Interested in Joining Deercreek Recreation Club? Membership Profile People choose to join our recreation club for a variety of reasons.  Some are looking for a great place to fish, others enjoy camping and swimming.  We also have a variety of shooting sports including deer hunting (bow and slug), waterfowl hunting, 3D archery, and trap shooting.  We have singles, young families, second and third generation club members, and senior citizens. How to apply? First, we recommend that you visit us and tour our facility at which time we can learn more about your interests and the benefits you would like to receive from the club.   As a members only club, we restrict access to our property so you will need to meet with one of our directors before you come to make sure someone will be available to welcome you.  Send an e-mail to membership@deercreekrecclub.com  or leave a message on the club phone at 815-436-8220 and someone will be in touch with you promptly.  For directions to the club, see our home page. If you decide to join the club, we will have you fill out a membership application including authorization for a criminal background check.  We will give you a complete membership packet and gate card access on the date you sign up.  Final membership acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of the background check.  We do not accept convicted felons or sex offenders as members.
