hicago Edge Soccer Camps return this year for their 12th summer of programming with the Park District of Oak Park. The camp has become one of the most popular summer options in Oak Park with almost 700 young players aged 4 to 14 participating last year.

We have a 90-minute-aday option for players aged 4 -6 that serves as a fun and engaging introduction to soccer. Players will focus on learning the fundamental skills of soccer in a positive and safe learning environment. Our 3-hour camp for players aged 6 to 14 is a great way to

sharpen your soccer skills and have FUN whether you play Travel, AYSO, or Recreational soccer.

Players will work on individual ball skills throughout the week and end each day with an exciting small-sided World Cup tournament. We have 8 weeks of summer camp all based at Taylor Park, players are welcome to sign up for one or multiple weeks. Directed by Murray Findlay and coached by the professional coaches from the Chicago Edge Soccer Club, one of Chicago’s largest youth soccer clubs and based right here in Oak Park. We hope to see you there!

Unplug your kids and let them get dirty at Terra Incognito!

W

e offer fun and educational wheel throwing camps for ages 5 and up. Summer clay camps provide young artists the outlet for exercising both critical and creative thinking through clay. If you want to nurture your child’s creativity, this is the place to be!

Students learn the skills to make functional pots and decorative clay art both on the wheel and by hand.

They will then learn how to decorate their creations using underglazes and glaze. The projects they complete will be food safe, made from nontoxic materials which are all supplied.

In addition, students will be shown the firing process, leading to a full understanding of the entire operation.

With our low teacher-to-student ratio, every camper will get the attention they need.

Morning sessions are from 9:00 am until noon for young potters (5-9 years old) and afternoon sessions are from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm for young adults (10 years old an up).

Each session is 2 weeks long, Monday through Thursday, starting on Monday, June 10th. The cost per 2-week session is $340.

Terra Incognito is located at 246 Chicago Ave in Oak Park. It has held Potter’s Wheel camps for over 30 years. Several of our former students are now well-known artists and teachers. We are thrilled to help cultivate the next generation of artists from Oak Park. Visit and sign up at terraincognitostudio.com.
