Camps
Adventurers (grades 3-4), Explorers (grades 5-6) and Camp Trekker (grades 5-8)
offer fun, challenging and memorable experiences to our older campers.
Adventurers and Explorers activities may be
mixed-ages depending on interest. Weekly field trips
include jaunts around Chicagoland. Back by popular
demand, Wednesday choice-day activities may
include kayaking, capture-the-flag, paddleboarding,
tie-dye and much more! Group and individually
selected activities will give campers the chance to
explore and challenge themselves. Campers are grouped
by grade level, and activities may include children of varying ages
depending on interest and ability. A maximum 10:1 camper to counselor
ratio will be maintained in each group.
Camp Trekker is based at Latin School, but
campers travel off-site daily, visiting favorite Chicago
attractions and hidden city treasures. Campers will
grow and develop their leadership and self-reliance
skills through learning to plan and traverse Chicago
using public transportation, walking and school
buses. Special field trips and visits to pools and water
parks are included.
