A Letter from the Director

I would like to take this opportunity to give a big “shout out” to all our staff who worked so hard this past summer! We were fortunate to hire 134 seasonal staff to work in our camps, parks, programs and at the pool. Many of our staff members took on extra hours/shifts and rallied to support each other when needed.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and thanks to:

The lifeguards, slide attendants, swim instructors and pool desk attendants who worked extra shifts and attended hours of training. They kept everyone in and around the pool safe during the extreme heat and crowded times.

All of our camp staff and counselors who created a fun and positive experience for each and every camper.

Our parks crew who worked tirelessly while being short staffed, making sure our parks and facilities were ready for the season.

The fitness team who continue to offer a variety of fitness programs and memberships to help keep both our mind and bodies fit.

Our instructors who provided participants with new, creative and fun activities helping to cultivate an environment of growth and learning.

The front desk staff who processed thousands of registrations and assisted patrons with their questions. They always provide a friendly entrance with a welcoming smile and hello!

Without the staff that work at Barrington Park District, whether its full time, part time or seasonal, we could not provide the quality of life experiences that have been created and make the memories that will hopefully last a lifetime!
