This program is on FIRE! Campsite Kids is for children kindergarten through fifth grade (must have completed kindergarten).

Campsite Kids takes place in the woods behind Birch Grove at “The Campsite”—a paved bonfire area, camp chairs, a paved picnic table area, a hammock circle, a large grill, forts, and trails provided! We have a storage shed full of supplies and activities! There is no other program quite like it in Lake or Cook County, making it a popular program that fills up fast! It's going to be a great summer!

  • A focus on nature and all things “campy!"
