First 5 – Week of February 18, 2019

Camp Kroc Registration is Open! Grab a copy of the Summer 2019 camp guide, available now. Registration is open online or at the Welcome Desk. People registering before March 17 can lock in last year’s prices on Camp Kroc and Before/After Care! We’ve also added a number of new specialty camps. It’s never too early to start thinking about summer!

Day Pass & Membership Rate Change: As of February 15, all day pass prices increased by $1. This is the first day pass rate change since 2011. In March, single adult membership rates will also increase by $2 per month. Information about the details and reasons for these increases have been sent to all departments for reference. Please read over this document so we are better able to answer questions from members and guests.

Toddler Tuesday Program Preview: This Tuesday the 19th will be an opportunity for families to sample several programs especially for little ones and sign up. This event is free for members; while day pass prices are increasing, an adult can still get in free with each paid child admission ($6.50).

Youth Gospel Choir: This Friday (2/22) at 5pm is the first informational meeting for the Kroc’s new Youth Gospel Choir. This is a free program for kids ages 10 to 17. Anyone interested should contact Chris Reinsma or Alyson Rodriguez.

Parking Notice: Next Saturday’s West Michigan Environmental Action event is expected to bring in about 250 people. All staff will need to park in the east (back) lot if your shift falls between 12-5pm.
