Annual Water Park Trip
Hurricane Harbor
Start: 9:00 AM
End: 7:00 PM
(estimated)
The Sharks are bringing back the Frog's annual water park trip! Admission tickets for swimmers will be compliments of the Parent Club. Due to an unexpected jump in group ticket prices for whatever reason, the Parent Club will not be able to pay for admission for driver parents. Parents and siblings will need to purchase their own admission. You can Zelle Karyn Regan 630-453-1515 if you want to take advantage of our tiny group rate discount ($32 vs $35). It may be possible for the Parent Club to cover parking for drivers who transport two or more swimmers from other families. Please RSVP regardless of whether or not you choose to attend, and describe your family's situation on a survey found here, as to Six Flags passes/memberships and transportation. We don't want to order more tickets than we need, and if we distribute parking pass holders out wisely, we can cut down on costs significantly. Hurricane Harbor does not accept cash. If your swimmer is attending without access to a credit/debit card, there are cash to debit card kiosks available on site, or you can contact John Regan: [email protected] / 630-453-1515 to make other arrangements. We will meet at the pool at 9:30am, and leave no later than 10:00am. Park closes at 6:00pm so will return by approx. 7:00pm at the pool for those swimmers who need to be picked up. |

After that, parents are welcome to join the kids in the pool! Maybe even a little karaoke, who knows? Sharks must begin to take down and clean-up at 8:30. Everyone has to exit before 9:00pm.
