Northbrook Park District is holding an open house on Feb. 29 about the myriad summer camp options offered.
According to a news release, families will be able to meet summer camp supervisors and managers to talk about camps focused on arts, sports, STEM, figure skating, dance, theater, and more. There will be guided arts and crafts activities for children, so the adults have a chance to obtain information and ask questions. Refreshments will be provided.
“Every year we grow the program to offer new, fun and exciting options for the community,” Erin Sweet, superintendent of arts and recreation, said in the release. “We will share a sample calendar to give an idea of the trips and activities that we have planned, and all the ways in which the camp experience can be enriching and rewarding.”
The release said summer camp programming runs June through August at park district facilities and local schools with activities in parks, playgrounds and swimming pools. There are half-day camp options for ages 3 to 5, full-day camps for ages 5 to 14, one-week camps for various ages, and pre-and post-season camps.
“This year, we are excited to offer more pre-season and post-season camps, because they are really popular among families,” Sweet said.
According to the release, new camps this year include “World Explorers Camp” for ages 3 to 5; “Lil’ Artists Camp” for ages 5 to 7; and “Artistic Explorers” for ages 8 to 13.
The open house takes place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Feb. 29 at Techny Prairie Activity Center, 180 Anets Drive in Northbrook, the release said. If you register by March 6, you can save 10% on most summer camps and workshops. If your desired camp or workshop is full, you’re encouraged to put your name on a waitlist, the release said.
