Additional activities include Lil' Kickers, magic shows and a special show with Magic Randy, reptile encounters, cooking and craft classes, daily outdoor playtime on a private, state-of-the-art playground, quiet neighborhood walks, walking field trips for older campers, daily infant/toddler signing in the classroom, weekly Spanish lessons with Ms. Yesensia, and music with Ms. Elisa from Wee Groove; students 5 and up also go swimming at Goldfish.
• Ages: 3–8 years old
• Schedule: Full-day camp Monday–Friday with drop off and pick up available 7:30am–6:30pm, with core camp activities running 9am–4pm across multiple June–August sessions and an additional bonus week
Camp Kids’ Work runs Session 1 from June 8–26 (closed June 19, 2026), Session 2 from July 6–24, Session 3 from July 27–August 14 (with camp ending at 4pm on August 11), and a bonus week from August 17–21. The program follows an age-specific classroom learning model and smaller-than-typical group sizes, with weekly themes and activities, special experiences such as reptiles and cultural cuisine, and private enclosed courtyard and partially covered open-air nature-themed playground learning environments.
Camp Kids’ Work provides organic breakfast, lunch, and snack daily from Healthy Organic Kids, with nutritious family-style meals featuring almost exclusively organic and locally sourced fresh fruits and vegetables. All students and staff must have received the immunizations required by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the program follows strict adherence to DCFS and Illinois Department of Public Health immunization requirements with no vaccine exemptions; all students, including international students, are required to be seen by a doctor in the state of Illinois and have the DHS Health Form completed by an Illinois-licensed doctor.
Camp Kids’ Work is accredited by NIPSA (National Independent Private School Association). The program uses the Brightwheel parent communication app for daily shares, and classrooms and shared spaces have video camera monitoring. Security features include a Kisi Keyless Entry System with locked exterior doors, an alarm system connected directly to local police and fire departments, regular emergency drills for fire, tornado, intruder, and shelter-in-place, restricted perimeter and building access, security fencing, high-tech cameras, intruder safety locks, full fire suppression, and limited street visibility.
Camp Kids’ Work is staffed predominantly by year-round teachers who meet Illinois state requirements for early childhood education and have Kids’ Work training, background checks through Illinois DCFS, and CPR and First Aid certifications. Every staff member is CPR and First Aid certified, staff are trained in allergy response, and a nurse consultant provides regular training on the correct use and application of action plans, rescue inhalers, and EpiPens.
