Carol Stream Park District

The majority of the camp day is spent outdoors playing sports and games. Weekly highlights include visiting McCaslin Park, mini golf at Coyote Crossing, additional park visits, and multiple days of swimming at Coral Cove Water Park. During inclement weather and for breaks from the summer sun, camp will be moved indoors.

Weekly registration is offered. Before and After Camp are available at Simkus Recreation Center; campers are shuttled to and from Evergreen School for Summer Camp.
