2022 NORTHERN CHICAGO DAY CAMPS FOR CHILDREN IN LIBERTYVILLE AND ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL
Hot Ground Gym’s day camps combine physical and mental rigor with creativity and entertainment. Children engage in a variety of in and outdoor activities that promote teambuilding, motor skill development, and science-related physical training.
Our children’s camps keep kiddos entertained while they’re out of school for a holiday, winter break, spring break, or summer break. At Hot Ground Gym, we know that every child is different, so our full and half-day programs offer a range of activities to appeal to their strengths while still challenging their weaknesses.
From obstacle and rope courses to relay racing, our activities offer fun learning opportunities for kids to develop interpersonal skills by learning from each other and, in turn, deepen their emotional intelligence. While they’re climbing, jumping, crawling, and swinging, they’re building physical strength, confidence, and grit.
All our activities are safe and guided by expert facilitators who are CPR and first-aid certified to ensure high safety standards.
