It’s never too early to start planning for summer camp! The Buffalo Grove Park District has a variety of summer camp games and activities that are sure to make your child’s experience a great one.
Session 1: June 10 – July 5 (no camp on July 4)
Session 2: July 8 – August 2
Post Summer Adventure (K- Grade 8): August 5 – 9
Camp Connection is a before- and after-camp program designed to accommodate working parents. Camp Connection will be managed like camp and will not just be free play. Activities will include sports, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor games, and other fun summertime activities.
Camp Connection is only for campers who are enrolled in the Buffalo Grove Park District Camp programs and must be entering Kindergarten through 8th grade next fall.
The morning Camp Connection Begins as early as 7 am and ends at the starting time of the camper’s individual camp. The afternoon Camp Connection will start when the camper’s individual camp ends and goes until 6 pm. Snack will be provided in the afternoon session only during Camp Connection. Any children with food allergies may bring their own snack each day.
The Park District will do everything possible to keep Camp Connection locations at each camp site. However, due to varying levels of enrollment, participants may have to be transported to another location. In these instances, transportation from the participant’s camp site to the Camp Connection location will be provided.
Camp Connection is a separate registration from camp. When you complete your camp registration, please indicate your interest in Camp Connection in the questions. When Camp Connection registration information is ready, it will be sent to those who indicated interest as well as updated on the website. Please note: There is a 2-day minimum per week. For more information, contact Shannon McClure at 847.850.2121 or shannon@bgparks.org.
