Summer should be spent having fun, being active and enjoying the beautiful weather, not spent playing video games and sleeping until noon. Our 9 weeks of summer camp are jam packed with fun. During these 9 weeks your child will have the opportunity to play, learn new games, work on craft projects, participate in athletics, go on field trips, and enjoy an hour of recreational swimming. All of this while making new friends. If it’s fun you are after, look no further-this is the camp is for you!

Those participating in recreational swim must be able to stand in 42” of water and need to bring a swimming suit and towel. Any camper wishing to swim in the deep end must pass a swim test administered by our certified lifeguards. To learn more, please read our Fun Camp Parent Guide and Handbook found on-line at www.smrecdept.org. Our team is also available to answer your ques-tions by phone at 414-766-5081 or 414-766-5932.

FREE LUNCH will be served beginning at NOON from Tuesday, June 22—August 6 in the High School Cafeteria. Lunch WILL NOT be provided during Camp #1 and Camp #9 and on Monday, June 21.

If your child is a returning or a new camper, you may have some ques-tions. Whatever the case may be, we would be delighted to have you ask us questions to gain a better understanding of the program. You may register online (www.smrecdept.org), by mail, or in person at the Rec-reation Department. Call us at 766-5081 or 766-5932 for more information.

4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME — WATCH FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE CITY

The City of South Milwaukee is not in the position to make a decision about the July 4th Celebration in time for this publication. At this point,

it is doubtful we will have a program similar to our previous events. With our desire to abide by health guidance, it is hard to see how this

event will happen, but we are optimistic, and hoping things will change. Also, the county is not considering summer permitting re-

quests at this point. Watch for more information!

Watch For: BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CARE

2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR Registration Begins June 21st, 2021

South Milwaukee School District works diligently to provide as many resources and services as possible to parents. One of these services is before and after school care directly at your child's elementary school! Before School: Early Adventures (All 4 Schools)

7:00 am - 8:30 am Available Monday-Friday when school is in session

About Before and After School Care Students will have a healthy snack, engage in dy-namic fitness activities, have a chance to complete their homework, and build a community of friends from their school! Most days children will spend time outdoors on the playground or in the gymnasium (weather permit-ting on the day). There will also be time for guided activities and projects, as well as time for students to self-navigate. While getting homework done is not necessarily required, homework assistance is available and quiet time is set aside for students to choose between homework, reading, and quiet ac-tivities. Staff will be sensitive and flexible to meet the needs of parents, as well as to meet both the physical and emotional needs of the children.

South Milwaukee Recreation Department School Year: 2021-2022

Return this form to the Recreation Department Office — Questions: 414-766-5081

Parent & Athlete Concussion Information Sheet Reformatted from the Center for Disease Control’s Heads Up Concussion in Youth Sports Program.

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even a “ding,” “getting your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury. If an athlete reports one or more symptoms of concussion listed below after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body, s/he must be kept out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom free and it’s OK to return to play.

Symptoms Reported by Athletes • Headaches or “pressure” in the head • Nausea or vomiting • Balance problems or dizziness • Double or blurry vision • Sensitivity to noise or light • Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or groggy • Concentration or memory problems • Confusion • Just not “feeling right”

Signs Observed by Parents/Others • Appears dazed or stunned • Is confused about assignment or position • Forgets an instruction • Is unsure of game, score, or opponent • Moves clumsily • Answers questions slowly • Loses consciousness (even briefly) • Mood, behavior, or personality changes • Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall • Can’t recall events after to hit or fall

CONCUSSION DANGER SIGNS In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on the brain in a person with a concussion and crowd the brain against the skull. An athlete should receive immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body s/he exhibits any of the following danger signs:

One pupil larger than the other

Is drowsy or cannot be awakened

A headache that not only does not diminish, but gets worse

Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination

Repeated vomiting or nausea

Slurred speech

Convulsions or seizures

Cannot recognize people or places

Becomes increasingly confused, restless, or agitated

Has unusual behavior

Loses consciousness (even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously)

WHY SHOULD AN ATHLETE REPORT THEIR SYMPTOMS? If an athlete has a concussion, his/her brain needs time to heal. While an athlete’s brain is still healing s/he is much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the time it takes to recover. In rare cases, repeat concussions in young athletes can result in brain swelling or permanent damage to their brain. They can even be fatal.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOUR ATHLETE HAS A CONCUSSION? If you suspect that an athlete has a concussion, remove the athlete from play and seek medical attention. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play. Rest is key to helping an athlete recover from a concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a lot of concentration, such as studying, working on the computer, or playing video games, may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse. After a concussion, returning to sports and school is a gradual process that should be carefully managed and monitored by a health care professional.

PARENT/GUARDIAN AGREEMENT STATEMENT I have read and fully understand this information sheet regarding concussions and I agree that if it appears that my child may have sustained a concussion or head injury that he/she is to be removed from any program activity until such time that a trained medical professional can examine him/her and approve their return to play In the activity, pursuant to Section 118.293 Wisconsin Statutes relating to concussions and other head injuries. In such case, I understand that I am to provide a written clearance from a trained medical professional for my child to return to play in the activity.

FITNESS CENTER

MEET OUR FITNESS CENTER MANAGER Greetings, As the new Fitness Center Manager, I want to share a little background about myself for anyone I have or have yet to meet. Oak Creek has been home to me for my entire life. My par-ents, Greg and Marlene, are both from Wisconsin and have

been married over 40 years. Alongside my older brother Travis, I grew up in a household centered on faith, family, and baseball. My work career began in 2009 when I had the privilege of working as a bat-boy for the Milwaukee Brewers alongside my brother, who has been with the organization for 15 years and counting. He is currently the Minor League Clubhouse Manager at their Spring Training facility in Maryvale, Arizona. All the way from Parks and Rec T-ball to D3 Basketball at Carthage College, and minor league baseball games every summer to working for the Milwau-kee Brewers, my life has revolved around sports and being active. My desire to be a part of the Fitness industry began with my brother’s transformation story. He worked with a personal trainer that helped him achieve over 80 pounds of weight loss. I became inspired to change lives through exercise after seeing the positive impact it had on his life. My own transformation started in 2011 when I began lifting weights following my final season of col-legiate basketball. Having the opposite problem of not being able to gain weight, I was also motivated to gain what he lost (not literally). During my final year of schooling in 2014, I started my first internship here at the South Milwaukee Fitness Center. After graduating from UW-Parkside with an Exercise Science degree, I became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association in 2014. One month later, I began working at the Wisconsin Athletic Club Downtown in a num-ber of different roles from Front Desk Attendant, Personal Trainer, to Sales Associ-ate over the course of six years before return-ing to the South Milwaukee Fitness Center in July of 2020. Just six years after my first in-ternship, things have come full circle as I now have the opportunity of being Manager where it all started. Adam Voss

Participants must reach the designat-ed age by the first day of class. Pre-registration for all programs is required. Complete a registration form, including signature, and feel free to photocopy extra forms if necessary. You will not be sent a receipt - this is your confirmation notice. You may register for many of our programs online at www.smrecdept.org. Some programs are not offered online. CONFIRMATION NOTICES Your receipt is your confirmation. You will not receive additional confirmation of program registration. Please provide an email address for receipt to be sent to or if you prefer to have it US mailed, you will need to include a self-addressed stamped envelop with your registration. ON-SITE REGISTRATION Instructors will not accept registrations or payments at program locations. All registration transactions must be completed at the recreation office prior to scheduled program. LATE REGISTRATION There is no pro-rating of programs for late registration after programs have begun. For some programs a late fee is charged. RETURN CHECKS-NSF’S If your check is returned to us for non-sufficient funds, you will be contacted. You must then pay for the class in cash and you will be assessed a bank fee of $15 per check. PICTURES & PHOTOGRAPHS Please note that when you register for a program you are also agreeing to allow publi-cation of any photos taken of you or the enrolled participant at any program, event, or facility sponsored by the South Milwaukee Recreation Department. PROGRAM CHANGES Program times, instructors, locations, fees are subject to change. CLASSES CANCELLED Those are the words we don’t want to say, but it happens when everyone waits until the last mi-nute to sign up. If there are not enough registrants the class will be cancelled. If you see something you like, sign up early. It’s the only way we know if the class will go! Thanks for your cooperation! MISSED PROGRAM POLICY Programs missed for individuals absences (i.e. illness, vacation, etc.) are not made up. Participants may not attend programs other than the one they are registered. REFUND POLICY Once a program begins, refunds will not be given unless the Recreation Department cancels the program. If you need to cancel once the class begins due to an illness or injury, contact the Recreation Department immediately. Documentation must be provided to receive a pro-rated refund. A $5.00 service fee will be charged for each refund requested. Refunds will take approximately three to four weeks to process. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Those in need of financial assistance should contact the Recreation Department in order that necessary arrangements may be made. As a general rule, those participating in the reduced or free hot lunch pro-gram may qualify for a 25% reduced program fees. This does not apply to all programs. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES While volunteering is a great way to have a meaningful, positive impact on your com-munity, it’s also a great opportunity for you to gain valuable life experience and skills while meeting interesting people. No matter what your skills, we can use your talents to help others. Please contact the Recreation Department. We will be happy to assist you in connecting with the right volunteer opportunity.
