Day Pass Pricing Changes: As you may have already seen posted, we will soon be changing the structure of our day pass pricing. As of next Monday (March 9), we will be splitting up what has been the ‘adult’ age group into ‘adults’ (ages 18+) and ‘teens’ (ages 12-17). Youth day passes will still be for ages 0-11. These changes will reduce the cost of day passes for teens while increasing prices for others. The new prices will be:
- Adults (18+): $9.00
- Teens (12-17): $8.00
- Youth (0-11): $7.00
Special thanks to our Welcome Desk leads and a few other staff members for providing valuable input that guided this process.
GRKids Summer Camps & Fun Fair: Sunday, March 15, will be the 3rd annual Summer Camps & Fun Fair, presented by GRKids.com. It’s a great opportunity to bring families into the Kroc Center — surveys show that a good number of our Camp Kroc families learn about it at this event. Due to the expected attendance, all Kroc Krew working during the afternoon of the 15th need to park in the back (east) lot.
AYSO Spring Registration: Do you know a child who wants to try soccer for the first time? Dick’s Sporting Goods is partnering with our AYSO Region 1634 to help out. This spring, any kid brand new to soccer will get a certificate for a free soccer ball, shoes, and shinguards at Dick’s. Registration ends March 15 — Please see Bram Roberts if you have any questions.
Membership promotion: Our membership offer continues through the month of March! New members can receive 6 for 5: Get one month free when you pay for six months of a new Kroc membership – plus, half off the registration fee. Or, get TWO months free when you pay upfront for a full year – and we’ll waive the registration fee.
WPAC Flooring: This week, the existing carpet is being removed from the WPAC, with a new vinyl plank flooring being installed (similar to what is now in Fireside Hall). If you are interested in any of the old carpet squares, or some of our ‘attic stock’ of new squares, please see Brent Wilcoxson.
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:
- “Hanna at the climbing wall and Jess from game room working with the game room kids, providing them an opportunity to get some physical activity.”
- “Thanks to the willingness of Jason Rysdyk, the birthday party went on without a hitch. He stepped up as a last-minute call-in.”
Here are some of the upcoming events and groups at the Kroc Center:
- GR Griffins Youth Foundation: Friday 6-9pm, Fireside C/D/E & Open Rec Areas
- Private Party: Saturday 10am-3pm, Fireside A/B
