How to Register:
When you see a program or special event that
interests you, sign up! Many of our programs
are very popular and waiting until the last
minute may result in a full class, insufficient
enrollment, or class cancellations. Please
make sure to review registration deadlines
and requirements for your particular area
of interest because they are often different
depending on the activity and the facility.
Fill out the appropriate registration form completely. Registration forms are available at all
WPD facilities or online at winpark.org. This would include all family information, activity
information, payment information, waiver, and release signature. Incomplete forms may
delay processing your registration form. Our general registration form can be used for the
entire family. Registration is accepted in-person, mail-in, by fax, and online (unless otherwise
indicated in the program/facility description). Payment can be submitted in the form of cash
(in-person only), checks (made payable to the Winnetka Park District) or by American Express,

Late Registration
Policy
In order to form classes and teams,
hire supervisors and coaches, and
purchase sufficient supplies, the
Winnetka Park District must know
in advance how many people are
registered. In an effort to discourage
sign-ups on or after registration day,
the Park District has instituted a late
fee penalty. Registrations taken
after the deadlines are subject to
up to a $25 late fee.

HAPPINESS IS I
The staff of the Winnetka Park District’s Happiness Is 1 camp recognizes that for many parents, this
will be the first time someone other than family will be caring for their children. We truly respect
the fact that you have entrusted us with your child and will make it our responsibility to provide a
safe and fun experience for each little camper. Our staff is comprised of responsible young adults
who will do their absolute best to provide a wonderful time for your youngster each and every day.
Campers will be exposed to a wide range of arts and crafts, games, sports, outdoor nature fun,
storytime, special events, theme weeks, and so much more! Happiness Is 1 does NOT go on any
beach or excursion days. However, special guests like magicians and storybook readers will visit camp
periodically, and there will be frequent water-themed days.

Whether this is your first camp experience or you’re a veteran of our programs, Happiness Is 2 is a fantastic fit for you
and your children. While safety is our primary concern, our mature and responsible staff will get those little balls of
energy moving, laughing, and having a great time. Campers will participate in a wide array of creative arts and craft
projects, imaginative games, exciting sports, outdoor nature fun, water days, special events, dress-up days and so
much more! Every week will also feature a specific theme in which many of the activities will be tailored. The days

approximately knee-deep in the water and create a small semi-circle facing the shoreline where all children
must remain inside. In addition, extra lifeguards will be on staff patrolling the beach watching over those tiny fish splashing around.
There will also be special guest appearances from a magician and storytellers, and we’ll even take a few excursions to secure and

SUMMER CAMP
2nd - 4th GRADES
ALMOST ANYTHING GOES
Almost Anything Goes is the next step in the Winnetka Park District’s camp experiences. At AAG, campers will
get the opportunity to experiment in just about everything. They’ll have an exciting capture-the-flag game
outside, a thrilling round of dodgeball in the gym, get absolutely drenched during a water activity, and dabble
in their creative side with an art project—and that’s all just in one day!
AFTER CAMP
AVAILABLE
UNTIL 6:00 PM
See next page for
details.
Your kids will have a blast with the various theme days and weeks, playing games, trying sports and crafting
projects. AAG will venture to Tower Road Beach every Friday for a day filled with fun in the sun. In addition to beach days, campers will be
whisked away on an enjoyable excursion every Tuesday (except the first week). A variety of locations include: water parks, Legoland, and
Pinstripes. Excursions are all-day events; children who have enrolled for AM-only need to stay for the duration of the trip and those that have
chosen PM-only need to arrive at 9:00 am for departure. There are no additional fees for these days.
Almost Anything Goes truly combines what the summer is all about: spending time inside and out doing a vast assortment of fun and unique
activities with your friends.
Campers must bring a sack lunch and water every day. There is no access to a refrigerator or microwave. You will be notified beforehand
of any excursions which provide lunch.
Children enrolled in Adventures in Learning are also welcomed to partake in Almost Anything Goes! All you need to do is register for our
afternoon session which begins immediately after AiL each day. On normal days, a WPD staff member will pick up your child from Washburne
at 12:00 pm and walk them over to Skokie School. On beach days, a bus will transport your child between camps to the beach. On excursion
days, however, parents must choose which camp they’ll be attending since the activities are all-day events, and there is no alternate form of
transportation. If your child is attending both Adventures in Learning and Camp Almost Anything Goes, please note this in your emergency
form. We also have an option for those interested in having their child at camp all day after AiL for eight weeks. This option includes five
(5) weeks of afternoons only coupled with three (3) weeks of all day camp which starts upon AiL’s conclusion.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MADNESS
Middle School Madness combines all the best aspects of summer into one enjoyably fun package. Not only
will kids love spending time at Tower Road Beach twice a week, but they will also venture on two excursions.
See below for details.
MSM typically goes to one water park (e.g. Barefoot Bay, Mystic Waters) and an additional venue (e.g. Medieval
Times, Gameworks, Action Territory) every week. In addition to the two beach days and two excursions, the
fifth day will be spent participating in a wide range of activities at our own Park District facilities including turf
sports and games, tennis, crafts, and whatever else campers and staff may come up with on any given day. The most wonderful facet about
this age group is their capabilities to create and perform more complex activities. Our staff will guide, encourage and help lead campers
on a gratifying summer filled with laughs, entertainment and energy.
Campers must bring a sack lunch and water every day. There is no access to a refrigerator, but a microwave is available for use on non-beach
and trip days. You will be notified beforehand of any excursions which provide lunch.
Even though both sessions offer comparable experiences, we encourage everyone to sign up for the full eight weeks because each session
provides a diverse set of programs at alternate destinations. This is an exciting camp for parents who want their children busily occupied
with a combination of activities over the course of the summer.

ADVENTURE CAMP
Register your child for the Winnetka Park District’s very popular Adventure Camp and prepare them for a fun and active summer. At Adventure
Camp, teamwork and cooperation are vital to the success of camp. Counselors interact closely with campers to facilitate a fun and positive
environment while stressing team-building and safety at all times.
Each week typically consists of at least a day at a beach, excursions to a water park and an additional location, and an active sports day.
Possible activities for each session include kayaking or SUPing; archery; scuba diving; trips to indoor venues housing things like arcades,
trampolines, mini golf, and laser tag; trips to the Zoo; or afternoons spent at our own Park District facilities like the tennis center and golf
course. In an age filled with digital screens, we make every effort to keep kids outdoors and as busy as possible to limit these distractions.
Campers will also need a bike as we travel to many of our destinations, including surrounding lakefronts and parks, by bike.
Campers must bring a sack lunch and water every day—there is no access to a refrigerator or microwave. You will be notified beforehand
of any excursions which provide lunch.
While both sessions offer similar experiences, we encourage everyone to sign up for all eight weeks as each session will include different
activities at a multitude of varying locations. This camp has a very limited registration and will fill quickly.

CIT + JUNIOR COUNSELORS
COUNSELORS-IN-TRAINING
The Counselors-in-Training program will give participants an experience working with children alongside other young adults in a setting for
which many may find unfamiliar. While many of the kids looking to be CiTs have knowledge and experience working with children, being a
counselor is a lot different than babysitting! CiTs will gain valuable knowledge and view first-hand the levels of responsibility and challenges
required to be a camp counselor. Not only that, but they get to have fun—it’s not all work! They will be able to lead, join in, and play games/
activities/crafts with the campers.
The first two days of camp are absolutely critical and cannot be missed. Regardless of which campsite you register for, this mandatory
orientation will run from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm at the Elder Lane Beach House (not their specific campsite). We will cover topics including
responsibilities and expectations as a counselor, children’s games, safety, and dealing with children who might be having a rough day. Basic
CPR and first aid will also be taught during this time, but CiTs will not get CPR certified. After these initial days, each CiT will then shift to
their designated camp and be placed with a counselor and group of campers to continue on-site training. At the end of the program each
CiT will be evaluated by the camp director.
Registration has changed for this program. Each specific campsite has a very limited number of spaces available (this number may flex
based on enrollment) to ensure the best possible program not just for your child, but the campers of the sites they will be attending. Please
see below for information regarding each site before registering.
Happiness Is 1
Campers are 34 months - 4 years of age.
Camp meets from 8:50 - 11:50 am.

JUNIOR COUNSELORS
Only former CiTs who have previously completed the Counselors-inTraining program are eligible to be Junior Counselors. CiTs registered
for the first session of the program this year can register for the Junior
Counselor program and simply continue on after the initial four weeks.
Previous CiTs do not need to register for the entire seven weeks. However,
to ensure the most positive experience for your child and the campers they
will be with, please indicate your proposed schedule when registering. If
possible, please refrain from selecting random dates each week and try
and remain consistent throughout the weeks registered.
Please see above for specifics regarding each campsite.

self-insured Property/Casualty to park districts, special recreation associations, and forest preserve/conservation
districts throughout Illinois. The extensive loss control review covers all aspects of the District’s operations,

the look and functionality of the site as well for other adjustments. We will continue to monitor and make
adjustments to enhance the end-users experience even after the re-launch. Our new website is expected to “go
live” in late January, early February.

any questions you may have. The concession area is open during the

foundation in the skills needed for a lifetime of golf enjoyment. As they progress, juniors will have the ability to reinforce and build on the skills
they have acquired previously. The camps provide juniors the ability to sharpen their games on the course while learning course management,
rules of the game, and etiquette, all in a positive learning environment. It is the chief goal of staff professionals and instructors that every student
enjoys their time spent at the club.

JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAM
USTA “QUICKSTART” TENNIS
The USTA QuickStart Tennis Program is utilized by the professional staff at the A.C. Nielsen Tennis Center throughout the entire junior
program (pages 49-50).
The principle of QuickStart is to get children playing quickly and appropriately through the use of modified equipment, making the court
and equipment smaller, ball slower, and considering the needs and development stages of children at different ages. Every child, regardless
of age, deserves the best possible instruction, to maximize their potential to play. Learn more about the United States Tennis Association
(USTA) and its QuickStart program online by visiting usta.com and clicking “Go Now!”
This chart will help familiarize you with the progression process. Programming is featured on pages 52-53.

doubles tennis. Each hour-long class includes a 10 minutes warmup, 40 minutes of aerobic workout, and 10 minutes of cool down.
Men and women of all tennis ability levels are welcome.
An effective workout will be achieved by all, as tennis pro

REFRIGERATED RINK AT THE POND
RENT GULLEN’S POND
Welcome to Winnetka’s refrigerated outdoor skating rink!
Now named “Gullen’s Pond” after Winnetka Ice Arena’s
beloved and retired manager, Tom Gullen, this rink is
enjoying its 5th season on the south side of the Winnetka
Ice Arena and 3rd year of refrigeration.
When other outdoor rinks are unavailable to stay open due
to warm weather, we will still be able to provide ice. Even
when the temperatures reach the 40’s, we will still have
unstructured activities such as, general skating and pick-up
hockey. All unstructured activities are FREE. The goal of this
facility is to remain unstructured with daily dedicated times.
GULLEN’S POND GUIDELINES

The rink is unsupervised. Outdoor ice has imperfections.
Like all sports and activities, ice skating can be dangerous. By visiting the rink, you are acknowledging such
and are skating at your own risk.
