JCYS North Suburban Day Camp

A typical day is anything but. Our variety camp includes all the classic summer camp activities and experiences, but we don’t stop there. Our specialty track program allows your camper to dive a little deeper into sports, the arts, and cooking. JCYS North has the classic day camp experience, and specialty programming rolled into one. Plus, weekly field trips*! We are excited to be able to offer these fun-filled days.

Our camp culture is filled with spirit and silliness, where everyone cheers on each other, and children are supported to take risks, challenge themselves, and try new things.

New for 2023: TEEN CAMP

We are excited to announce the addition of our new TEEN CAMP for 7th and 8th graders! Teen Camp will be an extension of our traditional day camp but with many new and exciting options for our oldest campers. Activities will include an additional weekly field trip, service-learning opportunities, team building, plenty of sports, and swimming at local pools and waterparks, and will include lunch on Fridays.

*All programs and field trip options are dependent on COVID-19 related protocols and could change should there be any mandates or orders preventing us from providing these options.
