AQUATICS SCHEDULE: Due to staffing limitations, the previously scheduled Open Swim times on Wednesday and Friday evenings are being changed to Modified Open Swim for the remainder of the Winter 2 session. The primary difference is that the yellow waterslide will not be available during these times.
SPRING BREAK CHANGES: Please note the changes to the Spring Break schedule. We will only being offering open swim on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during Spring Break. If members or guests have questions about Spring Break, please direct them to GrKrocCenter.org (click the main banner on our homepage). That page has all the information regarding the schedule and includes steps on how to register for open swim times and day passes. Below are some important details:
- All activities will be free for members. Non-members may purchase a special Spring Break day pass for $12 (all ages).
- Open Swim blocks will be divided into sessions with specific start/end times, so guests will never have to worry about waiting to get into the pool. More details on the registration process can be found online here.
- Spring Break shifts are posted in Sling for any employees looking to pick up additional hours (make sure to check with your supervisor first!). We are in major need of climbing wall attendants.
GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER HOLIDAYS: Just a reminder that Good Friday, April 7th is an Admin Holiday (the building will be open normal hours that day). If a PTO-eligible employee is scheduled to work that day, they may choose to take the holiday on a different day, or they may choose to take the holiday pay on Friday in addition to their hours worked. Please coordinate with your supervisor see Melissa Roemer with any questions.
Kroc Church will have special Good Friday and Easter Services at the following times:
- Friday, April 7th: Good Friday Service (6 PM)
- Sunday, April 9th: Breakfast (9 AM), SONrise Service (9:15 AM), Worship Service (10 AM)
KROC-STRUCTION: After 12 years of serving our community, we’ll be undergoing some building improvements this spring – the biggest changes since the Kroc opened in 2010.
The highlight of our renovation project will be the addition of new locker rooms on the second floor, replacing the current restrooms and Fitness Studio C. Some additional changes you will notice:
- A new Welcome Desk area and traffic flow for check-in and check-out, increasing safety for kids in our Child Watch rooms and the south fine art/education hallway;
- A new office area for our membership team in place of the current Welcome Desk;
- A new welcome center for Kroc Church just outside the Worship and Performing Arts Center; and,
- Changes to the main guest entryway to improve energy efficiency.
Construction will begins in mid-April. The entire project is expected to take about three months. You can see images of the plans and designs on the new “Kroc-struction” page of our website. These plans will also be posted on our “Kroc Refrigerator” just inside the check-in gates.
CAMP KROC STAFF DISCOUNT: We will again be offering a 50% staff discount for Camp Kroc this summer!
