First 5 – Week of July 17, 2023

KROC KREW BBQ THIS THURSDAY: Mark your calendar for our upcoming Backyard BBQs on July 20 and August 17!  All Backyard BBQs will take place from 12-1pm under the fitness floor balcony. We’ll be sure to save some food for the evening staff as well. Thanks to our friends on the EAT Committee for organizing these summer events!

CAMP KROC ITEMS NEEDED: The Camp Kroc team is in need of the following items for art projects, if you are able to bring them in… Newspapers for the week of July 24, and recycled cardboard (boxes, paper towel/TP tubes, etc.) for the week of July 31. Thanks for your help!

KROC BLOCK PARTY: We’re just over a month away from the end-of-summer Kroc Block Party on Friday, August 18! A big part of the fun is having local organizations host tables to introduce our neighbors to their resources. If you know of an organization that would be a good fit for the event, please send contact information to Jon Shaner.

KROC-STRUCTION: Progress continues on our renovations to upgrade second-floor restrooms to full locker rooms and reconfigure the lobby. The new membership office area is starting to come together, and we tentatively anticipate the locker rooms will open to the public either late this week or early next week. Watch for more updates soon!

NEW PROGRAM & REC GUIDES: The deadline to register for Summer 2 programs is Tuesday, July 18th. This is the last week of the Summer 1 program/rec session, and new guides will be available late this week.

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: Lifeguard; Child Watch Attendant; Welcome Desk Attendant.


Send an email to RJ Kroc if you see someone going above and beyond for our guests! Here are some examples observed recently:

  • Jessica Viau did an awesome job filling in for Alyson Rodriguez while she was on vacation. 
  • Lots of members have been using the splash pad this summer and have been happy to see it back up and running. 
  • The Welcome Desk continues to stay positive and has been very flexible while adjusting to the new Welcome Desk and lobby construction.
