What You Can Expect at Our Lincoln Park Summer Camp
Our mission at Camp Lakeshore is to operate fun and engaging programs while fostering our campers’ physical, emotional, and social well-being. We give kids an experience that will last a lifetime! All Camp Lakeshore programs are based in our 185,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility which includes a large outdoor rooftop, playground, studios, and indoor/outdoor pool. Our camps also travel to surrounding neighborhood parks and field trips!
Camp Staff
Our quality staff sets Camp Lakeshore apart from others! Our camp staff is carefully selected for their enthusiasm, experience, and professionalism. Before camp begins, all camp staff is extensively trained in policies and procedures, CPR/First Aid, and how to effectively work with campers. We maintain low camper-to-staff ratios so that each child has the best supervision and support.
Lunch & Snack is Included
Our Executive Chef has designed a menu of snack and lunch options, specifically for our campers. All campers receive a daily snack, which includes fresh fruit. Full-day campers also receive a buffet-style lunch which includes a choice of entree, fruit, vegetable, a side, and a drink. Bagged lunches are provided on field trip days. Our meals are designed to be balanced and nutritious to promote lifelong healthy living!
Lincoln Park Camp Counselor in Training Program
Counselors in Training (CIT) are 7th-9th graders who work under Lead Counselors and begin to take on new responsibilities with younger kids. From helping to facilitate games and creative activities, to leading the groups through different locations. Counselors in Training learn what it means to take ownership, are mentored by their older peers, and are given a sneak peek into what it means to become a leader. Counselors in Training must submit an application, and from there we will contact you for an interview either via phone or at the club. All applications are reviewed by the Camp Management Team to ensure the CIT is ready for this next step before enrolling. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Camp Flex Program
Camp Flex is a full-day flexible registration program for campers ages 4-10, allowing single-day camp enrollment. This special program allows parents the convenience of flexible scheduling by offering camp by the day.
A typical day in Camp Flex includes campfire opening ceremonies, sports, crafts, playground time, and fun swim, with snack and lunch included. Camp Flex is a mixed-age group with kids ages 4-10 in the same group. We work to provide fun activities that are age-appropriate for all kids. Camp Flex does not include Wacky Wednesday or Field Trip Friday and is a separate group from traditional camp groups.
Camp Flex is offered from 9am-3pm, with pre and after-camp care available as well. Camp Flex runs all summer long, is $139/day, and includes snack and lunch. Camp Flex is only available to active members of Lakeshore Sport & Fitness. Please note, Camp Flex is for future registration only and cannot replace current registration.
