Ahoy! Welcome aboard to
Summerama on the High Seas! Returning as your guides for this
swash-buckling voyage will be Josh Afram (Captain) and David McDonald
(First Mate). With 19 camps to choose from (including A Pirate’s Life ),
there is sure to be a camp for your little matey. Children will need to
bring a lunch everyday (we provide lemonade and water) but if you love hot
dogs, chips, and lemonade then leave your lunch at home on Thursdays (aka
Hot Dog Day) when all the food is on us!
Summerama is an all-day program (10:00 a.m. – 3:30
p.m.) for children entering 2-6 grade in the fall. The cost of camp is
$60.00 per week. Each week is special and exciting because you get to
choose your own activities. So register for one, two or all of the weeks
(extended care is available from 7:30 a.m. before camp and after camp
until 5:30 p.m.)
Camps are filling
up fast, so get your registration in soon!
Look at the descriptions below
(or the
registration form) for up-to-date full
camps.
Leading the way for
KinderCamp and Tot-A-Rama, programs for our younger
campers, will be Director Teresa Hubbard. This year, you can enjoy three
weeks of KinderCamp (9:00 – 11:30 a.m.) and two weeks of Tot-A-Rama (9:30
– 11:30 a.m.). If you have any questions about these activities, please
call us at 815-877-7046.
Pull up the anchor and hoist up the sails!

Attention Parents:
Children cannot register for the same limited enrollment camp more than
one time this summer. Example: Sally can sign up for week 2 of Spirit
Squad but will not be able to sign up for week 3 or 4 of Spirit Squad.
This gives more children opportunities to participate in limited
enrollment camps. However, on Monday morning during registration outside,
you may double check to see if a limited enrollment camp has openings. If
your child has already participated in this limited enrollment camp once,
but there is an opening on the Monday of that week of camp, they will be
allowed to immediately switch their camp registration at the registration
table.

child or volunteer for each extended session they attend. We’ll be looking
forward to seeing you this summer!
