Big City Day Camp

For city kids who thrive on adventure, Big City Day Camp offers a summer full of discovery and exploration.

About Big City Day Camp

Welcome to Big City Day Camp, a place of endless adventure and discovery. Based out of JCYS Lincoln Square Ravenswood, your camper will dive into a world of creativity and fun, engaging in activities like storytelling, arts and crafts, yoga, and outdoor experiences. But that’s not all—Big City Day Camp includes a weekly field trip and swimming three times per week!

Our fantastic staff members all bring their own special interests and talents to share with Big City Day Campers for a one-of-a-kind experience. Small group sizes guarantee individual attention, fostering a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Imagine your camper returning home, buzzing with excitement, eager to recount tales of their latest field trip, showcase their artistic creations, or express the joy of what they learned at camp that day.

At Big City Day Camp, we don’t just create fun-filled days; we craft memories that last a lifetime.
