Summer @ NNM

Join us for fun at Summer@NNM camps! Near North offers camps for children ages 3 to 14 years old and internships for children ages 12 to 14 years old (6th-8th grades). Camps are open to all age-eligible children; you do not need to be a student at Near North to attend summer camp programs.

Camps include general day camps for early childhood (Bambini); specialty art, science, technology, and nature camps for elementary; field trip camps for elementary (Chicago Explorers); and specialized camps for junior high students. 

Early childhood camps are offered as half-day or full-day programs. Campers must be toilet-trained and at least 3 years old by September 1. All elementary and junior high camps are full-day programs.

Camp hours are 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (half-day) or 3:30 p.m. (full-day). Early drop off is available for all ages starting at 8:00 a.m. and extended afternoon care is available for all ages until 5:30 p.m.

The full camp preview is available now and camp registration opens February 22, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. Email programs@nnms.org with questions.
