K-5th GRADE PROGRAM

Each summer we take 175 campers per session who are entering K through 5th grade in the fall of 2025.

Campers come from over 19 schools throughout the Chicagoland area as well as around the country to spend the summer with us.

Our goal is that through SPORTS, CREATIVE ARTS, ADVENTURE EDUCATION and TEAM BUILDING, our campers will experience a summer filled with LAUGHTER, FUN, FRIENDSHIP and MEMORIES.

 

NEIU Pool is closed this summer due to renovations.

While having fun is always front and center, so is helping kids develop a sense of confidence.

Through various hands-on sports and leadership activities, kids learn how to respect themselves and each other. Kids Playing Camp puts the focus on FUN through sportsmanship. FUN through cooperation. FUN through understanding diversity. Kids LAUGH. They LEARN. They have a great time. And, in the process, they GROW.

Campers in the K-5th Program are divided into grade appropriate groups with activities that focus on their emotional, social and physical growth.
