Most of the processing fees will go to the Send A Kid to Camp Scholarship program.

meet our Camp Leadership
Cassidy Lemrise Recreation Supervisor of Youth Programs & Camps
Cassidy Lemrise has spent the last two years shaping River Trails Park District’s youth programs so that they are safe, inclusive, and full of fun. As Recreation Supervisor, she supports everything from summer camp and Kid Squad to youth enrichment classes, making sure every child feels welcome and every program runs with care and intention.
What inspires her most is the energy kids bring each day—and the chance to help them learn, grow, and shine. This summer, she’s looking forward to welcoming families, introducing new activities, and keeping favorite traditions going strong. Her goal is simple: a safe, joyful camp experience where every child feels like they belong.
Eileen Frage Recreation Coordinator
Eileen Frage brings both experience and heart to River Trails. Having recently returned to the district she knows so well, she’s been busy reconnecting with families and leading the programs kids love—Kid Squad, Hit the Trails Camp Winter/Spring, and Summer Camp. Whether she’s planning activities or cheering on campers as they try something new, Eileen creates spaces where kids feel safe, supported, and ready for fun. She’s most excited for the classic joys of summer— games, adventures, field trips, and all the memories that come with them.
