This camp offers a full schedule of exciting activities that will keep your child engaged all day long. The majority of the time is spent outdoors, where children can play, stay active, build independence, develop life skills, make new friends, and create lasting memories. In addition to arts and crafts, sports, and games, campers will have the chance to explore nature through fishing, hiking, and scavenger hunts. Weekly swim days and field trips are also part of the fun.

Register online or download a registration form and return to the Community Center.

Our camp counselors are a mix of experienced and enthusiastic high school students, college students, and adults. They foster a non-competitive environment where kids can relax, have fun, and simply enjoy being kids. Many of our counselors have been with the Park District and camp program for several years.

Due to the later release of D26, Week 1 of Camp ECHO will have different options than the remainder of the summer. Flex camp will now be held Wednesday – Friday of Week 1 only.

Early Childhood Mini Camps: Big Fun for Little Explorers While our beloved Sunshine Camp takes a brief pause this year to allow for wonderful ADA upgrades to our preschool facility, we’re thrilled to introduce Early Childhood Mini Camps—a perfect summertime experience for our youngest campers. Sunshine Camp will return in summer 2027, but in the meantime, these new Mini Camps promise just as much joy, discovery, and play.

Designed specifically for children ages 2½ to 4½ not entering kindergarten. Each three day session blends play based learning with sensory exploration and early social development. From hands on crafts and engaging sensory projects to lively games and gross motor play, children will enjoy a full variety of indoor and outdoor activities crafted to spark curiosity and build confidence.

Mini Camps meet Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at the Community Center, 255 Briargate Road. 2½ to 3½ campers meet from 9:00-11:00am and campers ages 3½ to 4½ meet from 12:00-2:00pm.

• • • •

Children should bring a refillable water bottle each day Please be sure your child has a sweatshirt, as the room gets cool in the summer.

Mini Camps will go outside each day for gross motor activities as weather permits.

Mini Camps will not include snack time and no food is provided or required.
