1 PARK DISTRICT SPRING BREAK CAMP While spring break weather might not be conducive for outdoor swimming, the Bartlett Park District is offering an indoor alternative for children in kindergarten through sixth grade with its spring break camp. Beginning Monday, children can swim at the community center’s indoor pool and play games including kickball, basketball and capture the flag, said recreation supervisor Scott Falli. There also will be arts and crafts for those with nonathletic interests. The camp runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. through April 1, with an extended option to stay until 6 p.m. The cost of the camp for the week is $112. For information, call (630) 540-4831.
2 NATURE CENTER CAMPS The Bartlett Nature Center is offering Oceans Below and nature camps from March 28 through April 1. Oceans Below will allow children ages 3 to 6 to learn about sharks, whales, dolphins and other sea creatures by participating in games and crafts, said Nature Center Naturalist Dan Mitchell. It is offered from 9 a.m. to noon. Spring into Camp and Nature is for children ages 7 to 9 and involves learning about nature by playing games and making crafts from natural materials. The nature camp is offered as a half day from 9 a.m. to noon or as a full day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
3 HANOVER TOWNSHIP OPEN GYM Beginning Monday, Hanover Township is offering a free open-gym program for ages 5 to 14 at various schools in the township. Children can participate in games ranging from basketball to dodgeball and have a safe environment to hang out with their friends, said Hanover Township Outreach Services Coordinator Deanna Aister. Open gym will take place from noon to 4 p.m. each day: Monday at Bartlett Elementary School, 111 North Ave., Door No. 6, for ages 5 to 14; Tuesday at Laurel Hill Elementary, 1750 Laurel Ave., Hanover Park, for ages 5 to 14; Wednesday at Tefft Middle School, 1100 Shirley Ave., Streamwood, for ages 7 to 18; and Thursday at Lords Park Elementary, 323 Waverly Drive, Elgin, for ages 5 to 14. For information, call (630) 483-5799.
4 DISC GOLF The Bartlett Park District maintains an 18-hole disc golf course for all ages to enjoy for free. Falli said disc golf is played like traditional golf, but instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying plastic disc that’s thrown from a tee to a target area. Players want to get the disc in the hole, which is an elevated metal basket under par. The course is within Sunrise Park near Apple Tree Lane and Struckman Boulevard.
5 TAKE A HIKE The village of Bartlett offers more than 19 miles of paved pathways for families to take advantage of for hiking, biking or jogging. Mitchell said the Nature Center also is an option for families to visit during spring break to hike along its trails and to get a glimpse of the wildlife at James “Pate” Philip State Park.
