Special Recreation of Joliet &
Channahon (SRJC)
Special Recreation of Joliet & Channahon (SRJC) is a cooperative extension of the Joliet and Channahon Park Districts, which provides year-round recreation activities for individuals who wish to participate in alternative Park District programs. These programs are designed to help participants who have physical or mental disabilities, sensory impairments, or any other type of disability, to develop leisure skills, independent living skills, and motor skills.
Inclusion
The Joliet Park District supports the rights of people with special needs to participate in any program. An adult or child must adhere to the guidelines of that particular program. The Joliet Park District believes that all members of the community are entitled to have equal leisure opportunities. For information on the inclusion process, please contact SRJC at 815-741-7275 ext. 175. Any accommodations and expectations will be discussed prior to the start of
a program.

desire to work with special needs individuals. If you would like to be a part of our team, please contact SRJC at 815-741-7275 ext. 160.
We are excited to announce a gradual return to Limited In-Person programming!
Because safety of participants and staff is our number one responsibility , all in-person programs will have enhanced essential eligibility requirements in order
to comply with state and federal COVID-19 regulations. We understand that our initial in-person offerings
will only serve a percentage of all who want to return to programs. We intend to ease restrictions as governmental regulations change based on state progress through the Governor’s plan.
