SAVING
MONEY IS

start. Let’s chat today and I’ll tell
you all the reasons why switching

Vision Statement
Addressing the lifelong leisure needs of all Vernon Hills residents.
Dear Vernon Hills Residents,
Soon warmer weather will welcome you and your family back to our parks and playgrounds. In just a few months,
kids will be having fun at summer camps and riding the slides at the Family Aquatic Center.
Mission Statement
To promote diverse community based recreational
opportunities by providing a variety of programs,
services, facilities, and natural spaces to
enhance the quality of life for
our residents.
Family Aquatic Center (FAC) season passes are on sale now! Purchase your pass before April 30 and save 10%. This summer, FAC season pass holders
have the opportunity to purchase a 15-punch pass to Lakeview Fitness at a discounted rate. Be sure to pick-up an FAC Summer Guide this spring at any Park
District facility! This publication is filled with activities and special events happening at your neighborhood pool all summer long!
Your Park District is full of fun this spring and summer! We have 20 special events scheduled in addition to our GO Vernon Hills walking program’s five group walks. Lakeview Fitness is
also offering a spring personal training special and a summer membership for students and educators. Are you a gardener, but need more yard space? The lottery for a garden plot in
one of our three community gardens is held March 3-31. The Farmers Market is back this summer on Thursday afternoons, June 11 through September 24 in Century Park.
Did you know the Park District offers numerous drop-in programs? There is no need to register – just drop-in, pay a nominal fee, and play! Basketball, pickleball, table tennis,
shuffleboard, volleyball, and many swim programs are offered.
Early this spring, our existing Skate Park will be removed and a new state-of-the-art skate park will be constructed just north of the original site near the Sullivan Community Center.
View page 6 for a rendering of the new park. The Skate Park is a collaboration between the Park District, Village of Vernon Hills, and Hawthorn School District 73.
I’m proud to announce that Vernon Hills Park District was awarded the 2019 Exceptional Workplace Award by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association’s Health and Wellness
Committee. This award recognizes the District for providing great opportunities and support for our staff in the name of Health and Wellness.
Have fun this summer and be sure to take time to enjoy your parks.

resembles a mailbox.

Help millions of less fortunate children share in the
magic of the holidays. Local Toys for Tots Campaigns are
the heart and soul of the Marine Toys for Tots Program
managed by dedicated United States Marines and local
volunteers. Collection boxes are located at the Sullivan
Community Center and Lakeview Fitness during the
holiday season. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped
off until mid-December.
SWALCO Reuse-A-Shoe
Donate shoes of all types*, sizes, and conditions. Of all
the materials collected, 95% or more will be recycled
or reused, and you can be a part of this great effort!
The collection box is located in the Sullivan Community
Center.

footwear. The collection box is located in the Sullivan
Community Center.

Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County
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 and services 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.
SRACLC needs your help!
Program leaders, part-time staff, and volunteers 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.
SRACLC Day Camp 2020
SRACLC camps are geared towards children and teens, ages 3-21, with special needs or those who have
better success in smaller groups with more supervision. Counselors plan fun and exciting activities such as
high energy group games, themed crafts, water play, singing and dancing, morning field trips, and so much
more. Campers will go swimming every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon as well as enjoy outdoor play each
day. Note: Campers are grouped according to age and ability.

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. Upon successful completion of each level, swimmers will
receive an American Red Cross certificate.
Select the Right Class
Before Class
Review the skill lists on vhparkdistrict.org. Choose the first class that lists a skill
that your child has not yet mastered.
First Day of Class
Your child'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.
Keep in Mind
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.
Questions
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.

Morning preschoolers can come for lunch and stay for
activities including music, cooking, outdoor play, and
more! Children must bring their own lunch each day.
Giggles, Grooving and Glitter | 3-5 Years
Young girls get up on their feet for dance, aerobics
and games! Girls enjoy lunch together while listening
to music and visiting with friends. During the last part
of the class, we get the glitter and other craft supplies
out and create projects that every girl adores! On the
first day of class, we provide a small supply list for class
projects. Bonnie Imburgia
Boys Club | 3-5 Years
Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails-that's what little
boys are made of, plus a lot of energy! Boys will have
fun playing sports and other physical activities in the
gym. In the classroom, they will explore more activities
including playing with cars, building with Legos, and
learning about dinosaurs. Each topic will include a
project they create. Bonnie Imburgia
Play for 60 | 3-5 Years
The NFL encourages children to be active for at least
60 minutes a day. The Park District believes it's just
as important! If your child has some free time or has
attended AM preschool and has some extra energy to
burn, this class will offer large motor activities, sports,
and outdoor play, weather permitting. Cari Herman
Curious Counters | 4-5 Years
Science and math all in one class. The curriculum will
alternate between science concepts and Kindergarten
readiness math skills. We will also have large motor
play in the gym or on the playground. Bonnie Imburgia
"I am so grateful to the teachers at Little Learners. My son had never been away from me until he
started this program. We enrolled him along with the enrichment program and couldn’t be happier. He has learned so
much, become more confident, learned to make friends and most importantly is excited about school every day that
he goes. The communication from the teachers about what they have learned daily is thorough and the pictures we
receive of the kids doing their activities is a bonus. We absolutely love both of the programs." – Naz

Lacrosse
59
The Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association is adopting the US Lacrosse “Players first”
Athlete Development Model: The Right Lacrosse at the Right Time. Providing every
athlete the opportunity to enter, enjoy and excel by learning and playing lacrosse in
a way that’s best for each stage of growth and development. This creates a model
of participation that provides opportunity for all, for life. Rationale for Small-Sided
Competition: Smaller players, smaller fields. That’s the name of the
game if we want to keep kids engaged, developing their skills
and getting more touches on the ball. We’ll see better skill
development, more enjoyment, and increased retention rates
by letting the kids play the right way.
To register, pay at the Vernon Hills Park District and register at
www.iglax.org (Spring 2020 Pink League or Little Laxers). All

• Refund requests received less than 10 days before the start of a program
or after a program has begun will be granted and pro-rated upon
administrative approval. The $5 service charge will apply.
• No refunds are issued once 50% of the program has been completed.

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

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.
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 assistance with an unpaid balance contact the Business Operations Manager at
(847) 996-6803.
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, Lakeview Fitness memberships,
and Lakeview Fitness daily passes. 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.
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Policy
A $25 service charge will be assessed on all checks returned due to non-sufficient
funds.
Photo & Video Policy
The District occasionally takes photographs or video of participants for promoting/
advertising our programs, services, events, activities, and facilities in our brochures,
website or agency social media, and other promotional avenues. By registering
for, participating in or attending District programs, events, or other activities, the
participant (or parent/guardian of a minor participant) irrevocably agrees to the use
and distribution by the Park District of his or her image (or of his minor child/ward)
in photographs, video recordings, and any other electronic reproductions of such
programs, events and activities for any purpose without inspection or approval and
without compensation, rights to royalties or any other consideration now and in the
future.
Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its
informational materials. To submit a photo, email Cassidy Reinhard, Marketing
Specialist, at cassidyr@vhparkdistrict.org.
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 District Behavior Management Policy (2.39) will be
used as a guideline. The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose
actions endanger the safety of himself or others.
Notary Public Services
Notary public services are available at the Sullivan Community Center. Please
remember that documents must be signed in the presence of the Notary Public.
