Record-Breaking Enrollment
We’re thrilled to share that over 90 young people have signed up this year, with an average of 77 members walking through the doors each day. The energy is contagious, and every room—from the gym to the computer lab—is alive with activity.

New This Summer
Nike Team-Building Days
Thanks to our friends at Nike Factory Stores in Oakbrook and Rosemont, members now enjoy expanded team-building sessions. Nike volunteers jump into pickup games, mentor budding athletes, and model leadership both on and off the court.
SNAG Golf
We’ve rolled out Starting New at Golf (SNAG)—a fun, kid-friendly introduction to the sport. Foam clubs, snag-sticky targets, and bright-colored balls make learning easy (and safe!). Early verdict? A hole-in-one.
Looking Ahead
- Field Trips: From museums to adventure parks, our calendar is filling fast.
- Family Swim Nights: Bring your swimsuit—parents and siblings welcome!
- Friday Fellowship Food Challenge: Local businesses compete (friendly rivalry style) to serve up the tastiest treats.
