First 5 – Week of February 27, 2023

THE CAMP GUIDE IS READY! The Summer Day Camp Guide will be available in the next few days at the Welcome Desk and online at GrKrocCenter.org. Below are some additional things you should be aware of, as we have already started getting some questions:

  • Specialty Camps (half-day camps for specific activities) will be returning this summer, and have a separate guide. That guide will also be available at the Welcome Desk and online. 
  • Camp scholarship applications are now available online and at the Welcome Desk. The deadline to apply for a camp scholarship is May 1. 
  • Registration for all camps will run through Club Automation (like the rest of our programs). Registration will open on March 1.
  • Positions are already posted for Day Camp Counselors – see ’employment news’ below for a link.

MARCH MOVES: Get MOVE-ing in March with a new fitness challenge! All members who track their workouts in the myKroc Wellness mobile app will be eligible to participate in the March MOVEs challenge – the top male and female users in three different age groups will win cool prizes. Stop by the Fitness Desk for more information!

GLOW PARTY: Join us for a Cycle-delic Zumba Glow Party on Friday, March 10th from 6–7:45pm. Be immersed in American and Latin rhythms, surrounded by black lights and club lights for a night of hip shaking, laughter, dancing, cycle, and glowing! Wear white or neon to glint, glimmer, sparkle, or shimmer back into the 80’s/90s. We will provide light snacks, glowing jewelry, great music, and fun. Check out the event online here.

TIME CARDS: Due to the weather closure on Wednesday, supervisors will be correcting time cards for any employees who were scheduled to work past 3pm. If you were scheduled to work Wednesday afternoon/evening, you’ll have those hours added to your time card.  

CHILI COOKOFF WINNER: Congrats to Major Carol who was the winner of our Chili/Soup Cook Off!! Margarita and Joselyn also made some awesome chili and tied for second place. Thank you to everyone who submitted a soup or chili. All the entries were delicious!

Current openings include: Accounting Specialist; Group Exercise Instructor; Personal Trainer; Swim Instructor; Lifeguard; Day Camp Counselor; Fitness Lead (part-time)
