Vernon Township Summer Camp registration is open

Vernon Township has announced that registration is open for its popular Summer Camp for children ages 4-7. This camp experience is packed with arts and crafts, games, sports, swimming and themed weekly activities. Special guest entertainers also join the fun throughout the summer. Lifeguard-led swim lessons will also be offered.

Summer Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, June 16 through Aug. 1, at William E. Peterson Park, at 16652 N. Buffalo Grove Road in Vernon Hills, and are led by fully screened camp counselors.

“This camp is more than just fun; it’s an opportunity for children to develop social skills, build confidence and make lasting friendships,” Vernon Township Supervisor Tim Kobler said. “We encourage families to sign up soon, since spots do fill up quickly!”

To attend, campers must be potty-trained and able to dress themselves for swimming. Parents should also provide their children with a daily lunch, water bottle, bathing suit, towel, sunscreen and rain gear, because camp is held outdoors.
