Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

AS DESCRIBED IN OUR MISSION STATEMENT, THE PRAIRIE CLUB PROMOTES THE ENJOYMENT OF NATURE AND THE GREAT OUTDOORS BY MAINTAINING TWO CAMPS. WITHIN ONE OF THE CAMPS ARE FOUR FACILITIES THAT CLUB MEMBERS CAN USE FOR A FEE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIKING, BIKING, BOATING AND OTHER WATER SPORTS AT THE CAMP. THE SECOND CAMP MAINTAINS SEVERAL TRAILER SITES AND A LODGE FOR MEMBERS TO USE FOR A FEE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE ACTIVITIES LISTED WITH THE FIRST CAMP AS WELL AS FISHING. MAINTENANCE OF THESE TWO CAMPS IS OUR LARGEST EXPENSE.

Program 2

THE HAZELHURST CAMP HAS 94 COTTAGES IN ADDITION TO THE THREE RENTAL FACILITIES. SPRING GROVE HAS 26 SITES IN ADDITION TO THE LODGE RENTAL FACILITY. CLUB ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MONDAY MORNING COFFEE, AN ICE-CREAM SOCIAL, A TALENT SHOW, SQUARE DANCING AND JR. CLUBHOUSE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS.

Program 3

THE PRAIRIE CLUB HAS TWO ACTIVE GROUPS WHO WALK ON VARIOUS SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS. THE GROUP OFTEN WALKS IN ONE OF THE TWO PRAIRIE CLUB CAMPS. BUT SOMETIMES, THEY VENTURE OUT INTO ONE OF THE ILLINOIS FOREST PRESERVES OR OTHER SITES WHERE NATURE IS WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED. THEY HAVE BECOME KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE LOCAL FLORA AND ARE ALWAYS GLAD TO SHARE THEIR STORIES AND FINDINGS WITH OTHER CLUB MEMBERS.
