Announcing Summer Camp 2.0!
Dear Camp Parents & Guardians,

Because your child is currently registered for a Second Session and/or End-of-Season Skokie Park District Summer Camp (July 13-August 21), please read the following information carefully. 
 
Due to space and capacity limits set forth by Governor Pritzker's  Restore Illinois Plan  we are unable to run  many  of our summer camps as advertised for  the   second session and end - of - season.  However, with some changes to format and structure, we are pleased to announce that a different version of our existing camps  will begin  July 13.   
 
Summer Camp 2.0 camps will  take  the place of all previously-advertised summer camps for Session 2 (July 13-August 7) and End-of-Season Camps (August 10-21), with the few exceptions listed below .
