DAY CAMP

The Crystal Lake Park District's  Day Camp program follows the Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and American Camping Association (ACA) guidelines.

We are thrilled that we are well on our way to preparing for an awesome summer at camp with your child. All camps will start at Main Beach each morning. Each week your camper will experience a field trip, swim lessons, boating, fishing, free swim, arts & crafts, special events and more! All camps, except Teen, also include 3 days of swim lessons each week. Procedures such as dismissal, e-newsletters, and EPACT (emergency forms) stay the same from camp to camp.

Our goals remain the same:

1. To help the campers build confidence, independence, and a sense of responsibility.

2. To build a sense of community and social skills.

3. To give campers opportunities they would not get at home. Such as small group games, art projects, scavenger hikes, and friendships.
