Clear  Lake  Area Community  Center

Our Mission

"To provide a supportive environment for educational, recreational, cultural, spiritual, social and economic opportunities while preserving the historic Clear Lake Union Free High School building."

About Your Clear Lake Area Community Center

This historic building housed the Clear Lake High School from 1922 - 1997. The Center offers low cost rental space and community programming. It is a non-profit organization established in 1998 to provide an enriching environment for community activities while preserving a beautiful community landmark.

We became a 501(c)3 non-profit Corporation in 2003 and are governed by a board of directors.

The Clear Lake Area Community Center (CLACC) provides Clear Lake, Wisconsin and the surrounding area a variety of community oriented services such as the Lifeline Food Pantry, AA, NA, a Grief Recovery Group meeting space, and meeting space for the Clear Lake Community Club.

The CLACC is also home to a diverse group of non-profit organizations including the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Clear Lake Chronicle Newspaper, Lion's Club, Girl Scouts of America, Boy Scouts of America, The Salvation Army and the Clear Lake Community Theater group.

Last but not least is the Old School Thrift Shop owned by the CLACC and operated by a dedicated team of volunteers in an effort to bring affordable, high quality goods to those who need them.

​The CLACC also provides event venues for the local Fire Department, EMT pancake breakfast fund raisers and Event Center for wedding events, family and class reunions, parties, dances, and other private events. A commercial kitchen is available to those who are licensed to produce bake goods and other food items for resale, and fund raisers such as bake sales.
