IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 2025-2025 SCHOOL YEAR
To enhance our facilities and provide an even better experience for your children, we will be undertaking a full renovation of the JWA Club. This transformative project will allow us to create a more vibrant, modern, safe, and engaging space for all our members. To allow time for the renovation to be completed, the JWA Club will be temporarily closed for the second half of the upcoming school year, from January through May.
During this period, for those members registered for transportation, your child will be bussed directly from school to our Lake Station Club each day, ensuring a smooth and safe journey. Transportation will be provided at no cost for this temporary period, though registration for this service will be required. To help families during this transition, we are also reducing our membership fee from $50 to $30.
Parents will need to pick up their children from our Lake Station Club, located at 2460 Vermillion Street in Lake Station. The Lake Station Club is less than 9 miles from our Gary Club, making it a convenient alternative. As always, please remember that only authorized adults will be permitted to pick up members, and a photo ID will be required for security.
We are excited for the completion of these renovations, and we anticipate the JWA Club will reopen for our summer program in 2026, ready to welcome your children to a brand new, inspiring environment. If you have any questions, please call the Club at (219) 885-5501 or visit the front desk.
Transportation
Starting this fall in the school year, we will transport members from school to the Club. Transportation fees are $30 per child.
