Dear Parents and Campers,

Welcome to Roycemore’s Summer 2022 Camps!

We are honored to have you as part of our community, and we are excited to continue building on the tradition of outstanding summer programs at Roycemore that goes all the way back to 1975. This brochure provides all the information you need to become a part of this summer. Whether you want to explore Evanston and Chicago, take a deep dive into college-level subjects, or throw yourself into new experiences from cooking to sailing, we are excited to offer students a range of fun, transformative, and educational opportunities from junior kindergarten to senior year. Our expert teaching faculty, the quality of our facilities, and our tight-knit community define us. We are proud to lead a diverse and talented team with extensive knowledge and decades of combined experience. We are also committed to creating and nurturing a safe environment. This year’s programs have all been designed with the flexibility and adaptability demanded during these uncertain times. We thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you this summer!

Sincerely,

Lillstreet Art Center offers a wide variety of summer camps for children and teens ages 3-16 in multimedia and specialized art forms including pottery, movie making, photography, sewing, jewelry, comics, painting and more. Each day, campers add to the lively Lillstreet community, working and learning alongside professional artists. We celebrate each camper’s individuality and unique voice—our instructors foster a relaxed and non-competitive environment in the classroom, and everyone has lots of fun! At the end of each week, parents and guardians are invited to an end-of-camp art show, featuring all of our campers’ hard work. We hope we can help you plan an exciting, motivating, and fun summer for your young ones!

New week-long camps begin every week, June 14-August 30

At Bennett Day Camp, we provide an enriching atmosphere that enables our campers to develop self-identity, leadership skills, and a lifelong sense of adventure. Our campers and counselors will participate in field trips, team sports, music, arts, scientific discovery, and water play in a collaborative culture.

Health & Safety
Bennett has always prioritized the health and safety of our campers. Learn more about the measures we’re taking to protect our community in our Summer 2022 Camp Guide.

Camper Input
Each morning, campers will participate in art, movement, and STEM activities based on the theme of the week. In the afternoon, campers get to “choose their own adventure” with afternoon choices. Options include, but aren’t limited to, drone racing, sewing and textiles, claymation, digital photography, slime time, coding, mechanical engineering, basketball, soccer, flag football, and more!

Field Trips/Water Wednesdays
We believe the city is our playground! Each week we will go on age-appropriate field trips that expose campers to cool architecture, local neighborhoods, and different cultures. On Water Wednesdays, campers will get to play on-site in our water field.

Flexibility
We know plans change! Our 100% Refund Policy allows families to receive a full refund up until the very first day of camp.

Registration begins March 2 for summer camps at Lincoln Park Zoo!

Children in grades PreK-4 can sign up for Summer Conservation Camp, where campers will join zoo educators and adventure through the amazing world of animals, exploring one of five themes each week designed to inspire a love of wildlife and curiosity about the natural world.

Cost is $900 per camper/per two-week camp for non-members, $765 for zoo members. Scholarships available.

All summer camps are held 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. daily from June 20 – August 26. In order to provide a safe space not only for our staff and guests, but the animals in our care, all eligible campers are required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 before attending.
