1.RESIDEnTREGISTRATIOnOnLY Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday, Aug. 3

from 8:00 am-4:00 pm at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, and continues thereafter during regular office hours. Residents can only register their own family during resident registration on Aug. 3. Countryside residents may also register beginning Aug. 3.

2.nOn-RESIDEnTREGISTRATIOn Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries

may register starting at 8 a.m. Monday, Aug. 12. This includes Neighborhood Network residents.

3.OnLInEREGISTRATIOn The Park District of La Grange offers online registration. Come in

to the Recreation Center to complete an online registration form to receive the required user name and password for online access. Online registration runs simultaneously to walk-in registration; neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season. A non-refundable $2 administration fee applies to online registration transactions. Register online at www.pdlg.org.

4. FIRSTCOMEFIRSTSERVED All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will

be filled on a first come, first served basis.

5.PROGRAMWAITInGLISTS Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety

for you and your children. In the past, we made every effort to accommodate as many residents as possible without negatively impacting the programs. This has led to disappointment and frustration for all involved due to problems in timing (those on the waiting lists would find another way to spend their time), and the difficulty related to finding qualified instructors in a short period of time.

For this program season, waiting lists will be unlimited. This list will be taken to allow for dropouts and cancellations prior to the start of a program. Our deadline for requesting refunds is 5 days before the start of class. This change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status.

6. FALSEInFORMATIOn/RESIDEnTPriority

Persons failing to indicate Non-Resident status, or registering Non-Residents as Park District Residents will be dropped from the program without refund.

7.REFunDSAnDCAnCELLATIOn Refunds will not be issued after the first class date and must be

requested no less than 5 days before the first class meeting. A prorated refund will be issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certificate from a physician that a medical condition exists that prohibits participation. The medical note must be received no later than 14 days after the session end date. A prorated refund may also be issued if the registrant moves outside of the District boundaries. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing, or the District cancels a program. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit or class transfer, if available.

8. InSuFFICIEnTFunDSFEE:

In the event that a program is paid for by check, and that check is returned to the District stamped N.S.F., full payment as well as a $20.00 penalty will be required in cash or cashiers check before attendance in a class can continue.

9. FEECODE The fee code used in this brochure is as follows: (R) Residents of La Grange & Countryside (NR) Non-Resident (NN) Neighborhood Network

10.PROOFOFRESIDEnCY Proof of La Grange or Countryside residency is required to qualify

for resident rates for program registrations, usage passes and facility rentals. A driver’s license, state ID or utility bill is acceptable. This policy assures the lowest fees for La Grange residents.

11.nEIGHBORHOODnETWORk(nn) All communities that border La Grange which include Western

Springs, La Grange Park, Brookfield, La Grange Highlands, and McCook will be charged only 10% more than resident rate for all programs. Proof of residency is required.

12.CO-OPPROGRAMMInG If the graphic symbol q appears next to a program title it is a co-op

15.PAYMEnT/EnROLLMEnTVERIFICATIOn When in doubt, call the Park District office at (708) 352-1762.

If after your initial registration you decide to enroll in more programs during the same program season, simply alert us to that fact when you register. The assessment fee does not apply to online registrations. Collecting this fee allows the Park District to meets its costs without raising fees for every program.

ProgramPhilosophyLearning Ladders has been designed to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and creative needs of children ages 2 1/2 to 5. It is based on the premise that children learn through play. Play serves as a “child’s work”, a time when new discoveries and friendships are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with words, express feelings, explore, create, problem solve, make decisions, and much, much more.In addition to creative free play there will be a balance of teacher directed group activities as well. Introduction and exposure to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other beginning concepts occur. Our teaching staff creates and implements lesson plans based on Illinois Early Learning Standards.

or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals.

TibetanSingingBowlConcert(LG)Singing bowls are a beautiful and powerful mystery. The bowls pro-duce the sounds of AUM and HU, the “sounds” of energy becoming matter. The bowls make an excellent tool for meditation, centering and relieves stress. The Bowls used are over 100 years old and made up of an alloy of 7 metals! The vibration of the singing bowls synchronizes with brain waves and creates a therapeutic effect upon the mind/body by entraining the brain to move into Alpha & Theta states. When the brain goes into this state, the heart rate slows, the blood pressure nor-malizes, and tension melts away creating an opportunity for the body to “heal” itself. You will be laying on the floor for approx, one hour, so please bring, mat, pillows and or blanket (or all) for comfort. It is sug-gested not to eat right before this energy work, or eat very lightly.Age: ............... 18 years and olderInstructor: ..... Danielle DvorakMin/Max: ..... 10/40Location: .......

fItNESSGongMeditation(LG) nEW!Discover the unique spiritual resonance and healing abilities of the Earth Gong and Tibetan singing Bowls. This event is sometimes called a “Sound Bath” or “Gong Bath” because you are bathed in sound and vibration, while remaining fully clothed, lying on the floor. The vibra-tions of the Earth Gong coaxes the brain into Alpha and/or Theta states, resulting in the autonomic nervous system switching to parasym-pathetic dominance. When the brain goes into Alpha or Theta state, it slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, releases stored tension and toxins and more. It feels great! This is the perfect opportunity to medi-tate, contemplate or just relax and let yourself be energetically cleansed.Age: ............... 16 years and olderInstructor: .....

Men’sYoga(LG) nEW!As men age, physiological changes manifest themselves as less flex-ibility overall, muscular atrophy and, inevitably, weight gain. These physiological changes in turn affect how we view ourselves. To ward off the effects of aging, yoga for men is essential in the arsenal of physical fitness that every man should be performing. With the combination of Vinyasa Flow Yoga for creating heat within the body, Hatha Yoga for creating strength and body awareness, and Yin Yoga for lower body flexibility and opening, men can reclaim their flexibility, strength and vitality. More importantly, we can change how we feel about ourselves and life in general. Prior Yoga recommended, but newcomers are most welcome.

MedicalJujitsuforSeniors(kM) nEW!Why martial arts for seniors? What a great concept. Healthy living, healthy aging, and living longer; as we grow older we find ourselves limited by the years of wear and tear and the pain associated with it. Simple answer: reversing or slowing the effects of age and pain, in addition to acquiring the benefits of self defense and self protection. Danzan Ryu Jujitsu is a Japanese Martial Art developed in Hawaii, when translated into English, Jujitsu means “gentle, pliable or flexible art.” The “gentleness” of the art is expressed in the execution of the techniques, and is not reflected in the effect upon the attacker, except at the discretion of the person executing the technique. Using the technique, a person may either control an attacker with a minimum amount of pain (neutralization) or use a technique designed to produce a great deal of pain.

GENEraL INforMatIoN

imPortant informationthe Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety.Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs.The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

PARkuSAGERuLESFor your Safety and Protection....CERTAIN LOCAL RULES ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS SO THAT ALL MAY ENJOY THE PARKS SAFELY. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES.1. No dogs are allowed in the parks.2. No alcoholic beverages are allowed in any park areas.3. No driving or parking of cars, motorcycles or snowmobiles are

allowed in any grass area or sportsfield.4. No weapons of any type may be carried by anyone in the park except

by the police. This includes slingshots, pellet guns or guns which are in a case.

5. No smoking within any Park District buildings.6. No golfing in the parks. Youth Golf Program participants are

exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons.7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted.

Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.)

PROGRAMCODEOFCOnDuCTTo ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall:• Show respect to all participants and staff.• Refrain from using foul language.• Refrain from causing bodily harm.• Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities.Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff.

Program finanCial assistanCeThe Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees.Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

Co-oP ProgrammingIf the graphic symbol q appears next to a program title, it is a CO-OP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents.

AMERICAnSWITHDISABILITIESACT(ADA)The Park District of La Grange is committed to accessibility for individuals with disabilities and strives to provide equal, integrated participation in all programs, activities and services. The Park District’s policy is to reasonably accommodate all qualified program applicants in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We welcome the questions, comments and concerns of interested community members regarding District ADA compliance.To arrange for auxiliary aids or accommodations enabling individuals with disabilities to participate in Park District public meetings, or to request publications in a special format (such as audiocassette or large print), contact the Superintendent of Recreation by calling (708) 352-1762 or by writing to 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

LATEPICk-uPPOLICYthe Park District of La Grange staff will supervise children who are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pick-ups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the recreation Center located at 536 East avenue befOre your child can attend the next day of camp/class. If you have any questions, please call Laura Gallagher at 352-1762.
