Welcome

Welcome to the Fox Valley Rocketeers NAR Section #683. (FVR for short)  We are a group of model rocketeers in the Fox Valley suburbs of Chicago in Northern Illinois - our membership is roughly centered in McHenry County.  If you would like to fly rockets with us, we usually fly spring through the fall in the Woodstock, IL area.  In the winter, we take a break from flying and usually have a field trip.   We also meet once per month, typically the first Monday, at the Challenger Learning Center in Woodstock, IL.

We are always looking for new members, so if you are even curious, join us at one of our meetings - or even better - at one of our launches.  We aren't charging any membership fees at this time and all are welcome. Click here to join our mailing list
