Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Fishing & Hunting, Sports
Mission: The prairie club, founded in 1908, encourages the love of nature and participation in outdoor recreation by providing facilities and activities that allow members and guests the opportunity to experience the great outdoors. We foster a sense of community, the appreciation of the beauty of nature, and the importance of environmental conservation through the maintenance and programs of our two permanent camps, hazelhurst and spring grove.
Programs: 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 outdoor activities listed with the first camp as well as fishing. Maintaining these 2 program camps is our largest expense.
a group of club members kayaked the galien river near camp hazelhurst, afterwards a pot luck dinner was served, some members stayed overnight at the farmhouse and the following day was spent hiking the camp grounds.
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 local flora and are always glad to share their stories and findings with other club members.
