Make lasting memories
at Lake Forest Parks and
Recreation summer camps
Lake Forest Parks and Recreation offers
a wide variety of summer camp experiences
right here in our community with
flexible schedules, affordable pricing and
a reputation that is second to none.
From traditional, super fun day camps
to sports, nature, dance, art and technology,
we have a camp for every child. Registration
opens March 6 for residents and
March 13 for non-residents.
View our brochure and register online
at www.LFParksandRec.com, or stop by
the Recreation Center.
New this year, we are proud to offer
extended day camp. To accommodate
working or busy parents, campers can
stay an extra three hours (or until picked
up) and enjoy activities such as crafts,
games, sports and more! Extended Day
Camp will be located at Deerpath Middle
School, an ideal location for McCormick
and All Stars campers. Campers can be
picked up any time before 6 p.m.
Our traditional day camps, which include
Summer Discovery, Everett Explorers,
McCormick and All Stars, are for
children ages 3-12 and are offered from
one week to eight weeks, so you can customize
your summer camp schedule to fit
your family’s summer plans. Many of our
camps offer the opportunity to participate
in weekly trips to the beach, and campers
enjoy multiple field trips throughout the
summer.
Adventure Camp provides an all-day,
outdoor camp experience for six weeks,
or in two-week increments. This year,
our sport-specific camps include sailing,
golf, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, football,
gymnastics and volleyball. We also offer
STEM. camps, which include robotics,
Minecraft, 3-D design and printing, augmented
reality, and more.
Our beloved Twigs Camp is back and
better than ever with an emphasis on art
(including ceramics, drawing and painting),
theater and dance. Dance Me a Story
camps for ages 3-7 will have your tiny
dancer twirling to the music of “Mary
Poppins” and “The Wizard of Oz.” At our
new So You Think You Can Dance Camp,
campers ages 6-9 can get into the groove
and explore a new style of dance each day.
Wildlife camps are always a favorite
and the Wildlife Discovery Center is one
of the best places for kids to learn about
animals and nature as they study and observe
local wildlife along the Middlefork
Savana. Daily interaction with the WDC
animals provides children with the opportunity
to learn animal handling basics and
much more.
For older kids who are currently in
grades 7-10 or are 13-15 years old, our
popular Counselor in Training volunteer
program offers the opportunity to develop
leadership skills through summer work
experience. The many skills learned by
the CIT will aid them in possibly obtaining
future paying job opportunities. The
CIT information packet and application
is available for pick up at the Recreation
Center or on our website.
