The mission of the Special Recreation Services of Northern Lake County is to serve as an agent of its member park districts in fulfilling the commitment to serve the leisure needs of all their residents. SRSNLC specifically serves the residents who may have a handicap, regardless of severity or nature, and to facilitate those residents' inclusion into their home community leisure programs whenever feasible.

SRSNLC conducts a large variety of recreation programs year round. Sports, arts and crafts, music, social activities, camps, trips and special events are available to SRSNLC residents. SRSNLC also provides leisure education classes to the special education classrooms in its community.
