Sunflower Day Camp at JCYS Lutz Family Center offers all the spirit of a traditional summer camp, with the experienced teachers of a premier preschool.
Summer Adventures for our Youngest Campers
Outdoor fun at Sunflower Day Camp includes trips to the Lillian L. Lutz Recreation Center (“the Lil’”) for swimming lessons (fours and fives) or to play around on the splash pad (threes). Our younger campers also enjoy Music & Movement with Stretch-n-Grow, while older campers learn the fundamentals of soccer, volleyball, tennis, and more with Amazing Athletes. As a new addition this year, we’re also offering yoga!
Age-appropriate field trips are a highlight of Sunflower Day Camp. In Summer Travel Tots, parents love joining their campers on trips to the Kohl Children’s Museum and WeOrbit, while older campers (fours and fives) enjoy mini-golf, Pirates’ Cove, Wagner Farm, and bowling. For all our campers, “At-Lutz field trips” bring performers and exciting activities right to the family center: in past years, we’ve hosted jugglers, magicians, storytellers, reptile shows, petting farms, and bubble guys.
Every Friday at Sunflower Day Camp is a special event day, with activities like a Royal Banquet, campfire, or water slide. We also host special dress-up days to coordinate with our theme of the week. Fridays also feature inclusive Shabbat celebrations with fresh-baked challah.
Families Grow at Sunflower Day Camp
Just like our school-year programs at JCYS Highland Park, Sunflower Day Camp is really a camp for the whole family. Camp kicks off with Parent Orientation night and parents are always welcome at our Parent Swim program observations and our camp party at the Lil’. We send home weekly newsletters from each group of campers and a bi-weekly all-camp newsletter to keep parents updated on all camp happenings. We post camper photos daily, both as hard copies and electronically.
Experienced Program Staff
Sunflower Day Camp is led by the same early childhood teachers who lead classrooms at JCYS Highland Park during the school year. Children love seeing the familiar faces of the teachers they know, and our experienced staff members – including our full-time Child and Family Development Specialist – have the know-how to guide children through any developmental challenges and fully support parents throughout the summer. Sunflower campers also have a great time with our Counselors-In-Training, trained assistants in grades 8-10 who help our full-time staff, act as good role models for our younger campers, and ease pick-up and drop-off transitions.
