2. MANAGEMENT PLAN
How you can help...
Your cooperation and support is important to
the restoration of our beautiful landscape. We offer
many volunteer opportunities at all times of the
year. Another way you can help is by sharing this
information with your neighbors and telling them to
call us with any questions or concerns.
We invite you to take part in our outdoor education
programs run by our Prairie Grass Nature Museum.
We encourage everyone to learn about the
role nature plays in our lives and the importance of
protecting it through conservation. By taking part
in these programs, we insure the integrity of our
landscape and the safety and health of all for
generations to come.

5. Summer Camp 2007
Welcome!
For nearly 80 years, the Skokie Park District has provided summer camps that focus on adventure, friendship, fun,
exploration, discovery and safety. In 2007, the district’s summer camp program promises to offer yet another exciting
experience for the children of Skokie!
Whether your child’s interests lie in sports, art, theater, or outdoor adventure, the Skokie Park District offers a wide
range of programs to make your child’s summer a memorable one. We also are proud to continue to offer special
services (see pages 3 and 10) that will meet your families’ needs. Perhaps our camp program’s greatest resource is its
highly trained staff. This group of warm, dedicated and enthusiastic parents, educators, coaches, and college students are
experts at nurturing and motivating campers of all ages.
The Skokie Park District is one of only 20 park districts in the nation to be accredited by the American Camping Association. This nationally-recognized
program, developed exclusively for the camp industry, focuses on program quality and health and safety issues, and requires the district to review every facet
of our day camp operations on an annual basis. We have voluntarily submitted to this independent audit by camp experts and have again earned this national
mark of distinction.
In addition to its wonderful staff and national recognition, Skokie Park District summer camps also offer the following opportunities for your child:
• making new friends • promoting an active and healthy lifestyle
• gaining self-confidence • improving swimming skills
• learning new skills • exploring the outdoors, and
• fun-filled days and nights • increasing self-esteem.
• great exercise
We hope that you can take the time to look through this guide — and find camps that fit the individual needs of your child and your family. On Wednesday,
January 17, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Oakton Community Center, our programmers will be available at the district’s Annual Summer Camp Open House,
to discuss your child’s needs. Please feel free to join us that evening, eleven days prior to the first day of registration.
Again, we look forward to serving your family this summer!
