Day Camp, Discovery Day Camp, Sports Camp, and Zoo Camp will have a tentative start date of Monday, July 6. All those who registered for a camp that starts in June will be issued a refund that will go back to your original form of payment. You will receive an email confirmation once your refund has been processed. Staff is currently developing social distancing and sanitation guidelines to operate camp safely. These guidelines will be communicated before the start of camp. There will be no field trips or swim days for the 2020 summer camp season. Instead, in-house programming and entertainment will be provided. In addition, group swim lessons are canceled for the Summer 2020 season due to the uncertain COVID-19 safety measures from IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health). Information may change due to circumstances outside of our control.
Algonquin Lakes and Sleepy Hollow Day Camps
Due to facility availability and social distancing capability, Algonquin Lakes and Sleepy Hollow Day Camps will be moved to the Rakow Center. Current participants will automatically be transferred to Day Camp at the Rakow Center.
