Gorton Community Center: ‘the gathering<br />

place in the heart of the community’<br />

At Gorton Community<br />

Center, our mission is to<br />

be the gathering place in<br />

the heart of the community<br />

— where people connect,<br />

converse, learn, listen,<br />

play and perform. We take<br />

this to heart as we create<br />

summer fun and plan<br />

stimulating camps for your<br />

children. While many past<br />

favorites will be brought<br />

back, there are several new<br />

exciting options, as well.<br />

Gorton will offer everything<br />

from RoboThink,<br />

Make lasting memories<br />

at Lake Forest Parks and<br />

Recreation summer camps<br />

Lake Forest Parks and Recreation offers<br />

a wide variety of summer camp experiences<br />

right here in our community with<br />

flexible schedules, affordable pricing and<br />

a reputation that is second to none.<br />

From traditional, super fun day camps<br />

to sports, nature, dance, art and technology,<br />

we have a camp for every child. Registration<br />

opens March 6 for residents and<br />

March 13 for non-residents.<br />

View our brochure and register online<br />

at www.LFParksandRec.com, or stop by<br />

the Recreation Center.<br />

New this year, we are proud to offer<br />

extended day camp. To accommodate<br />

working or busy parents, campers can<br />

stay an extra three hours (or until picked<br />

up) and enjoy activities such as crafts,<br />

games, sports and more! Extended Day<br />

Camp will be located at Deerpath Middle<br />

School, an ideal location for McCormick<br />

and All Stars campers. Campers can be<br />

picked up any time before 6 p.m.<br />

Our traditional day camps, which include<br />

Summer Discovery, Everett Explorers,<br />

McCormick and All Stars, are for<br />

children ages 3-12 and are offered from<br />

one week to eight weeks, so you can customize<br />

your summer camp schedule to fit<br />

your family’s summer plans. Many of our<br />

camps offer the opportunity to participate<br />

in weekly trips to the beach, and campers<br />

enjoy multiple field trips throughout the<br />

summer.<br />

Adventure Camp provides an all-day,<br />

outdoor camp experience for six weeks,<br />

or in two-week increments. This year,<br />

our sport-specific camps include sailing,<br />

golf, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, football,<br />

gymnastics and volleyball. We also offer<br />

STEM. camps, which include robotics,<br />

Minecraft, 3-D design and printing, augmented<br />

reality, and more.<br />

Our beloved Twigs Camp is back and<br />

better than ever with an emphasis on art<br />

(including ceramics, drawing and painting),<br />

theater and dance. Dance Me a Story<br />

camps for ages 3-7 will have your tiny<br />

dancer twirling to the music of “Mary<br />

Poppins” and “The Wizard of Oz.” At our<br />

new So You Think You Can Dance Camp,<br />

campers ages 6-9 can get into the groove<br />

and explore a new style of dance each day.<br />

Wildlife camps are always a favorite<br />

and the Wildlife Discovery Center is one<br />

of the best places for kids to learn about<br />

animals and nature as they study and observe<br />

local wildlife along the Middlefork<br />

Savana. Daily interaction with the WDC<br />

animals provides children with the opportunity<br />

to learn animal handling basics and<br />

much more.<br />

For older kids who are currently in<br />

grades 7-10 or are 13-15 years old, our<br />

popular Counselor in Training volunteer<br />

program offers the opportunity to develop<br />

leadership skills through summer work<br />

experience. The many skills learned by<br />

the CIT will aid them in possibly obtaining<br />

future paying job opportunities. The<br />

CIT information packet and application<br />

is available for pick up at the Recreation<br />

Center or on our website.<br />

It's exciting when<br />

Math Makes Sense!<br />

At Mathnasium, we believe that every child has the ability to<br />

be successful in math—it’s a matter of teaching the way that<br />

makes sense to them. When math makes sense, kids excel—<br />

whether they’re far behind or eager to get ahead.<br />

For more than a decade, the Mathnasium Method has<br />

transformed the way kids in grades 2–12 understand and<br />

appreciate math. We build math knowledge upon what they<br />

already know—this helps kids learn quickly and boosts their<br />

confidence right away. When math makes sense, grades<br />

improve, excitement grows, and doors open!<br />

HP AYSO VIP: the only soccer program serving<br />

special needs players on the North Shore<br />

Highland Park AYSO<br />

Region 891 is excited for<br />

hundreds of players to take<br />

the fields this spring.<br />

If you make your way<br />

around Highland Park on<br />

a Saturday during the season,<br />

you’re sure to see a<br />

rainbow of uniform colors<br />

and kids of all ages playing<br />

soccer while parents,<br />

coaches and friends cheer<br />

them on.<br />

AYSO has been a top<br />

choice for parents and their<br />

soccer players for more<br />

than 50 years. Guided by<br />

its six philosophies — Everyone<br />

Plays, Balanced<br />

Teams, Open Registration,<br />

Positive Coaching, Good<br />

Sportsmanship and Player<br />

Development — AYSO<br />

places strong emphasis on<br />

ethics, sportsmanship and<br />

the development of the<br />

whole child.<br />

Most parents recognize<br />

AYSO, but what they may<br />

not know is that the AYSO<br />

VIP (Very Important Player)<br />

Program provides a<br />

quality soccer experience<br />

for children whose disabilities<br />

make it difficult<br />

to successfully participate<br />

on core AYSO teams. HP<br />

AYSO Region 891 offers<br />

the only program like this<br />

on Chicago’s entire North<br />

Shore.<br />

For parents thinking<br />

they would never see their<br />

children playing a sport or<br />

making new friends, VIP<br />

gives them joy and hope.<br />

They are able to relax and<br />

enjoy watching their children<br />

having fun like other<br />

kids, perhaps for the first<br />

time.<br />

Jennifer Freeman, parent<br />

of three players, encourages<br />

parents to look<br />

into the program.<br />

“There is a wide range<br />

of things that can impact a<br />

player’s ability to participate<br />

on a mainstream team.<br />

The VIP program provides<br />

opportunity for players<br />

who are visually impaired,<br />

have mobility issues, are<br />

mentally or emotionally<br />

challenged or suffer from<br />

autism, Down syndrome<br />

or cerebral palsy.”<br />

Coaches and administrators<br />

have experience with<br />

special needs kids and<br />

have specialized training.<br />

The program is designed<br />

to be flexible and creative.<br />

Teams are co-ed and since<br />

there are no other programs<br />

like VIP, players<br />

can be drawn from several<br />

neighboring regions. And,<br />

the VIP program cost is<br />

subsidized by HP AYSO,<br />

so the cost to families is<br />

reduced.<br />

Kids with special needs<br />

are estimated to make up<br />

more than 10 percent of<br />

the school-age population.<br />

Special schools and<br />

classrooms can isolate<br />

these children so the VIP<br />

Program has been structured<br />

to integrate our special<br />

kids into the rest of<br />

AYSO by using “buddies,”<br />

who are a little older, have<br />

played soccer and are<br />

more typical in their development.<br />

Todd Rosenthal, parent<br />

of two soccer players and<br />

president of the Highland<br />

Park AYSO volunteer<br />

board, is excited for the<br />

spring season of VIP.<br />

There are many potential<br />

VIP players in our local<br />

schools and communities.<br />

These kids within the<br />

VIP program can have the<br />

benefits of sports participation<br />

in a supportive, fun<br />

environment.<br />

PLAN IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR<br />

pre-wedding<br />

salon experience!<br />

Pascal pour Elle has worked with thousands<br />

of brides and their families and bridal<br />

parties, helping them look and feel their best<br />

for the big day! The salon visit for you and<br />

your bridal team is the perfect opportunity<br />

to create the right mood and set the stage for<br />

the memorable weekend to follow. At Pascal<br />

pour Elle, this might include champagne,<br />

caviar, limo pick-up, and all the VIP touches<br />

to reflect that once-in-a lifetime experience!<br />

So to help with the “beauty down the aisle”<br />

on that most special day when all eyes are<br />

on you...we’ve put together a checklist of<br />

some of the things to be considered and<br />

managed in advance that will bring out the<br />

most beautiful you.<br />

PLAN AHEAD!<br />

Select a salon and spa that is of the highest<br />

quality and reputation, with a team of<br />

licensed professionals that can deliver under<br />

one roof all your bridal parties beauty and<br />

grooming needs-from head to toe. Consult<br />

with the salon manager to ensure your<br />

comfort level with his or her approach and<br />

how you and your guests will be cared for.<br />

Book the date/s for everything, if possible<br />

months in advance but at least one month<br />

out, to avoid any scheduling hassles. Look<br />

in the date and times with your family and<br />

bridal party.<br />

DETERMINE YOUR BRIDAL<br />

LOOK IN ADVANCE!<br />

Once you’ve booked the salon/spa, now<br />

the fun begins. You get to work with your<br />

salon consultant and/or stylist in advance<br />

to determine the look you want-for you and<br />

your entire bridal party. You may already<br />

know, or you may want to look online or at<br />

bridal publications to find what you desire<br />

for your day. Use your salon consultant or<br />

stylist to bounce ideas off of so the final<br />

decision is right for you.<br />

FINGERS AND TOES ARE<br />

OBVIOUS, BUT DON’T<br />

FORGET THE SKIN!<br />

There is without a question a “natural glow”<br />

of happiness on a bride’s face when her<br />

wedding day arrives. But you can also help<br />

enhance that glow with a series of facials<br />

leading up to the big day, perhaps starting as<br />

early as six months prior. To ensure pictureperfect<br />

looking skin on your wedding day,<br />

the last prenuptial facial should take place<br />

no later than two weeks before the big day.<br />

Yes, it’s all in the planning. If you treat the<br />

salon experience with the same advance<br />

attention to detail as every other aspect of<br />

your wedding day, then you and your bridal<br />

party will feel great, look great, and enjoy<br />

the pampering along the way.
