Days mix STEM, performing and visual arts, sports, outdoor environmental education, games, special events and field trips, alongside devotion and character development - the center states a goal of helping campers reach their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential. Before care (6-9am) and after care (3-6pm) are available for $50 per week each, and camp is priced per week with a lower member rate. Registration is in person at the Kroc Center Welcome Desk; online payment is not available. The 150,000+ sq ft center around it holds an indoor water park, a six-lane competition pool, a four-court gymnasium, music and dance studios, a performing arts theater and a worship center.

★★★★★Lydia RileyThis is also a CHURCH. AWESOME BLACK HISTORY worship service in unique setting for the occasion. We praised and worshiped God, paid tribute to Black hero and sheros had individuals come to the alter topped off with an awesome meal and fellowship. The Kroc Center also offers so much more swimming, work outs, classes, kid programs. Really great facility and a great place for Family time together. Seniors programs. Plenty of parking.
★★★★★SouthlandLove this track! I’m not a runner and don’t want to tear up my knees. This track has some nice spring, it’s clean, and has wonderful people that usually come. There is ample parking and it is easy to bike to. Beware, the wind will give you a little resistance.
