SESSION 4

A Note from Your Camp Director

Welcome of Session 4 of Junior Camp! Our Junior team is extremely excited to meet our campers and their families. We have an engaging and active summer planned with your future 2nd and 3rd 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 posted on our website to clarify any questions regarding camp. If you have not done so, please finish your Epact forms as soon as possible. You received an email to the address that you registered with. You will not be allowed to attend camp until we have your emergency information.

 If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Matt Rogers, Junior Camp Director, or Madeline Cima, Junior Camp Assistant Director, at (815) 355-7097 or email us at mrogers@crystallakeparks.org.


Camp Drop-off/Pickup Procedures:

We ask that you please pull up in an orderly fashion. Follow the signs for the Junior Camp lane. When you drop off/pick up you will stay in your car. A counselor will come up to you and have you sign your child in/out.


When pulling into the parking lot at Main Beach to drop off campers, the left lane is for Pee Wee and Mini Camp. The right lane is for Junior and Senior Camps.
