Preschool Camps
Age: 2 – 4 years
Preschool Camps are designed to expose your child to a fun and exciting learning environment. We recommend our camps to help transition your child into a semi-structured learning atmosphere in order to prepare them for Preschool. Preschool Camps focus on introducing circle time, educational concepts, structured projects and social interaction with peers. The Park District takes great pride in providing a positive, nurturing and safe environment for all children to grow.
Terrific 2 Be 2 Camp – Where Fun and Learning Begins!

Being two has never been so exciting! This camp is specially designed for your little one to explore art projects, enjoy circle time, listen to stories, and sing delightful new songs. With the guidance of our experienced preschool teachers, your child will experience a perfect mix of structured activities and unstructured play in a fun and engaging environment made just for two-year-old’s. This is a drop-off program held in our preschool classroom and led by our 2s preschool teachers. No need to worry about potty training—children don’t need to be fully trained to participate.
