JCYS Sunflower Camp in Lincoln Square Ravenswood

Summer Camp for Infants to Pre-K in Lincoln Square Ravenswood

Sunflower Camp continues the school year into summer, with Jewish values woven into everyday life and added adventures like nature walks in the neighborhood and visits to local parks.

Care Your Family Can Count On, Every Day

What Families Can Expect

Every Week is a New Adventure

Weekly themes like Out of this World and Animal Adventures bring hands-on activities, sensory play, and imaginative fun to life.

Special Guests & Visitors

A special guest or vendor joins each week’s theme, from Cross Town Exotics to other memorable, hands-on visits.

Shabbat & Jewish Values

Every Friday, camp comes alive with the joy of Shabbat, with Jewish stories, songs, and values woven into everyday life, so identity feels like something children live, not just learn about.

Experienced Year-Round Staff

Camp is led by our year-round early childhood teachers, who bring years of experience to every summer day.

The details, made simple.
