This isn’t just a camp. It’s a promise—that no child has to walk their story alone. Every tent we pitch, every fishing pole we cast, every fire we build—it all carries Dallas’s name and the belief that one moment of hope can change a life forever.”

“The Camp Dallas mission is to guide young hearts to healing through the power of nature. We embrace the outdoors as a catalyst for mental wellness, nurturing resilience and hope in every youth we serve.”

What is Five Points Fridays?
Five Points Fridays began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to safely bring the community together, offering a space for people to enjoy live music, food trucks and outdoor activities while maintaining social distancing. Over the years, these events have grown into a cherished tradition, fostering a strong sense of community while providing access to music and the arts. With live performances, arts and crafts for kids and a welcoming environment for all ages, attendees have a chance to connect with their neighbors and engage in creative activities. Each month features a new initiative, such as mental health awareness in May, Touch-A-Truck in June and an adoption event with TCAC in July. August will feature a special Bicentennial celebration and car show. These events continue to strengthen local bonds and create lasting memories for the people of Washington.

Meet Group Fitness Instructor Ashley Page

“I’ve been instructing Les Mills group fitness classes at Five Points for nine-years. I absolutely love this job and helping others find their love for fitness, so they can see what they are capable of. Currently I teach BodyPump, BodyCombat, Strength Development and I am a substitute for GRIT. Weights and strength training are currently my favorite way to train, but I love a good dose of cardio as well.
I love spending time with my family: my husband, Benjamin, my son, Wilken, and our dog, Maizey. I’m still getting used to being a mom; we adopted Wilken in May of 2024 from Haiti. It has been a crazy and wonderful adjustment. We enjoy playing video games together, going out to eat and watching Wilken play sports. He has shown some interest in weight lifting which makes my heart happy.
My interests are working out-obviously, cooking, coffee, corgis, music, athletic shoes, naps and being outside. I also work full-time as a middle school Special Ed teacher and have been doing that for 16-years.”

Meet Coach Kate Baker

“My coaching philosophy is rooted in my belief that we control only what we can control ourselves. The resilience, self-awareness and discipline it takes to succeed on the court can teach us invaluable lessons about the same in everyday life. My mission is to bridge the gap between athletic performance and personal development, helping athletes grow in confidence, intention and emotional intelligence.
TrueImpact was born out of my desire to provide more than just technical training. I want every athlete I work with to leave feeling, not only stronger in their skills, but more connected to their potential as individuals. By partnering with Five Points, I’m excited to bring this unique approach to athletes across all levels; offering clinics, camps and private/small group training sessions.
For me, coaching is deeply personal. It’s about seeing that spark in an athlete when they realize what they’re capable of—on the court and in life. I want to guide them to trust their process, own their journey and leave a lasting impact wherever they go.”

Rove & Ramble: Around Town - June
2025-06-19 17:00 - 20:30
Rove & Ramble is hitting the road — literally!

In past summers, you’ve joined the Washington Specialty Shops on the Square every Thursday to enjoy live music, food trucks, shopping and summer vibes… but this year, we’re taking the fun to a whole new level.

This summer, we’re roving around Washington to bring the party to three amazing locations — each with its own unique flavor and atmosphere:
– The Square
– Countryside Banquet Facility
– Five Points Washington

Expect the same great mix of music, food, and community fun!

June 19 | 5-7:30 p.m.
– The Station
– Big Papa Jake’s
– Rubi’s Brickoven Pizza
– Swanee’s Pretzels
– Gramma Nana’s Kitchen
– Kamaela’s Kreamery
– Music from Stephanie Foster
– Line Dancing provided by Jennifer Rawls from RedBear Line Dance: 7:30-8:30 p.m., wristbands to participate will be available for $5 per person

Learn more about Jennifer Rawls and RedBear Line Dance:

Being Texas born & bred, my love of two-stepping fed into a love of line dance. While I have been country dancing for many years, I only took up instructing formally over a year ago. It became apparent if I didn’t, there might not be any more dancers around. My mission is to get anyone interested in line dancing, up and moving to country music!

While I introduce the latest line dances from around the country, I emphasize learning a handful of core dances that can be done to many songs. I don’t want my dancers to have to memorize dozens of dances or wait for a specific song before they can dance. Thus, even if we’re learning an ‘older’ dance, we’re practicing to the latest country music.

I teach each line dance step-by-step, wall-by-wall, and when we’re all pretty confident, put it to music. During practice, we’ll dance to two songs at different tempos with steps called over the music. In the end, if we’re facing the same way, that’s great; if we’re having fun, that’s a real win!

I am currently instructing a weekly improver level class for the Peoria Park District. I also teach a progressive build beginner class for PPD when enrollment requirements are met.

Through my business, RedBear Line Dance, I have instructed weekly/bi weekly at Daddios (Bloomington), OZ’Z (Creve Coeur), and Hanna City Sportsman’s Club [HCSC]. Long term bookings in progress for 2025 include Haven on the Farm and HCSC.

Check out the full schedule and line-up here https://washingtonilcoc.com/event/rove-ramble/ and get ready to Rove & Ramble – Around Town!

TrueImpact Summer Volleyball Camps - Court Ready Series, Session 1
2025-06-20 13:00 - 14:30
Court Ready Series
Two-Day Game IQ Camp
Back by popular demand, Court Ready is a favorite among athletes and families looking to bridge the gap between practice and real match play. It’s ideal for athletes still new to competitive volleyball—or those needing a fresh start in the fundamentals that matter most. *Parents will train alongside their athlete on day one.

Ideal for athletes in grades 5–8 or any player seeking a reset on the essentials. This camp is intentionally structured to welcome a range of experience levels—from athletes new to club volleyball to those entering competitive play who want to strengthen their foundation. We do not enforce a strict age minimum or maximum, as the focus is on readiness to learn and willingness to grow.

Camp Highlights:

Volleyball IQ, movement and communication built for real match play
Covers skill execution, positioning and game knowledge
Day 1 includes optional training for one parent/guardian to build shared understanding

Session 1: June 20-21
1-2:30 p.m.

Location: Court 1

*minimum 6, maximum 12 participants

Registration
$35 Members, $55 Non-Members
Register HERE.
You can register online, at the front desk or over the phone.

Meet Coach Kate Baker

“My coaching philosophy is rooted in my belief that we control only what we can control ourselves. The resilience, self-awareness and discipline it takes to succeed on the court can teach us invaluable lessons about the same in everyday life. My mission is to bridge the gap between athletic performance and personal development, helping athletes grow in confidence, intention and emotional intelligence.
TrueImpact was born out of my desire to provide more than just technical training. I want every athlete I work with to leave feeling, not only stronger in their skills, but more connected to their potential as individuals. By partnering with Five Points, I’m excited to bring this unique approach to athletes across all levels; offering clinics, camps and private/small group training sessions.
For me, coaching is deeply personal. It’s about seeing that spark in an athlete when they realize what they’re capable of—on the court and in life. I want to guide them to trust their process, own their journey and leave a lasting impact wherever they go.”

What is Five Points Fridays?
Five Points Fridays began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to safely bring the community together, offering a space for people to enjoy live music, food trucks and outdoor activities while maintaining social distancing. Over the years, these events have grown into a cherished tradition, fostering a strong sense of community while providing access to music and the arts. With live performances, arts and crafts for kids and a welcoming environment for all ages, attendees have a chance to connect with their neighbors and engage in creative activities. Each month features a new initiative, such as mental health awareness in May, Touch-A-Truck in June and an adoption event with TCAC in July. August will feature a special Bicentennial celebration and car show. These events continue to strengthen local bonds and create lasting memories for the people of Washington.
