Park district notes
From Roy Logan, program coordinator

[July 31, 2014]  Art Camp kicks off on Monday, July 14 - Join Jodi Phillips, art instructor, for a fun week and tap into your creative side! If you enjoy drawing, painting and creating then this camp is just for you. Art Camp will explore using a variety of materials and techniques in watercolors, acrylics, oil pastels and much more. This camp is designed for kids to have fun while creating awesome art pieces. No experience is needed and all materials are provided. Classes are planned to be divided by grades the participants are entering this fall. Wear old clothes because sometimes an artist can get a little messy!

Walking program starts July 14

Jacki Pavlik, Fitness Director for the Park District is offering a walking program. Starting on Monday, July 14 through Friday, July 25 track your miles 2B FIT. How many miles can you walk in two weeks? Track your miles each week on our Wellness Walk board in the Aerobic Studio. Walk on the treadmill, the indoor courts or outside. Walk with a friend or family member. Anyone is encouraged to participate. Non-members must pay the daily fee to walk on the courts or use circuit equipment. Prizes will be awarded to the top three participants with the highest mileage. Many smart phones offer free Pedometer apps you can download to track your miles. Eight laps around the Lincoln Park District indoor court is a mile. Mileage is based on the honor system. Have fun and WALK 2B FIT!
