Summer Learning for Kids

Education doesn't end with the school year. Summer is a great time to learn and explore. Our educators coordinate with local park districts to offer experiences that connect kids to our local environment.

Camp information for 2019 will be available early in the year. Please sign up for notifications to find out when registration is open.
