Session 5
A Note from Your Camp Director
Welcome of Session 5 of Pee Wee Camp! Our Pee Wee Camp team is extremely excited to meet our campers and their families. We have an engaging and active summer planned with your future Kindergartners and 1st graders that we know they are going to love. I have provided a few friendly reminders to help prepare for the summer and highly recommend reviewing our orientation video on our website to clarify any questions regarding camp.
Our fifth week is themed 'Ultimate Adventures' where campers will be engaging in a variety of outdoor activities, a Nature Center trip, and a field trip to Urban Air in Crystal Lake.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Diana Vroman, Pee Wee Camp Director, or Shauna Becker, Pee Wee Camp Assistant Director, at (815 )355-6359 or email us at dvroman@crystallakeparks.org..
