SAFE With the lowest staff-to-camper ratios in the area, we pride ourselves on offering a safe summer camp experience from start to finish! Our staff is selected for their enthusiasm, maturity and experience working with children. They go through an extensive training prior to the start of camp so they are well-prepared to handle the needs of all participants.

ENGAGINGWe believe in structuring our camps to involve and engage each camper as they learn, play and grow. Summer is a time to explore and try new things. We will do our best to introduce your child to as many new experiences as possible. Our goal is for every child to have a well-rounded summer camp experience from start to finish so that they are eager to return year after year!

AFFORDABLEOur goal is to provide high-quality programs at affordable prices so that everyone is able to participate. We are proud to offer an early registration fee, sibling discounts and a camp payment plan.

A truly wonderful experience. My children are already looking forward to next summer.

Are you mature, confident, and enthusiastic? If so, the Leader-in-Training (LIT) program is the perfect opportunity for you to further develop your leadership skills this summer. LITs will experience what it is like to be a camp counselor by leading activities with our younger campers. This is NOT camp for older kids! This is a leadership program. LITs will meet with the LIT Coordinator for leadership training each Monday and spend the rest of the week at their designated camps either Prairie Dogs, Little Lincolns, or Camp Potawatomie.

Interested candidates must complete an application by June 2, 2016 and will be asked which camp they would prefer to work with. All applicants will participate in an interview for consideration. Not every candidate will be selected for the program. For more information, please contact Melissa Rimdzius at [email protected] or (847) 745-4728.
