Spring Break Camp Grade K-8

Dreaming of Summer? So are we! The Wilmette Park District offers an array of day camps, mini camps, summer programs, and workshops for children and teens age 2-17.

Our wee campers may be trying a camp all by themselves for the first time. Other campers may be returning for their fourth or fifth summer of fun! Some of our summer campers even become Wilmette Park District camp COUNSELORS while in high school and college. We offer a Counselors-in-Training program (for age 12-15) to prepare them for that role.

Summer Camp

As your child begins their very first experience in a school environment, we know that socialization is one of the most important skills to learn. In the Age 2 Sparrows program, our teachers guide children in activities that promote self-awareness and a positive self-image. They also focus on sharing and compassion. The exposure to routine, listening and following directions helps ensure a smooth transition to the next level of preschool.
