Limited Team Spots Still Available for Forts on the Courts

an epic cardboard fort building battle at the Crystal Lake Park District Racket Club

The Crystal Lake Park District Racket Club introduced its first Fort Building battle in March 2017 which turned out to be a great success! Teams made up of family and friends are given three sheets of cardboard (96 w x 48 h) and one roll of duct tape to design and build a fort of their choice. Additional materials are allowed to finish the masterpiece. This battle combines quality time, team work and creativity to ultimate heights. Prizes will be awarded to the three favorite forts. A complimentary ice cream bar from Baskin Robbins Crystal Lake finishes off a fort-astic March evening!"
