Frankfort Park District To Host Summer Day Camp

FRANKFORT, IL—Is your child ready to get out of the house, soak up the sun and have some fun? If you answered 'yes,' then the Frankfort Park District’s new summer day camp may be the perfect way to spend the summer.

According to park officials, the camp has been modified for this summer to ensure it is following the most up-to-date practices for campers, such as smaller group sizes and enhanced cleaning practices, all while keeping everyone on track to meeting new friends, making memories and experiencing new things.

Programs will include in-house entertainment, nature walks, arts and crafts, outdoor play and activities. There will not be a before and after camp option, field trips or swim days.

Campers will need to bring their own face mask, hand sanitizer, lunch and water bottle each day, park officials said.
