​Mill Creek Preschool Camp Experience

Our Preschool camp has a max of 8 children per group, allowing us to go on unique trips and build strong friendships!  Camp runs weekly June 6st through August 12th for 10 weeks! The last week is CAMP REWIND when we re-visit their favorite trips and activities from the summer.

 Want your child to take swim lessons over the summer too? Sign them up and we will take them to their weekly swim lessons 2 days a week from June 6th through July 28th. 45-minute lessons with 15 minutes of fun in their leisure pool (splash area and slide). Parker’s Swim School Lessons are held at the Vaughan Aquatic Center indoor pool in Aurora.  The levels are designed for specific age groups to ensure appropriate curriculum, small class sizes and highly qualified instructors.

Around the World

Have you ever wanted to visit another country? Grab your passports and travel across the globe to India, Thailand, South America, Italy and of course America! As we travel, we will celebrate the Festival of Color, do some yoga, and even paint like Michelangelo!

X Marks the Spot
June 27th to July 1st:
Start the week off getting your materials ready to explore, telescope, binoculars and magnifying glass. Once you are geared up begin your adventure as you follow clues that lead you to a hidden treasure and even have the chance to dig for gold!

More Than a Stick
July 5th to July 8th:
A stick is an excellent thing! You make s’mores with them, collect them, build with them, paint with them, take hikes with them….. A visit to Deicke Park and local forest preserves will help us find some sticks too!

Say "YES" to the Mess
July 11th to July 15th:
This week is all about making a mess! No one will pass up the chocolate syrup Slip’n Slide, body painting, making Oobleck, Mentos and pop explosions, tongue paintings and more! Do NOT wear nice clothes!

Sweet Treats
July 18th to July 22nd:
What is summer without some sweet treats! Ice Cream, Cotton Candy….mmmmm! A chef from Candy Kids in Oswego will help us make our own candy! A play dough bakery, batch of gooey shaving cream frosting, and other sweet treats will fill this sweet week. 

Art
July 25th to July 29th:
A tour of Water Street Studios will inspire your camper to create. During the week they will learn about various artists such as Pollock, Kandinsky, Matisse and Mondrian with fun, hands-on experiences and try various artist mediums.

Animal Kingdom
August 1st to August 5th:
On National Spiderman day we will have a visit from Hickory Knolls Nature Center and some arachnids! A day about mammals, fish, birds, and The Frog Lady will come on Reptile day!

Camp Rewind

Sometimes you have so much fun you want to do everything again. We may not be able to squeeze the entire summer into one last week, but we will do our best to re-visit some of the favorites!
