and attitude survey this summer to learn more about the
recreation needs of our residents. We will also begin a master
plan for Lake Ellyn Park. Watch for more information about
community meetings and public input on this plan later this
spring!
Board Meetings
Broadcast Live
on Website
The Board took
an important step
towards increasing
transparency by
starting video
broadcasting for all
Board meetings. Live
video of the meetings
is available on the park
district website at www.gepark.org. The Board usually meets
on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m.
In addition to being shown live, the meetings will be archived
and posted on the park district Website for on-demand
viewing later. The archived meeting videos have bookmarks
for each agenda items so users can view just the parts of the
meeting they have an interest in.
In addition to broadcasting our meeting, the Board has all
meeting information and agendas online prior to the meeting
and highlights of the meeting are available soon after. All of
this information is available in one place at the new board
blog at geparkboard.blogspot.com. With all of our meeting
documents and video archived online we hope that it will
be easy for people to know what is going on with the park
district board.

Swimming Lessons
Learn to Swim Program
Journey I: Beginner • Age: 5 & Up
Journey II • Age: 6 & Up
The Glen Ellyn Park District’s Learn
to Swim program provides a positive,
fun-filled opportunity for children
and adults to learn skills that will help
reduce the number of water accidents
and provide lifelong aquatic enjoyment.
All instructors will be trained and
certified by Jeff Ellis and Associates,
International Aquatics Corporation.
This program is objective driven, rather
than progressive. Each day there is an
objective to meet, using the strengths
of the child to do so. Register for as
many classes or sessions as you wish.
Please see registration instructions in
the back of the brochure. Swimming
lessons are not made up, nor are
refunds provided due to missed
student lessons for inclement weather
or absence. There are no class
cancellations.
There are three levels in Journey I
Beginner. All children will be tested and
grouped with others of comparable
skills. This class is equivalent to Red
Cross Levels I and II.
Children must have completed Journey
I or its equivalent. There are several
adventures in this Journey designed
to teach swimmers the front crawl
and backstroke. Swimmers will also be
introduced to the breast stroke. Proper
breathing will be emphasized. Students
will progress at their own speed in this
Journey. Successful completion will
allow for advancement to Journey III.
Journey I: Pre-Beginner • Age: 3-5
This will be your child’s first swim
lesson experience. Emphasis will be on
group games to acclimate preschoolers
to water thus reducing their fears.
Children are grouped by ability and
work on a variety of skills. This class
follows the same lesson plans as
the Beginner class, but for younger
children.
In Level A of this Journey, children learn
to hold their breath, open their eyes
underwater, breathe out of their mouth
and nose, and learn water safety. It is
not uncommon for a child to spend
more than one term in this level.
In Level B of this Journey, children
will be introduced to the jelly float,
stomach float, back float and back
glide.
In Level C of this Journey, children
will learn to combine movement with
the glide strokes as well as changing
direction. Many children will need to
repeat this Journey to get through all
the skill levels. This should be expected,
and needs to be considered by those
registering for multiple sessions.
Journey III • Age: 6 & Up
Children must have completed
Journey II or its equivalent. Journey
III will utilize adventures designed to
introduce swimmers to the elementary
backstroke, butterfly and sidestroke.
Emphasis will be on the coordination
of kicking and pulling movements
associated with each stroke.
Private Swim Lessons
Enjoy individualized swim lessons
designed to develop confidence,
improve stroke mechanics and safety.
Half-hour lessons are available during
open swim. If you are not a pass
holder, you must pay the daily fee
upon entering the pool for lessons. The
instructor will be chosen depending on
needs. To set up your private lesson,
you must talk to the pool manager.

The Glen Ellyn Park District Gators Swim Team is made up of boys and girls from 7-18 years who compete in the West Suburban
Swim Conference throughout the summer. This program is lotteried due to its popularity and limited space capacity. Returning
Gators will have first priority in the lottery, however no spots are guaranteed. The Gators compete at both “A” (more
competitive) and “B” (less experienced) meets. Some swimmers may not be able to compete at every meet due to very large
numbers in some age groups and levels. Meets are held both at home and away on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and two or
three Saturday mornings. Swim Team is not a lesson program. Participants learn the techniques and discipline of competitive
swimming while learning the value of sportsmanship and team spirit. Participants 7 and 8 years old must be able to comfortably
swim one pool length of freestyle and one pool length of backstroke. Participants over 9 years old must be able to swim two
lengths of the pool freestyle and backstroke. Swimmers are expected to attend practices on a daily basis. A Swim Team Parent
Manual, which further details the program, is available at the Main Street Recreation Center and Spring Avenue Recreation
Center offices after May 1st. The swim team fee includes paid coaches, team apparel and league fees. A team suit will need to
be purchased through our local supplier. Every swim meet requires a great number of volunteers. Parents are required to work
a minimum of two home and away meets. Scheduling will be arranged during the first two weeks of the program. According to
Conference rules, a swimmer’s age shall be determined by his/her age as of June 1 of the current year. [KE]

Saturday, June 30
The sky’s the limit - and sometimes,
the bottom of the sea, when it’s the
Glen Ellyn Cardboard Regatta!
Join your fellow landlubbers onshore to
witness the creativity, bravery and sheer
tomfoolery of crews of ordinary souls
who dare to launch vessels crafted of
corrugated cardboard.
The regatta is a unique display of
ingenuity, an ode to engineering and
imagination. Join the thousands who
gather to witness this summertime
spectacle, as hundreds set sail in full
regalia, commanding vessels that rival
the wonders of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate
Factory.
Back by popular demand is Master of
Ceremonies and Captain of the Races:
Wheaton North High School’s own state
and national speech coach champ, Ed
Klemm, who has taken this event to an
exciting new level!
It’s an afternoon of hilarious fun,
whether you’re onboard or onshore.
Will the boats float? There’s only one
way to find out! The Glen Ellyn Fourth
of July committee will sell concessions,
including burgers, hot dogs and sweet
corn, cooked by the Glen Ellyn Fire
Department. [MD]

Age: 12-14
Get ready for the best on-the-road
bike camp! In the morning, we’ll bike
to a local destination. In the afternoon,
we bike to Sunset Pool to eat our sack
lunch and spend time at the pool. The
day ends at Sunset Park at 3 pm where
participants are released. All campers
are required to have bikes, bike locks,
helmets, water bottles and backpacks.
Participants will not be allowed to bike
without a helmet. Participants need to
bring sack lunches and snacks every day
or money to purchase items, if desired.
This program requires biking in adverse
weather, including rain, heat or cold.
For campers just starting on their biking
experience, we offer an opportunity
to explore local parks and outside
activities, while learning about bike
safety. Enjoy the freedom of jumping
on your bike with your friends (and
counselors) and heading out to go
bowling, hitting the links (mini-golf, of
course), or going to the movies. You
will receive a list of activities for the
summer prior to the week of camp in
which you are registered. [BM]
Get out and go! Turf & Surf II
is designed for the older, more
experienced rider. Destinations will
include anywhere from local parks to
neighboring community water parks.
We’ll still go bowling, golfing and hit
the movies, but we’ll move at a faster
pace and have an alternate schedule
to Turf & Surf I. Grab your bike, helmet,
lunch and backpack as we head out for
another summer adventure! [BM]
Please Note: If there are not enough
participants registered in each age
divided camp, we may combine the two
camps and activities. [BM]

Outdoor exploration and animal
awareness are the focus of this week.
We will explore the woods, prairie and
wet areas in search of any animal we
can find. Campers will roll logs looking
for slugs and centipedes, wade in the
water to net tadpoles and frogs, and
crawl through the tall grasses searching
for camouflaged insects. Your child
may return home a bit wet and muddy,
but with a smile on their face! [JR]
Hands-on problem solving and
fascinating discoveries await your child.
We’ll assume the role of researchers
and dive into big environmental topics
like wetland protection, invasive species
and habitat loss. We also will look
closely at unique plants and animals in
our area. Each child will choose a topic
to research, with one morning spent
at the library finding information and
strategizing solutions. The goal this
week is to spark an interest in natural
science through outdoor explorations
and research, and to identify ways
that nine and ten year olds can make
positive impacts in their community.

All ages and ability levels are welcome. The tennis staff will ensure that your child is placed in the appropriate group based on
their skill level. Lessons will focus on technical dynamics, physical fitness, strategy and match play. We ask that your child bring
a water bottle to each lesson. Most of all, we want the juniors to have fun and learn the best sport of a lifetime. The minimum
for each class to run is five. All participants are taught by HealthTrack tennis staff Monday through Thursday with Friday as a rain
make-up day. In the event of rain, please call the hotline 630-858-2462 x170. Our primary site for tennis classes is Memorial

Futures A&B
Age: 4-6
Age: 6-8
Age: 9-13
This is a specialized class developed by
the USTA that emulates some highly
successful foreign junior development
training procedures. Juniors start out
on a modified tennis court with a four
tiered tennis ball arrangement. Early
success at being able to rally a tennis
ball is the key to this class. [BB]
The love of the game is taken to the
next step. Fun and games further
develop the ground strokes, and handeye coordination. The serve and volleys
are introduced and footwork becomes
an emphasis. [BB]
This class operates with two levels of
play in mind. First (A) are beginners and
advanced beginners who will be placed
together for fast-tracked instructional
work. Second (B) are the intermediate
students who have developed into
players that are able to rally a tennis ball
on a regular basis. This player can now
get a high percentage of their shots in
the court, as well as get most serves
in. Desire to compete against others
should be taking hold. [BB]
R/NR Fee: $68/$98 or $88/$127 (cost if
participant wants racquet included)

Teams in grades K-2 are organized as
much as possible by general geographic
areas. The assignments are determined
by the number of available coaches
from each area. We cannot guarantee
that each child will be placed on a
neighborhood team. In Grades 3-10, the
primary focus in organizing teams will
be on skill level, with the goal being the
creation of leagues containing evenly
balanced teams. Parents will be notified
of their child’s team approximately one
week before the first game.
GEYSO Meetings
The Glen Ellyn Youth Soccer
Organization (GEYSO) meets the first

Tryouts
Youth Travel Soccer is a Glen Ellyn Park District program run
with the assistance of Glen Ellyn Lakers Futbol Club. Teams
are organized through the NISL and IWSL and range from U8U18. New volunteers are always welcome. Lakers meetings
are held on the second Monday of each month at Spring
Avenue Recreation Center at 7pm.
Anyone wishing to play on a Lakers Travel team must try out.
This includes any player currently on an existing Travel team.
Tryouts enable players to be organized into teams by age
and similar skill level. This allows training and competition to
occur on an equal basis which creates an environment where
players can be challenged and learn more effectively.
Who should play travel team soccer?
Travel team soccer is for players who enjoy playing soccer
and have the desire and dedication to play at a more
competitive level. Players receive extensive training twice a
week in the evening with professional trainers and coaches
certified by the Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) who
are committed to developing skilled players.
Time Commitments and Expectations
Travel soccer demands a fairly large time commitment since
our soccer year extends from August to June. The year
program begins in August with a one-week training camp for
all teams. Then each week during the fall and spring league
season, the teams train twice a week for 90 minutes each
time.
During the winter season, the teams have training sessions
once a week for a ten-week period and may also participate
in indoor soccer leagues in preparation for the spring season.
Fall and spring games are usually scheduled on Sundays.
Teams play a ten-game schedule each fall and 8 games each
spring with half on the home fields and the remainder away.
We expect players to have fun. We expect players to be at
all training sessions and games. We expect them to respect
coaches, trainers, fellow team players, parents, equipment,
facilities, game officials, and game opponents at all times. We
expect the players to come to all events with the necessary
equipment, their team commitment, and ready to play.
For more information about the club, visit www.gelakers.com
or call Brenden Berry at 630-858-2462 x148.
Soccer
Travel Soccer
Tryouts are a two-day process. All players must attend both
days of tryouts to be eligible to make a team. All tryouts will
be held at Ackerman Park and conducted by Future Pros
trainers. All players must register for tryouts on the Lakers
Website (www.gelakers.com). Please click on the “Tryouts” tab
for more information. Please contact a member of the Lakers
committee if there is a conflict.
Tryout Dates
U8-U14 Co-Rec: May 14, 17, 18 and 19
U8-U14 Girls: May 30 and 31; June 1 and 2
Glen Ellyn Lakers Academy
Created for boys and girls who love soccer but are
not sure about the commitment of travel soccer,
players are coached by the same professionals who
coach Lakers travel players, and train in the same
manner as Lakers players. Instead of playing games in
a travel league however, children play internal games
and scrimmages in a “micro-league” format. This is a
great way to get a taste for travel soccer without the
year-long commitment.
Concurrent participation in both the Glen Ellyn
House League and Lakers Academy is encouraged.

Advertisers / Sponsors
Non-Resident Policy & Membership
The Glen Ellyn Park District allows the placement of
advertising signs, placards and banners in certain district
facilities. Your advertisement can be seen by thousands of
participants and spectators at tournaments and athletic events
at Ackerman Park and other facilities. Advertisements are
sold on a per-season or per-event basis. Please call Kathleen
Esposito at 630-942-7261, for more information on rates,
season dates and location of your ad.
Glen Ellyn Park District residents, through property taxes,
make a financial contribution to the Park District operations.
Nonresidents are charged higher fees for programs than
residents to compensate for property tax disparity.
Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits
discrimination on the basis of a disability. The Glen Ellyn Park
District will make reasonable accommodations in recreation
programs to enable participation by an individual with a
disability that meets essential eligibility requirements for that
leisure program and facility. If you have questions or believe
you have been unfairly discriminated against by the park
district, please contact Nick Cinquegrani, Superintendent of
Finance and Personnel at 630-942-7257. Those who use the
Telecommunications Device for the Deaf may reach the park
district by calling the Illinois Relay Line at 800-526-0844.
Behavior Policy
Participants 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.
Participants shall:
1.
Show respect to all participants and staff, take direction
from staff.
2.
Refrain from using abusive or foul language.
3.
Refrain from causing bodily harm to self, other
participants or staff.
4.
Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities.
A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. Staff will
periodically review rules with participants during the program
session. If inappropriate behavior occurs, prompt resolution
will be sought specific to each individual situation. The park
district reserves the right to dismiss a participant whose
behavior endangers the safety of himself /herself or others.
Insurance
The Glen Ellyn Park District does not provide medical
insurance coverage for individuals who participate in our
programs or use our facilities. To do so would make programs
and user fees cost-prohibitive.
| 84 |
Residents of Glen Ellyn who are not residents of the Glen
Ellyn Park District or any other park district may receive all
the privileges of belonging to the Glen Ellyn Park District by
paying the equivalent of Park District taxes annually. This
membership allows for priority registration, pool passes, and
any other services provided to our residents at the resident
rate. For further information, please contact Katherine

assistance fund to assist families in the community. Financial
assistance applications are available at the Main Street
Recreation Center and the Spring Avenue Recreation
Center. For further information, contact Kathleen Esposito,
Superintendent of Recreation at 630-942-7261. All requests
