Park District works to make happy campers

The Oak Brook Park District’s summer camp Playground Program first began in 1969 and continues today as one of the most popular programs.

Pee Wee Playground Camp is for campers ages 3-5 and provides a summer recreational experience. Activities are based around a central theme and each week’s activities include social play, arts and crafts, storytelling, music and outdoor activities.

Playground Camp is for kids entering first through sixth grades and is a day camp focusing around weekly themes. Each Thursday, Playground Campers go on a field trip.

Registration is available for all Park District summer camp programs.
