The Village of Lake Zurich is a cooperative member agency
of the Special Recreation Association of Central Lake
County. SRACLC provides community based therapeutic
recreation programs and services to people of all ages with
disabilities or special needs.
SRACLC is a cooperative effort of the Grayslake, Vernon
Hills, and Mundelein Park Districts and the Villages of

Individuals residing within the boundaries of the Member

opportunity by providing an extra staff, if deemed
necessary, behavior management support, disability
awareness training, and other adaptive services necessary
for safe and successful participation.
