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.

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 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-yearolds 

are very active, competitive, and 

athletic, while others are more shy, cautious, 

or cerebral. 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 

confidence in social environments and 

their ability to relate to others. 

How do we determine the best social fit 

and groupings for cabins? Find out more 

at www.campkodiak.com. We will also be 

hosting an open house event in Chicago 

on Saturday, March 3. For more information, 

call us at (877) 569-7595 for complete 

details.

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.

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.

skills help today’s 

children to become tomorrow’s

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.

Memories for life. 

June 25th - July 27th



Making memories at La Relance Salon 

It is time again to make the 

decision about which summer 

camp our children will attend. 

As parents we have hopeful 

notions for our children of 

the things we fondly remember 

from our summer holidays. Regardless 

of the final choices our 

children will have many happy 

memories to reminisce about 

with their friends through the 

years to come. 

Making memories is something 

that Amanda, the owner 

and master stylist and colorist 

of La Relance Salon in Glencoe, 

has taken personally. 

“I have been working in the 

photography industry over the 

last four years,” she said. “It has 

brought me full circle within the 

beauty industry. It only made 

sense that not only cutting, coloring, 

and styling my customers 

hair but actually completing my 

vision along with makeup, clothing 

styling and finally a portrait. 

“I am giddy every time I see 

the vision come together while 

I process the last edits on the 

photos. I prefer an artistic portrait 

session over standard studio 

family portraits or simple work 

place head shots, but I understand 

the need for a beautiful image 

to use for personal and business 

needs.” 

Amanda uses her photos in all 

of the salon and studio marketing 

pieces and collaborates in local 

events with the best photographers 

and models in the Chicago 

area. Her creative portrait ses-

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 WeHaKee 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 WeHaKee 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 WeHaKee Camp for Girls!

La Relance Salon’s tips 

to help organize camper 

moms: 

• Forget ironing or sewing 

on labels. Use a Sharpie 

laundry marking pen 

or stickers that affix to 

the label of any item of 

clothing. 

• Have extra new socks 

and underpants. When 

you’re purchasing the 

required pairs of socks 

and underpants, buy 

an extra dozen of each. 

Have these in your 

child’s drawer for when 

they return from camp. 

Whatever makes it home 

after the summer will be 

ready for the trash bin. 

• Use large plastic bags 

to contain clothing. Put 

socks in one, bathing 

suits in another, T-shirts 

in another. This will 

make unpacking easier 

for your child. 

• Keep camp specific items 

separate when storing 

at home. Camp towels, 

clothing with the camp 

logo, “bunk junk” (small 

games, flashlights, canteens) 

should not be integrated 

into the linen 

closet, utility area, or 

playroom. When packing 

next year, you’ll 

have it all in one place. 

• Sneakers don’t come 

home from camp. Tell 

your child not to bring 

home any sneakers or 

shoes except for the 

ones on his/her feet. 

They will be so dirty 

that you’ll want to toss 

them when they get 

home anyway. 

• Schedule a lice check. 

When your child gets off 

the camp bus, take your 

child for a lice check before 

they enter the house. 

Head lice cannot hop or 

fly. They are spread by 

direct contact with the 

hair of an infested person. 

Head-to-head contact 

with someone who 

already has head lice is 

the biggest risk. Personal 

hygiene or cleanliness 

in the home or school 

has nothing to do with 

getting head lice.
