Camp Birchwood’s countdown to confidence 

Camp values that make 

a difference 

No. 10. Girls make their own 

decisions 

Camp engages girls in their 

own decision-making process. 

Yes, without mom or dad there, 

it’s up to them to make their 

schedule and live out their every 

day. Sometimes they make mistakes, 

but those gentle set-backs 

show them they can persevere 

and face more challenges in their 

future. 

No. 9. Girls do cool stuff 

Studies indicate that girls tend 

to base their self-worth on their 

relationships rather than “hard 

skills” or actual accomplishments. 

At Birchwood, girls get 

off the roller coaster of “what others 

think” and start doing. What 

they gain is a kind of “know how” 

no one can ever take away. 

No. 8. Girls gain those 

indispensable “soft skills” 

Unlike hard skills that are based 

on the ability to perform a task, 

soft skills relate to how well you 

conduct yourself within a group. 

At Birchwood, girls develop 

crucial soft skills living in a cabin 

of 10-12 their peers. In doing 

so, they learn to share, use good 

manners, listen well, speak with 

respect, tolerate differences and 

come together as a team to accomplish 

goals. 

BOYS 

& GIRLS 

AGES 3-12 

No. 7. An all-female setting is 

all-special 

Our all-female setting minimizes 

distractions and invites 

girls to communicate openly and 

authentically. There’s no competition 

about appearance, or status, 

or popularity. Girls can let go of 

“who they think they should be to 

impress others” and focus instead 

- on who they truly are - unique, 

valuable and worthwhile individuals 

capable of greatness. 

No. 6. At Birchwood, girls stop, 

look, listen and reflect 

At Birchwood, our counselors

incorporate intentional learning 

moments into every day. Girls 

are asked to reflect on their efforts 

(big or small) so they can 

appreciate their own progress 

(rather than compare it to others). 

Crystallizing their growth turns 

the simplest moment into an epic 

confidence booster. 

No. 5. Social media takes a back 

seat to soulful socializing 

At Birchwood, all the gadgets 

are put away. Girls focus on what 

is happening in the moment. Life 

is not measured by selfies. It is 

measured by shared laughs, outdoor 

adventures, meaningful conversations, 

challenges overcome 

and real connections made with 

friends in real time. 

No. 4. Time in the outdoors is the 

best time of all 

At Birchwood, girls depart the 

blitz and chaos of modern life 

and enter a space where they can 

breathe fresh air, dive into cool 

waters and sit with the earth. A 

calm simplicity weaves itself 

into their everyday experience. 

Stresses dissipate. Their world 

becomes smaller. More manageable. 

Better. Happier. Healthier. 

No. 3. Real role models who 

make a real difference 

Sometimes it takes someone 

who isn’t your adoring parent to 

motivate and inspire you as you 

grow up. 

At Birchwood, girls are surrounded 

by female role models 

worthy of emulation. These college-age 

ladies empower girls to 

celebrate their individuality, take 

on brand new challenges, express 

their opinions with respect and 

appreciate uniqueness in others. 

No. 2. Friends really are friends 

forever 

As girls share their most joyful, 

honest self with one another, 

a binding connection is made. 

At Birchwood girls learn what 

it feels like to live kindly and 

respectfully with one another. 

From start to finish, they are encouraged 

to care for their own 

self and for others. The kindred 

connection that is built within this 

setting lasts a lifetime. 

No. 1. Resilience and strength is 

learned 

Whether sailing, camping, 

shooting an arrow, or making art, 

every day at Birchwood girls are 

active, soulful participants in their 

own lives. The live big. They 

learn hands-on. And they stand 

taller and prouder – and stronger - 

when they go home because of it.

dance, art and technology, 

there is a camp for every 

age. Registration opens

New this year, we are 

offering half day camp options 

for our most popular 

camp, All Stars & Beyond. 

Half day camps run from 

9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and are 

the perfect way to keep the 

kids busy in the morning 

and have afternoons free 

for family picnics, beach 

days or just enjoying the 

lazy days of summer. Also 

new is McCormick Extreme 

Camp for grades 5 

and 6. 

Extreme Campers will 

engage in many outdoor 

activities including rock 

climbing, canoeing and 

more. If you have a young 

artist interested in ceramics, 

Youth Wheel Camp is 

a creative, new option. 

Traditional day camps 

including Summer Discovery, 

Everett Explorers and 

All Stars (ages 3-12) are 

offered from 1 week to 8 

weeks, so you can customize 

your camp schedule 

to fit your summer plans. 

McCormick Day Camp is 

offered in a 6 week session, 

with choices of 2, 3, 

or 5 days per week. Many 

of our camps offer weekly 

trips to the beach and multiple 

field trips throughout 

the summer. To accommodate 

working parents, 

we have Extended Day 

Camp at Deerpath Middle 

School. 

Our beloved Twigs 

Camp features an emphasis 

on art (including ceramics, 

drawing and painting), theatre 

and dance. Dance Me 

a Story camps (ages 3-7) 

will have your tiny dancer 

twirling to the music of Adventures 

in Neverland and 

swishing their grass skirts 

in Awesome Aloha. For 

boys and girls, Break the 

Beat Hip Hop Camp (ages 

5-7) is high-energy and will 

have your dancer movin’ to 

the beat. 

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. 

This year, our sport-specific 

camps include archery, 

sailing, golf, lacrosse, soccer, 

basketball, football, 

gymnastics and volleyball. 

We also offer S.T.E.M. 

camps which include robotics, 

Minecraft, 3D design 

and printing, augmented reality 

and more. 

For older kids currently 

in grades 7 through 10 this 

year or 13 to 15 years old, 

our popular Counselor in 

Training (CIT) volunteer 

program offers them the 

opportunity to develop 

leadership skills through 

summer work experience. 

The CIT information 

packet and application is 

available for pick up at the 

Recreation Center or on 

our website. 

See you this summer.

Gorton Community 

Center summer camps 

offer new experiences 

Did you know there is 

a robust array of summer 

camps offered at Gorton 

and they sell out fast? Being 

the gathering place for 

arts and culture, Gorton 

lives up to its mission offering 

everything from Safety 

Town Camps to week-long 

specialty camps ranging 

from cooking to Mandarin 

to robotics. 

The week-long camps 

run June through August 

and cover a diverse array 

of activities. Additionally, 

they offer an entirely different 

experience each week, 

so your child can enroll in 

as many camps in a certain 

category as he or she would 

like and the curriculum will 

vary week to week, never 

repeating, with the exception 

of film. All camps are 

taught by local professionals 

and run 9 a.m.-noon and 

1 p.m.-4 p.m. Patrons are 

free to enroll in a morning 

and afternoon camp, piecing 

together a custom allday 

camp of their choosing. 

Many local residents 

are familiar with Gorton’s 

Safety Town Program, and 

sit by their computers at 

9:59 on sign-up day not 

to miss the opportunity to 

enroll their child. Modeled 

after the nationally recognized 

Safety Town Camp, 

Gorton’s Safety Town Majors 

(ages 5-7) has become 

one of the best-run Safety 

Town’s in the nation. With 

full participation by the 

City of Lake Forest’s Police 

and Fire Departments, 

certified teachers and local 

professionals in areas ranging 

from swim safety to pet 

safety, this camp reaches 

the gold standard for teaching 

kids ages 5-8 how to 

be safe in a fun, interactive 

way. This camp has been so 

successful the last six years 

running, that Gorton created 

a Safety Town II Camp 

(called Commanders) for 

the next level, ages 8-10. 

This is one of the very 

few Safety Town’s in the 

country geared for this age 

group. Safety Town Commanders 

dives deep into 

everything from gun safety 

to cyber bullying to mindfulness. 

Similar to Safety 

Town Majors, this camp 

is taught by a certified 

teacher, community experts 

ranging from the American 

Red Cross to Lake Forest 

Open Lands Association, 

and of course, local police 

and fire departments. 

Safety Town Majors will 

take place on June 11-14 

this summer and Safety 

Town Commanders camp 

runs August 13-15. 

Safety Town Deputy 

camp is perfect for tiny 

tots ages 2-5 and is taught 

through the Drop In Learning 

Center at Gorton. This 

camp is an abbreviated 

version of Safety Town 

Majors, has participation 

by the Lake Forest Police 

and Fire departments, and 

is a shorter day with gentle 

introduction to the most basic 

safety issues. This camp 

runs August 5-9. 

Registration for all 

camps happens online on

Camp Jorn’s everyday camp is an adventure 

For more than 65 years, 

Camp Jorn has provided 

boys and girls the opportunity 

to become part 

of a special community 

focused on character, values, 

self-discovery and 

independence. Camp Jorn 

YMCA is situated on a 

70+ acre peninsula in Wisconsin’s 

Northwoods in 

Manitowish Waters, WI. 

Camp Jorn YMCA has 

made a commitment to 

ensure a positive and safe 

camping experience for 

each child who attends our 

summer program. Our focus 

on character development 

helps youth to grow 

in the areas of our four 

core values – caring, honesty, 

respect and responsibility. 

Campers range from 

ages 8-17. Camp Jorn offers 

campers the opportunity 

to stay for one week 

or two weeks at a time. 

At Camp Jorn, campers 

will participate in three instructional 

classes per day. 

Other times are dedicated 

to cabin activities. The 

cabin group participates 

in activities such as trail 

rides, tubing, sailing, cabin 

challenges, sports and 

more. Evenings are a blast. 

We have all-camp activities 

such as campfires, 

skits, games such as Wells 

Fargo (think Capture the 

Flag), Granny’s Candy, 

Gold Rush and more. On 

closing night we have our 

Friendship Fire ceremony. 

Teen programs include 

TEVA (13-15 yr. olds) and 

CIT (Counselor in Training 

16+). TEVA offers 

older campers increased 

independence and responsibility, 

with some familiarity 

of traditional summer 

camp. TEVA campers 

reside in Camp Jorn’s Yurt 

Village as a community. 

TEVA campers spend part 

of the day gaining leadership 

skills through an 

array of outdoor skills 

lessons. Cabin activities 

are focused on serviceleadership 

and preparing 

(training) for their wilderness 

trip. Campers also 

get the experience of outdoor 

cooking in TEVA’s 

own outdoor kitchen. Each 

TEVA session includes the 

opportunity to experience 

a wilderness canoe or back 

packing trip. TEVAs will 

leave camp with a greater 

sense of themselves and 

skills to be a leader. CITs 

will work closely with 

members of the counseling 

team and leadership staff 

while going through training. 

Their schedule will 

consist of spending time 

with our day camp and 

resident camp programs 

to gain group management 

and youth development 

skills through experiential 

learning. 

Camp Jorn does provide 

scholarships to campers as 

we never want anyone to 

miss out on camp. 

You won’t want to miss 

out on a summer at Camp 

Jorn.
