Happy first day of camp! You may have noticed that construction for our circle drive has begun in front of our facility. This means that our front entrance and lobby are closed until construction finishes in August. The good news is that we are still open! Come to the entrance on the west side of the building next to the tennis courts. The door will be locked for safety reasons, but you can ring the doorbell or give us a call at 217-819-3980 for assistance.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we navigate construction this summer!
