2022 Kids Camp Parent Information Coming Soon!

Welcome to Palatine Park District’s Day Camp this summer! We are very excited about meeting your camper and will provide a warm, friendly environment with games, crafts, activities, and much more.

For returning campers who know and love Palatine Park District camps, many favorite activities and experiences will be the same, but some will still look different due to COVID precautions. Please read on to ensure you have a full understanding of how camps are operating this year.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to talk to the Camp Site Director and/or staff at your camp location. We believe that it is important that our staff have open communication with our camper’s families.
