Campers 4-10 years participate in five-day a week program.

Campers are placed in a group with up to sixeen other children the same age and gender. Campers are supervised by a Senior Counselor, who is at least 18 years of age and has previous camp leadership experience, and a Junior Counselor, who is at least 16 years of age.

Parents can choose from one of two camp options. Morning Camp runs from 9:00 - 12:00 p.m. All Day Camp program operates from 9:00 - 3:30 p.m.

The camp season is eight weeks. Parents may sign up for a minimum of four weeks up to the full eight-week season. Campers do not have to attend consecutive weeks, allowing for family vacations, etc. Parents who sign up for the less than eight weeks may extend their camper's stay by adding weeks during the summer.

The Day Camp/Language Immersion Program/Expedition Camps offer door to door transportation to those families who live inside of our pick-up area. This service is included in your camp tuition.

Our area of pick-up ranges from Evanston to Glencoe. We travel as far west as Waukegan Road in Glenview.

With safety as our number one concern, the Summer Program operates a fleet of certified school buses driven by fully licensed drivers.

Transportation assignments will be mailed the first week of June. No transportation requests or changes will be accepted after May 15, 2010.

If you are providing your own transportation, we ask that you drop-off and pick-up your child in the circle parking lot each day. For campers who begin the day at 9:00 a.m., please do not drop off earlier than 8:50 a.m. Also, if you are planning to pick up your child early, we ask that you call and/or send a note in advance. We will have your child waiting for you in the camp office.
