Reminder: The Kroc Center is CLOSED on Memorial Day (Monday, May 27).
School Event Season is Here: We are in the peak of our school event season, both with all-night parties and daytime field trips.
- The all-night graduation parties are kept a secret from the students. Do NOT share the names of any of the schools that are attending.
- Overnight events will disrupt the normal night cleaning crew, so we all need to pitch in and keep areas looking good.
- Daytime school groups will cause some changes to pool and other rec schedules. We will be posting these for members as needed.
We appreciate the patience and teamwork of all our Kroc Krew during this busy time of year!
Camp Kroc Staff Pricing: We are excited to announce that Kroc staff members will receive special pricing for Camp Kroc 2019!
Pricing for camp is $85 dollars per week for Camp Kroc (extended care is included for no extra charge). To register, please complete a registration form and return to the Welcome Desk to register. Staff must register in person Monday – Friday from 9am to 5pm. Unfortunately, staff are unable to register for camp outside of these times or online. Payment is due at the time of registration. Also, on the registration form please be sure to indicate the exact dates you plan to attend and if you will be using extended care. Finally, please make special note that due to capacity issues, we are unable to reserve spots for staff children if payment has not been made.
We hope that your children will be able to join us this summer. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak directly to Jessica Pollins.
Father’s Day at the Kroc: Similar to the Mother’s Day event we held on May 11, we’re giving families an easy and fun way to spend time together just before the Father’s Day holiday on Saturday, June 15 from 1-6pm. The event is FREE for Kroc members and includes all recreation access plus a pizza dinner. Pool & Play Pass holders can attend for $5 per person, and non-members are $10 per person. Find details and a link to register on the Events page at GrKrocCenter.org.
World’s Largest Swim Lesson: Join the Kroc Center, along with aquatics facilities around the world, for this FREE one-hour introduction to water safety and skills. We’ll hold the event on Thursday, June 20 at 11am. Registration in advance is required. Find details and a link to register on the Events page at GrKrocCenter.org.
Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples from the past week:
- “Albert was very helpful in taking a guest to see the Fireside Hall when she was here to check out rental space.”
- “Hilda and Joselyn did a great job with a customer who had definitely not enrolled in a class but insisted on trying to convince her friends that she had.”
- “Amy and Rosie handling a customer service issue at the Welcome Desk. We were able to resolve.”
