Registration Begins August 17 Registration Information 3 Registration Information Confirmation of Registration Written confirmation for classes will be sent for all registrations received. If you have not received a confirmation, please call (630) 968-6400 to check the status of your registration. Random Draw confirmation is mailed or e-mailed within 10 days of processing registration. The Darien Park District is not responsible for undelivered confirmations. Discrimination The Darien Park District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion or disability in employment, treatment of visitors and users, use of parks and facilities, or admission to and participation in programs and activities of the District in compliance with the Illinois Human Rights Act, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, the Americans With Disabilities Act and the State of Illinois and U.S. Constitution. We invite any resident with a special need to contact our staff upon registration so that a smooth inclusion may occur. Min/Max - What is it? For each program at the Darien Park District, there is a minimum number of registrations needed before a class can be offered and also a maximum number of registrations that can be accepted. Meeting the minimum and not exceeding the maximum helps to ensure that you and your family will enjoy a cost-effective, positive recreation opportunity that includes an appropriate instructor/student ratio. Registration Deadlines There is a point when the decision must be made to stop taking registration for a class because it is filled, or to cancel a class due to low enrollment. We reserve the right to change program content and/or schedules as needed. Please don’t wait until the day a class begins to register. Unless otherwise noted, the registration deadline for all programs is one week prior to the start of the first class session. Registrations are still accepted after this deadline, however, the class may be cancelled due to low enrollment. Please register early to avoid being disappointed. Program Changes Due to the large amount of information available in the Darien Park District brochure, errors before or after publication may occur. Errors in code numbers, days, times or fees may occur. We apologize for any errors in this brochure, and we will advise you of any changes as quickly as possible. We thank you for your understanding when these types of situations arise. Residents/Non-Residents Even though you are a resident of the City of Darien, you may not be considered a resident when registering for Darien Park District programs. Why? It is because the Darien Park District is a separate, tax supported agency apart from the City of Darien. This means that even though you may have a Darien address, you do not pay taxes to the Darien Park District. The Park District tries to maintain the same boundaries as the City, however it is not always possible. The quickest way to determine your Park District resident status is to check your tax bill. The park district you pay taxes to will be listed. Returned Checks Any check returned by the bank to the Darien Park District for any reason will incur a $25 fee. Additional program registration will not be accepted until all outstanding balances have been cleared. Refunds If insufficient enrollment causes an activity to be cancelled, participants will receive a full refund in the mail. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the processing of the refund. Refunds will not be issued after the first class meeting unless the participant has a medical condition that prohibits participation in the program. A doctor’s note will be required. The refund will be pro-rated based on the number of classes attended. A $5 service charge will be assessed to all refunds. • Trips Refunds are given only if your place can be sold or if the Park District cancels the trip. • All Other Refunds (unless otherwise noted) Refunds will be issued if a request is received prior to the start of a program minus a $5 service charge. Accident Insurance The Darien Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for the participants of its programs. The cost of doing so would be so high that fees charged for programs would become prohibitive. We suggest that you review your family’s personal health insurance plan to be sure that it provides you with sufficient coverage. At the time of registration, please read the waiver and release of liability form included on the registration form. It must be signed by an adult, or a parent/legal guardian for all children under 18. At your first program session you may be presented with an additional sheet describing some of the risks involved in the particular activity you have signed up for. If so, that additional form will become a part of your Waiver, Release and Hold Harmless Agreement. We also suggest that you check with your family physician before participating in any Park District programs that require physical exertion. If your physician should discover some factor that could limit you physically, please consider them when registering for programs. We want the registrants in our programs to be aware in advance that when they participate in certain activities, there is a natural element of risk of injury which each participant must assume. The park district is covered by liability insurance and will strictly enforce all rules. Photography Photos and videos are periodically taken by our staff of people participating in Park District programs and activities. All persons registering for Park District programs/activities, or using Park District property thereby agrees that any photograph or videotape taken by the Park District may be used by the Park District for promotional purposes including its electronic media, videotapes, brochures, flyers and other publications without additional, prior notice or permission and without compensation to the participant unless the registrant or participant expressly files with the Park District a written objection as to photos or videos of themselves and/or their children. On-line Registration at www.darienparks.com 4 Registration Information Participant Behavior Code of Conduct The Darien Park District expects participants to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. Guidelines have been developed to help make our programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Participants shall: 1. Show respect to all other participants, staff and volunteers. 2. Follow direction from staff and volunteers. 3. Refrain from using inappropriate, abusive or foul language. 4. Refrain from causing disruptive behavior. 5. Refrain from displaying any aggressive behavior (hitting, punching, kicking, slapping, biting, etc.) whether the behavior is initiated or in retaliation. 6. Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities. Failure to follow these rules may result in dismissal from the program. Observers Observers of programs are also expected to behave appropriately. Parents, friends, and any other observers are held to the same standards of behavior as participants. If inappropriate behavior of a program observer is reported or observed by a staff person, the observer will be asked to leave by staff or police if necessary. Gift Cards Gift certificates are available in any denomination. and may be used for all Park District programs or for Fitness Center Memberships. Animal Etiquette Animals being walked in the parks must be on a leash. The owner of every animal shall be responsible for the removal of and sanitary disposition of any excreta deposited by his or her animal in any park. When accompanying the animal, the owner shall have on his/her person suitable means for the removal of such excreta which will then be placed in a refuse container for sanitary removal.

Pilates, developed nearly a century ago by Joseph Pilates, is the most evolved system for strengthening these important core muscles which help keep the body balanced and which support the spine. The central aim of Pilates is to create a fusion of mind and body so that movement is efficient, balanced and graceful. You will learn how to engage and stabilize the muscles of the core to initiate movement, rather than using movement to activate the muscles.

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial - The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is conceived of as an engaging landscape experience tied to other landscapes and monuments, not as a single object or memorial dominating the site. The composition of the memorial utilizes landscape elements to powerfully convey four fundamental and recurring themes throughout Dr. King’s message: justice, democracy, hope and love. The semicircular geometry of the memorial, juxtaposed within the triangular configuration of the site, engages the Tidal Basin and views to the water. The Lincoln Memorial - The Lincoln Memorial stands at the west end of the National Mall as a neoclassical monument to the 16th President. The memorial, designed by Henry Bacon, after ancient Greek temples, stands 190 feet long, 119 feet wide, and almost 100 feet high. It is surrounded by a peristyle of 36 fluted Doric columns, one for each of the thirty six states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death. The Washington Monument - The Washington Monument is the most prominent structure in Washington, D.C. and one of the city’s early attractions. It was built in honor of George Washington, who led the country to independence and then became its first President. The Monument is shaped like an Egyptian obelisk, stands 555’ 5 1/8” tall, and offers views in excess of thirty miles. It was finished on December 6, 1884. The Washington National Cathedral - Washington National Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church. It is the sixth-largest cathedral in the world, the second-largest in the United States, and the fourth-tallest structure in Washington, D.C. In 2009, nearly 400,000 visitors toured the structure. The National Cathedral began construction in 1907 and refinements continue to this very day. The Iwo Jima Memorial - The Iwo Jima Memorial, also known as the U. S. Marine Corps War Memorial, honors the Marines who have died defending the United States since 1775. The Tomb of the Unknowns - The Tomb of the Unknowns, near the center of the cemetery, is one of Arlington’s most popular tourist sites. The Tomb contains the remains of unknown American soldiers from World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. The Tomb is guarded 24-hours-per-day and 365-days-per year by specially trained members of the 3rd United States Infantry (The Old Guard). Arlington National Cemetary - Honor, remember and explore at the Arlington National Cemetery, a United States military cemetery beneath whose soil have been laid causalities and deceased veterans of the nation’s conflicts beginning with the American Civil War as well as reinterred dead from earlier wars.
