JCYS Sunflower Camp in Wicker Park

Summer Camp for Infants to Pre-K in Wicker Park, Chicago

Sunflower Camp at JCYS Wicker Park isn’t a break from the classroom–it’s a continuation of it. Our Reggio-inspired curriculum carries through the summer with experienced early childhood staff, with theme weeks like Color Week and Food Week weaving in extra fun along the way.

A baby wearing a striped shirt crawls on a play mat indoors. A plush giraffe toy is on the mat beside the baby. Shelves and chairs are visible in the background.

What Families Can Expect

Curriculum That Continues All Summer

Our Reggio-inspired curriculum carries through the summer, led by experienced early childhood staff.

Themed Weeks, Real Learning

Weeks like Color Week and Food Week bring hands-on projects and special weekly visitors, from a visit from Crosstown Exotics to hands-on Onigiri making.

Out in the Neighborhood

Campers take walks around the neighborhood throughout the summer, exploring the world just outside our doors. 

Two Places to Cool Off

Our two dedicated play spaces give campers room to splash, cool off, and play with friends all summer long.

The details, made simple.
