Every child should have the opportunity to discover
wilderness, camp under the stars, follow a trail, catch and release fish and
insects, plant a flower and play in the water. We will “Leave No Child Inside”
as we experience these and other outdoor adventures inspired by the Chicago
Wilderness movement. This movement encourages children to play on their own, to explore
and simply to be in natural surroundings. Campers will design forts, go fishing, participate
in classic outdoor games, canoe, go on field trips and beach days, and catch
lightening bugs at our annual family campout at the lakefront (weather
permitting).
Each section meets at the Lighthouse Nature Center for one week and the Ecology Center for one week. Space is limited, so sign up early! Pre- and Post-camp Care is available. For more details on Pre- and Post-camp Care, click HERE.
