First 5 – Week of June 24, 2024

“5-DAY CLUB” VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: Kroc Church is hosting a Bible school presented by Child Evangelism Fellowship this week (June 24-28) from 1:30-3:00pm daily. It is designed for kids ages 5-12 and preregistration is not required. Parents can drop kids off, or stay and observe the program as well. Please direct any questions to Captain Jack Huffman or Kevin Manning.

EMPLOYEE REFERRAL PROGRAM: Our employee referral bonus program ends on June 30! Current Kroc Krew members can get $200 for referring someone new (assuming they are hired and work a minimum amount in their first 90 days). You must use the ADP portal to make the referral; please see Melissa Roemer if you have any questions.

REFER-A-FRIEND: This is also the last week that members can also receive a free month by recommending a friend to join the Kroc Center during the month of June. Spread the word! See the Welcome Desk or the membership page at GrKrocCenter.org for additional details.

DOUBLE DOG DAYS: Our next summer promotion will start on July 1 and is called “Double Dog Days” (a reference to the ‘dog days’ of summer… we aren’t allowing dogs in the building!) Guests who purchase a day pass during the month of July will receive a coupon for a free pass of the same type (adult/child) to come back during the month of August. Our goal is to boost day pass sales and building utilization during a typically slower time of year. Please see Lisa Van Dyk or Jon Shaner with any questions.

UPCOMING HOLIDAYS: Next Thursday, July 4, is a federal holiday and the Kroc Center will be CLOSED. The following day, Friday, July 5, is an administrative holiday –the Kroc Center is open, but there is no Camp Kroc programming that day.

OPEN POSITIONS: Visit the Central Territory’s ADP Recruitment system for all job postings and to submit applications online. We appreciate you sharing opportunities with friends and family! Current openings include: Fitness Attendant, Lifeguard, Youth Ministry and Mission Specialist, Building Supervisor (PT), Child Watch Attendant, Summer Day Camp Counselor (FT), Summer Day Camp Counselor (PT), Personal Trainer.


Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests!

    • Kevin Chilton helped rearrange kids in Child Watch to accommodate a new member family who had walked in without a reservation.
    • Ann Talen filled in teaching a group exercise class so we didn’t have to use the Les Mills virtual version.
    • Chris Reinsma was given a shoutout for the positive, energetic environment created during Drum Fit class.

Here are some of the upcoming events and groups at the Kroc Center: 

  • Bethany Christian Services: Wednesday, 11:30am-3pm, Slip & Slide Hill
  • Lobos Soccer: Saturday & Sunday, Outdoor Fields

Each week, members of the Kroc Center and Kroc Church submit a number of requests for prayer. We welcome these from everyone in our community, and encourage all our Kroc Krew to lift up these requests in your own way. Don’t forget that you are always welcome to attend devotions on Tuesday mornings at 9am in the Green Room; if you have a prayer request to share, you can post it on the board in the lobby, use the online form, or contact a member of the Kroc Church team.

  • Please continue praying for a number of Kroc Center employees and their families who are dealing with illness, family stress, and other difficult situations.

Be sure to wish a Happy Birthday to our Kroc Krew colleagues: 

  • Wynter Gardner – June 25
  • Jim Zoetewey – June 26
