The Huntley Park District offers endless opportunities for K-8th graders to have a fun and memorable camp experience. Our full-day camp program focuses on adventure, friendship, fun, exploration, discovery, safety and team building. Huntley Park District strives to provide a quality, exciting and unforgettable experience to all campers each session all summer long! Camps spend the majority of their camp day outdoors when weather permits. No matter what camp you choose for your child, they will have a great summer! This program is not licensed or regulated by DCFS, and is a qualified license-exempt program.  

For summer 2024, each camp session will be two weeks long, with the exception of Performing Arts Camp.  Families will be allowed to request TWO week (5 consecutive days of the same week) "off" for vacation or other plans and receive a prorated fee, this does not include the $50 non-refundable deposit. See handbook upon registration for new process.

At the time of registration a $50, non-refundable deposit is due and the remaining balance will be charged on the Tuesday before each camp session begins. 

Participants will register by grade they will be entering in the fall.

Beginning July 8, swim lessons and summer camp DO NOT coincide. You are still able to sign up for Day Camp Swim Lessons even if it overlaps with a camp week your child is not registered for. During the week your child is not registered in camp, you will be responsible for getting them to and from their lessons.  Please drop campers off at STINGRAY BAY for their swim lessons, unless they are enrolled in AM Care. All campers will be transported to their group after swim lessons have concluded by camp counselors and/or supervisors. Campers enrolled in AM Care will be transported to and from swim lessons.  The process is not complete until you have submitted a  Camp Participant Transfer Permission Slip. Camp Swim Lessons registration opens at the same time as summer day camp registration.
