Family, friendly sports is offered through Hi-Five Sports Camp 

Dating back to 1990, Hi-Five 

Sports Camp is a huge part of 

Chicago tradition. 

Hi-Five Sports Camp is a 

family-founded business that 

looked at public sport and volunteer 

programs and thought ... this 

could be a lot better! 

We’ve been innovating recreational 

youth sports to work 

with younger ages in various 

team sports. We’ve been working 

to make it fun while filling 

the needs of parents, schools and 

communities. The culmination 

of all of our hard work is what 

we call the Hi-Five Ecosystem, a 

menu of sports classes, leagues, 

camps and events for children of 

all ages for every season. 

We look at youth sports as 

something for the whole family. 

We call this youth sports entertainment 

and just like any good 

entertainment it needs to be full 

of fun. We have a great balance 

of fun and fundamentals. We 

take sports seriously but we always 

say “you need a good sense 

of humor” too. 

The biggest celebration is our 

eight-week Hi-Five Summer 

Sports Camp that takes place at 

Christian Heritage Academy in 

Northfield. Our Sports camp is 

famous for a variety of reasons 

including our Hi-Five Olympic 

week, NBA week, Sandlot 

Week, NFL Week, two Hi-Five 

Camp videos made by the campers, 

Hi-Five Idol, Hi-Five World 

Cup, Hi-Five Stanley Cup Finals, 

and so much more! 

The best part is that everyday 

is a perfect mix of everyone’s 

favorites sports, outdoors, with 

music blasting. 

There is no place better than 

Hi-Five Sports Camp to see 

our philosophy in action. Our 

formula doesn’t just work in 

Chicagoland but everywhere. 

We’re in multiple states in over a 

dozen cities and growing. Don’t 

take it from us, ask our satisfied 

families throughout the United 

States.

Heart of WeHaKee Camp for Girls is relationships 

Founded by the Dominicans 

of Sinsinawa, WeHa- 

Kee Camp for Girls is the 

only full-season, all-girls 

camp, ages 7-17, that is 

owned and operated by a 

Catholic order of Sisters in 

the nation. 

Located in Winter, Wisconsin, 

WeHaKee Camp 

for Girls is noted by many 

as the premier summer 

camp in the Midwest. 

Founded in the tradition 

of the Sinsinawa Dominican 

Sisters, WeHaKee 

Camp for Girls is a place 

of fun and play where a 

girl’s journey strengthens 

her relationship with God, 

self, others and nature. 

Every girl, regardless of 

religious background, is 

encouraged and welcomed 

to join the WeHaKee community. 

All faiths are welcomed, 

respected, and valued 

at WeHaKee Camp for 

Girls. 

If you have a daughter, 

granddaughter, niece or 

any other special girl in 

your life, they will have 

more fun than they can 

imagine. They will create 

incredible friendships with 

girls from around the United 

States and the world 

and discover gifts within 

them that they never knew 

were there. 

WeHaKee Camp for 

Girls is a place where girls 

can grow and have fun 

while building confidence, 

character and lifelong relationships. 

With nearly 40 

camp activities led by our 

safe, skilled, competent 

and caring staff, campers 

will extend themselves in 

ways they might not have 

otherwise had the chance. 

Girls attending WeHa- 

Kee can customize their 

camp experience and meet 

girls who like the same 

stuff as they do! They get 

to design their own camp 

program by selecting the 

activities they love and 

the ones they want to try! 

Our caring counselors and 

helpful campers will support 

them as they try new 

things and explore who 

they truly are. 

Whether they’re horseback 

riding, water skiing, 

dancing or roasting 

marshmallows at WeHa- 

Kee Camp for Girls it’s 

all about building great 

relationships. But beware, 

summer camp is habit 

forming and they’ll want 

to return year after year! 

Our amazing camp staff 

will help each girl realize 

her uniqueness as an 

individual person, while 

helping her reach her full 

potential. Living in a community 

with girls from diverse 

religions, cultures, 

races, and economic backgrounds, 

allows each girl 

to grow and develop in an 

atmosphere of acceptance 

and encouragement. 

The experience of a lifetime 

is waiting at WeHa- 

Kee Camp for Girls!

meet new friends and try new things.

on the North Shore. 

Another beloved day camp in Northbrook 

is ‘Z’ Frank Apachi, a place North 

Shore children have claimed as their 

summer home for decades. The private, 

10-acre campus with wide open green 

spaces includes a brand-new playground, 

two large heated pools, tennis courts, athletic 

fields, a climbing wall and art studio. 

Spending the summer at Apachi encourages 

children to grow as friends, strengthen 

Jewish identity and gain confidence in 

themselves. 

This year, the fun keeps going with our 

newest J Camp, BIG IDEA, in Northbrook 

(and we could not be more excited!). 

BIG IDEA offers 13 technology 

workshops to choose from — including 

everything from coding and robotics to 

animation and app development — and 

empowers campers to uncover new interests 

and follow their passions. Each day 

blends time spent on computers with “unplugged” 

activities, including swimming, 

sports, art and games. 

JCC Chicago J Camps have become 

a right of passage for so many children. 

Our expert and caring staff continues to 

bring our time-tested summer experiences 

to a new generation of children, while 

constantly reimagining and innovating all 

that a child’s summer can and should be.

What is ‘Social Fit’ and why is it so important at camp? 

When campers arrive for 

their first day of camp, the 

first piece of information 

they usually receive is the 

name of the cabin group to 

which they have been assigned. 

But how are these 

cabin groupings arranged? 

At many summer 

camps, they are organized 

by arranging campers into 

groups based on age and 

Roller Rink 

Party & Event Rentals 

Indoor Inflatable Play Center 

gender. This method of 

grouping, where birthdays 

represent the key piece of 

information, is very similar 

to class organization 

procedures at schools. If 

one of the main goals in 

sending a child to camp is 

to make friends, then organizing 

cabins in this way 

does not make sense. 

There are so many variables 

that contribute to 

friendship-making, and 

age tends to be fairly low 

on the list. Much more 

important are factors such 

as interests, abilities, social 

skills and introversion 

versus extroversion. Some 

13-year-olds are very active, 

competitive, and 

athletic, while others are 

more shy, cautious, or ce-

rebral. If we want to maximize 

a camper’s chances 

of making genuine friendships 

at camp, we need to 

give him a lot of opportunities 

to spend time with 

like-minded peers, which 

means putting them in the 

same cabin. 

At Camp Kodiak, we 

call this “social fit.” We 

build our cabins according 

to which campers we 

think would get along, 

have common interests, 

have similar needs, and are 

closely related in age. 

We know that youngsters 

with learning disabilities, 

ADHD and ASD, 

have higher incidences of 

experiencing social difficulties 

than their typically-developing 

peers. Anecdotally, 

we hear stories 

from parents about difficulties 

their children have 

had in the past. Many of 

them have been bullied or 

excluded, made to feel peripheral 

or unwelcome in 

existing cliques. Since our 

campers are at greater risk 

of isolation and friendlessness, 

trying an overnight 

camp (or another camp 

after a previous negative 

experience) feels scary, so 

it is paramount that we set 

them up for social success. 

Not all of our campers 

have social skills difficulties; 

some are children or 

adolescents just navigating 

the regular social ups 

and downs that come with 

growing up. These campers, 

too, benefit from social 

fit because they need 

peers who challenge them 

and are good candidates for 

true, reciprocal friendships. 

Creating cabin groupings 

that offer our campers 

the best social fit provides 

all of our campers 

with many opportunities 

each day to practise and 

refine their social skills. 

With the guidance and assistance 

of Camp Kodiak’s 

trained, professional staff, 

our campers (and their 

parents) notice significant 

growth in their level of

experience, tradition 

general interest camps combine 

games, swimming, crafts, and 

field trips to deliver the variety 

they crave all summer long. 

Campers take full advantage of 

the Y’s gyms, outdoor sports 

fields, art and dance studios, and 

playgrounds. Most programs offer 

recreational swimming and 

lessons with professional Y instructors 

in the Y’s indoor pool. 

In total, the NSYMCA offers 

over 40 options to meet the needs 

of every child. Most importantly, 

all Y camps offer fun, active experiences 

that promote friendships, 

confidence, and curiosity.

Noggin Builders day camp keeps children engaged with S.T.E.M. 

Summer is a great time 

to explore! 

Fun, hands-on activities 

in S.T.E.M. (science, technology, 

engineering and 

math) will keep your budding 

scientist or engineer 

engaged over the summer. 

Noggin Builders campers 

explore through 

hands-on, real-world 

projects. We believe in 

asking questions, rather 

than stating answers, and 

in involving children in 

creating the path our explorations 

will take. At 

Noggin Builders, your 

child will build more 

than a science project; 

they build the life-long 

skills of problem solving, 

creative and critical 

thinking, perseverance, 

communication and collaboration. 

Creative problem solving 

skills help today’s 

children to become tomorrow’s 

future leaders. 

Our world is quickly 

changing in ways we 

can’t even imagine, and 

the most important skill 

our children need to be 

successful in the future is 

the ability to use creative 

and critical thinking to 

solve problems. STEM 

activities are a natural 

and fun way to build 

these skills. 

Noggin Builders Summer 

Camp offers flexible 

schedule options to meet 

the needs of your summer. 

Because each week’s 

theme and activities are 

different, you can sign up 

for the weeks that fit your 

child’s schedule. Early 

and late options are also 

available. 

Campers in grades K-3 

enjoy each camp day 

beginning at 9:00 a.m. 

and concluding at noon. 

Each day is filled with 

fun, hands-on activities 

in STEM. Your child will 

experiment, build, and create 

through explorations 

based on the theme of the 

week. Fun team building 

activities, cooking and 

crafts are also part of each 

week. Boom, Pop, Splat!, 

It’s Electric, Go Green Science 

and Time Machine 

are some of our themes for 

2018. 

Campers in grades 4-7 

will build creative problem-solving 

skills through 

open-ended design projects 

and experiments during 

their full-day camp, 

9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Each 

week includes a field 

trip incorporated into the 

STEM theme and fun team 

building activities, as well. 

Crazy About Coding, Cool 

Chemistry, Gadget Design, 

and Sensational Circuits 

are some of the themes for 

this year. 

Pre-K campers have 

fun with science, crafts 

and games specifically 

designed for 3-5 year 

olds. Getting messy with 

elephant toothpaste, 

powering vehicles with 

magnets or exploring 

light and rainbows are 

just some of the exciting 

hands-on projects for this 

summer.
