The theatre will be closed for several months starting in June through early fall. Programs Officers of the Board
will be relocated during this time. Come watch our progress! Guy C. Hall, Attorney

RESIDENT/NON-RESIDENT (R/NR) FEES

Residents living within the boundaries of the Park District regularly support park facilities and programs through property taxes.
People living within the Champaign and Urbana Park District boundaries pay the “resident (R)” fee. Persons residing outside these
districts pay 50% more than the resident rates – “non-resident (NR)”. Tennis Center program fees are not determined by resi-
dency, but by purchase of a Tennis Center membership. If you are not a member, you may participate by paying the guest fee.

Summer Camps
PAYMENT INFORMATION
Although the cost of attending any Champaign Park District camp is affordable, we under-
stand that, at times, it is difficult to pay all costs up front. Because of this, we require at least
a $10 non-refundable deposit per child per session to hold a spot. The remainder will be due
two weeks before camp begins.
Day Camp Cancellation/Refund Policy: A chance to cancel from an all day camp without
paying more than the required deposit will only be given through five (5) business days
before the start of the session. After that, the full fee will be charged to the participant and
the spot in the class will be opened to those on the waiting list.
During the initial registration, if you sign up for multiple weeks*, you will receive a $10
discount on any week after the first week per child. *Only good for Leonhard Day Camp and
Creative Kids.

Because some residents are unable to participate in recreation programs due to economic
hardship, the Champaign Park District offers scholarships to reduce certain fees and
charges.

An Opportunity To Leave a Legacy

Please give us your input.
Many people have asked “why the need for a foundation if the park district is tax
supported?” The answer is simple. If we are going to continue providing the same
level of excellence that Champaign residents have come to know and expect, then
donations are needed as tax dollars will no longer cover the same level of services. In
fact, without grants and donations, many programs and services may have to be cut.
To further explain, in 1991, tax levies were capped for special non-home rule districts BOARD OF DIRECTORS
like school districts and park districts. The law provides capped limits for any tax Arthur J. Thoma, Jr., Chair
levied by the park district restricting the levy to whichever is smaller, the CPI or 5%. Penn Nelson, Vice Chair
