Sunflower Camp JCYS Lincoln Square Ravenswood is our summer program for campers ages 6 weeks to Pre-K. From children’s concerts to nature walks in our local parks to arts and crafts at our Family Center, campers enjoy all the great activities and programs we offer during the school year, along with some extra summer fun.
Camp is staffed by our year-round early childhood teachers, who have years of experience leading engaging programs and making camp fun.
At Sunflower Camp, each week brings a new theme designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and joy. Through hands-on activities, engaging experiments, and imaginative play, campers explore the world around them while building friendships and confidence along the way.
To make each theme even more special, we welcome a special guest or vendor every week, bringing the fun and learning to life in exciting, memorable ways.
Last summer, campers dove into “Under the Sea” week with fishing and ocean-themed sensory play, underwater dance parties, and even a “Taste the Sea” snack day. During “Animal Adventures” week, children created animal habitats, went on a scavenger hunt, and met fascinating creatures during a visit from Cross Town Exotics.
