Our Medical Team will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation and will work on the necessary precautions to operate in person again when it is safe to do so. The “silver lining” to this COVID cloud is our ability to serve more families who wouldn’t have been able to attend camp in person.
Here’s how we continue to grow through virtual programming.
Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago made the switch to virtual programming in May of 2020 with a statement that COVID “Can’t Stop Camp Now”
“The Camp Show Must Go On!” ran from Monday, August 10th to Friday, August 14th and allowed for more new campers and staff to join the camp family this summer.
To keep “The Magic of Camp” going, we’ve expanded our programming to include a Virtual WInter Weekend (January 29th – 31st) and a Virtual Spring Weekend (April 23rd – 25th).
We asked our campers to finish the phrase “Because of virtual camp…” and this is what they said:
We are so thankful to all the caregivers who have let us into their lives. The following is a letter from a parent new to camp that really spoke to us about the impact of camp:
At Camp Kids are Kids Chicago, we are decicated to providing a great experience, along with maintaining the best standard of care for our campers.
