Welcome to Big City Day Camp, a place of endless adventure and discovery. Based at JCYS Lincoln Square Ravenswood, your camper will dive into a world of creativity and fun, engaging in activities such as 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 bring their own special interests and talents to share with Big City Day Campers, creating a one-of-a-kind experience. 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.
