Project Description

The 120,000 sq. ft. Camden Kroc Center is located on an 85-acre remediated landfill. While the center is open to all, it was Mrs. Kroc’s greatest hope that it would help young people to realize their potential through an offering of varied programs and opportunities. Thus, the center includes a full size gymnasium, an indoor competition pool and water park, black box theater, community gathering plaza, media center, learning center, culinary arts teaching kitchen, choice food pantry, early childhood education center, teen center, senior center, athletic fields, health clinic and more.
