With summertime approaching, so is registration season for Chicago Park District Summer Camps.
The district will host its annual selection camps, with registration running May 9-10 online and May 14 in-person for most parks.
Day camps for those ages 6 to 12 will span six-weeks from July 5 to Aug. 12. The camp offers two six-hour shifts each day, ranging from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Activities for day camps will include sports, arts and outdoor activities with a concentration on honing developmental skills from friendship to civic engagement.
