Dear Vernon Hills Residents,
With Fall around the corner and the kids still out of school, the Family
Aquatic Center is the place to be on these hot summer days! Come and enjoy a cool
dip in the pool as well as some delicious food from Bo-Bo’s Diner of Vernon Hills, our
concessionaire at the aquatic center. Beginning August 15 through Labor Day, the
Family Aquatic Center will only be open on weekends from 12-5 pm due to the high school
and college age lifeguards and deck staff returning to the classroom in mid-August.
Our final Movie in the Park this summer will be on August 26 at dusk at the
north end of Deerpath Park, next to the Warrington playground. The featured film is
”Zootopia”.
Celebrate the end of summer at our 6th Annual Little Bear Ribfest in Century
Park! On August 19 & 20, the park will be filled with blues music entertainers, rib
vendors and beverages! Refer to page 7 for more information and be sure to visit the
Ribfest website at www.littlebearribfest.com.
Families can play together at our 9th Annual Worldwide Day of Play event
on September 17th. This event features fun, outdoor recreational games for every
age. No registration is necessary, just come out and play in Century Park North! Mark
your calendars now for all the October special events. Trucks, Trunks, and Treats, a
Halloween themed event for children, will take place on October 8th and our popular
Fall Fest is October 28th. When all of your Halloween activities are over, head over to
the Century Park sled hill on November 5th for the Annual Pumpkin Launch. Bring your
pumpkins and “launch” them down the sled hill for a “smashing” good time!
The Kids’ Castle playground in Deerpath Park, constructed by our community
in 1997, has been replaced with a modern day castle and is open for play! Vernon
Hills’ resident, Amy Lamberti, was the District’s community volunteer leader for this
playground project. Amy organized the volunteer effort of residents who offered their
time to demolish the old playground and build fences and benches along with planting
flowers for the new Kids’ Castle play area.
The Sullivan Community Center construction is underway and on schedule for a
Spring, 2017 completion. The project includes a new state-of-the-art preschool wing,
an additional full-size gymnasium, a new customer service entrance, and offices for the
Administrative staff. See page 4 for more details about the renovation.
Step outdoors and enjoy the best your parks and Park District have to offer!
David Doerhoefer
Board Meetings: The District is governed by five elected Commissioners who set policy for the operation of the Park

suggestions during the appropriate time as listed on the agenda.

SRACLC / SPONSORSHIP
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 (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.
SRACLC needs your help. Program leaders, Day Camp
counselors, volunteers and Part-time staff are needed to
assist individuals with special needs or disabilities. If you are
interested in part-time work, please contact the SRACLC office
at (847) 816-4866.

Full and part-week classes are divided into age-appropriate
programs and provide children with high-quality, fun experiences.
For the little ones, we make sure that personal attention, as well
as smiles and giggles, is a big part of their day. Preschoolers
learn to make choices, share and work in groups while they play
games and create.
What makes us special?
Once a family joins our program, they become part of our
family, returning year after year and referring friends to the program. Family events are held frequently to bond our families and
teachers together. Parents are welcome to share in their child’s
experiences whether it’s feeding their infant, reading to their
toddler or chaperoning a field trip.
The strength of our school is our dedicated and caring staff.
Each teacher is a trained professional selected for their expertise in Early Childhood Education. They provide a warm, caring
and responsive relationship with each child as developmental
skills are achieved.

This fall, we’ll “fall” topsy-turvy for our
cartoon lessons. Eating broccoli may not
sound appetizing to some, but in a Young
Rembrandts classroom, it’ll make for a
fun and storied drawing. The never ending
rivalry rages on as the cats and dogs go
at it again in the month of September.
Develop a different and definitely more expressive appreciation
for vegetables as we draw veggie expressions in October. In
November, weirder means better as we draw unusual pets and
put the pedal to the metal as we race to create cartoon car
expressions in December. We’ll draw these (and many more
exciting lessons!) while we enhance the creative and critical
thinking skills today’s students need – both, in the classroom
and in the life-long learning process. Enroll today!

the rainbow our youngest artists

pattern-rich spectrum of subjects.
We’ll soak in the warm colors of
the sun as we draw a radiating
sun face and we’ll be careful not
to get tangled up in our patterned
spider web we draw in October!
Learn about Native American culture through a detailed tepee
we’ll draw in November, and celebrate the coming of the winter

Swim Lessons
Swim Lessons
The goal of the Park District’s swim program is to create a life-long interest in aquatics activities, promote a healthy lifestyle and
improve a child’s safety in the water. Lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim guidelines. Taught by instructors who
are certified lifeguards, our lessons feature progressive swimming instruction and practice of water safety skills.
Selecting the Right Class for Your Child
1. Review the general descriptions. Choose the first class
that lists a skill that your child has not yet mastered.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
Parent / Tot Swim Lessons Ages: 6 months-4 years
You and your child will be exposed to water adjustment activities
and experience supported movements in a fun and enjoyable
manner. This program is designed to let children have fun in the
water through games and activities while developing swimming
readiness. Only one child per adult will be allowed. If more than
one child is enrolled, a second adult must be present.
Parent/Tot and Preschool lessons
are listed on page 38.

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

these programs against the Club, any and all participating or cooperating governmental units, any and all independent
contractors, officers, agents, servants and employees of the governmental bodies and independent contractors, and any

General Information
Speakers Bureau Local groups are encouraged to invite our staff
to your meetings to speak about Park District happenings. Contact
Cheryl Baron at (847) 996-6933.
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 Jeff Fougerousse, Executive
Director, at (847)996-6800. For the deaf or hearing-impaired, call the
Illinois Relay Center voice only operator at 800-526-0857.
Food Allergy Policy The Park District will attempt to accommodate
each program participant who has a food allergy in order to provide
the safest learning environment possible. A Food Allergy Action
Plan will be created by the District staff and parents and will identify
operational practices for parents, teachers and children to follow. For
a copy of the Food Allergy Policy, contact Tom Ritter, Superintendent of
Recreation, at (847) 996-6802.
No Smoking Policy In addition to the Smoke Free Illinois Act, the entire Park District which includes all facilities, buildings, parks, streets,
paths, open space and all waters, is designated as tobacco free.

Age Qualification
The District establishes appropriate age qualifications for each of its
programs. Only the program 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.
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. 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 Citizen Discount 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 will be applied.
Payment Policy - Households with an unpaid balance will not be
allowed to register for any Vernon Hills Park District programs,
activities, memberships or rentals until the balance is paid in full.
For assitance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Services
Supervisor at 847-996-6803.
NSF Policy A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks
returned due to non-sufficient funds (NSF).
Photo & Video Policy On occasion, the District staff or contractors
may take pictures or video footage of participants 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 or for
media promotion. Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the
Park District to use in its informational materials.
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.
Notary Public Services Notary public services are available at the
Lachen Community Center. Please remember that documents must be
signed in the presence of the Notary Public.
