This camp offers a full schedule of exciting activities that will keep your child engaged all day long. The majority of the time is spent outdoors, where children can play, stay active, build independence, develop life skills, make new friends, and create lasting memories. In addition to arts and crafts, sports, and games, campers will have the chance to explore nature through fishing, hiking, and scavenger hunts. Weekly swim days and field trips are also part of the fun.
Register online or download a registration form and return to the Community Center.
Our camp counselors are a mix of experienced and enthusiastic high school students, college students, and adults. They foster a non-competitive environment where kids can relax, have fun, and simply enjoy being kids. Many of our counselors have been with the Park District and camp program for several years. Due to the later release of D26, Week 1 of Camp ECHO will have different options than the remainder of the summer. Flex camp will now be held Wednesday – Friday of Week 1 only.

Early Childhood Mini Camps: Big Fun for Little Explorers While our beloved Sunshine Camp takes a brief pause this year to allow for wonderful ADA upgrades to our preschool facility, we’re thrilled to introduce Early Childhood Mini Camps—a perfect summertime experience for our youngest campers. Sunshine Camp will return in summer 2027, but in the meantime, these new Mini Camps promise just as much joy, discovery, and play.

Designed specifically for children ages 2½ to 4½ not entering kindergarten. Each three day session blends play based learning with sensory exploration and early social development. From hands on crafts and engaging sensory projects to lively games and gross motor play, children will enjoy a full variety of indoor and outdoor activities crafted to spark curiosity and build confidence. Mini Camps meet Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at the Community Center, 255 Briargate Road. 2½ to 3½ campers meet from 9:00-11:00am and campers ages 3½ to 4½ meet from 12:00-2:00pm.
• • • •
Children should bring a refillable water bottle each day Please be sure your child has a sweatshirt, as the room gets cool in the summer. Mini Camps will go outside each day for gross motor activities as weather permits. Mini Camps will not include snack time and no food is provided or required.

Registration Information Age Appropriateness Ages and/or grades are listed with programs as guidelines for age-specific ability. The younger the participant, the more this guideline must be followed to ensure safety, enjoyment, and accomplishment. A birth certificate may be requested if doubt occurs concerning a participant’s age. Behavior Although the Park District realizes that inappropriate behavior may occur, the Park District reserves the right to suspend or remove participants from programs or facilities if hazardous, disruptive, and/or destructive behavior persists. If a participant is taken out of a program or removed from a facility due to these circumstances, a prorated refund will be issued for the remainder of the program or facility usage. Minimum/Maximum A minimum and maximum number of participants is set for each program. This is to ensure the best possible experience for each participant. The Park District may increase or reduce program size if necessary. Photos and Videos Photos and video footage are periodically taken of participants in a class, during a special event, or in the District’s parks and facilities. Please be aware that by registering for Park District programs and activities or by using the Park District’s parks and facilities you agree that any photograph or videotape taken by the Park District may be used by the District for promotional purposes including print and electronic media without further permission and without any compensation to you.

During the course of Park District programs, there can be unforeseen circumstances that force the Park District to change schedules, instructors, combine or postpone programs, adjust facility usage or modify fees. The Park District makes every effort to ensure that the information presented in this brochure is complete and accurate; however, sometimes errors do occur and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Insurance The Park District does not carry medical or accident insurance for program or facility participants. The cost would make program fees prohibitive. Please review your own personal health insurance plan to be certain that you and your family have the proper coverage. Policies, Procedures and Guidelines: Additional Park District policies, procedures and guidelines are available for review at the Cary Park District Community Center. A Note of Thanks Thank you to School Districts 155, 26 and 3 for providing facilities in which to hold recreational programs; to Park District Commissioners, volunteers, and staff who devote so much of their time; and to you, the community, for your support.
Fees Resident/Non-resident - The first program fees listed in the brochure are for Cary Park District residents. Non-resident (NR) fees are listed second and are the higher rate of the two. Residents support the Park District through tax dollars, while non-residents pay to participate through higher registration fees. All account balances must be paid in full before registering for new programs. Fair Share Those desiring to achieve resident status may pay their “fair share” of taxes based on the taxable value of their home. This entitles an individual to pay in-district fees and register for programs at the same time as residents. Fair share will be applied over a 12-month period. Some exceptions apply, please refer to the Fair Share Guidelines found in the Forms section of carypark.com. The taxable value of a property is stated clearly on the tax bill. Fair share in not necessarily for everyone. This has to be determined by you, taking into consideration the frequency of Park District use and the value of your home. The inquiring individual should provide a copy of their current tax bill to the Superintendent of Recreation for review. The Fair Share amount will be calculated and a written reply will be sent. If you don’t have a copy of your current tax bill, call your taxing township for your home’s taxable value. Waiver of Fees A Waiver of Fees program is available to provide assistance to residents with financial hardship. Confidential application may be made to the Superintendent of Recreation. Personal financial records may be requested to verify need. ADA The Cary Park District complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination in the provision of programs, services or activities to individuals with disabilities.

In addition to the programs listed within our brochure, the Park District also provides specialized services for people with disabilities through the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association (NISRA). Feel free to call NISRA at 815.459.0737, or see the NISRA section of this brochure for more information. If you have any questions about the Park District’s ADA policy, or believe you have been unfairly discriminated against in the provision of programs, services or activities of the Cary Park District, please contact Dan Jones at 847.639.6100.
