What is the cost of summer camp?

There is just a $40 Registration Fee to save your participant’s spot! Girls in the Game raises funds to cover all other camp fees; we do offer discounts if you are registering more than one participant:

1 Participant: $40
2 Participants: $65
3 Participants: $90
4 Participants: $110

How do I register my camper?

1. Save your camper’s spot by paying the $40 Registration Fee on our website.

2. Complete the camp packet at one of our in-person events, exact dates TBD.

3. Enjoy the summer!

Where and when will summer camp take place?

Camp will take place at Moore Park (5085 W Adams Ave) with Chicago Jesuit Academy across the street as our alternate location for inclement weather. Summer Camp will take place from July 7th - August 1st.

Will we have overnight camp this year?

No, unfortunately we will not be able to offer overnight camp this year. Girls in the Game has experienced a decrease in funding, along with many other nonprofit organizations, and we made the difficult decision to not offer overnight camp as it is one of the most expensive parts of the summer camp experience overall. However, we are working to bring more exciting guest coaches to camp than in previous years, and we hope to be able to offer overnight camp again in the future!

How many counselors will there be?

We will have 14 Junior Counselors, 5 Rotation Leaders/Coordinators and 4 Senior Counselors.

What about field trips? And swimming?

We plan to do both! In the past, field trips have included swimming at Douglass Park, ice skating, and more. We are currently planning all the field trips for the summer and will update parents and guardians once they have been confirmed.

Is lunch included?

Yes. Campers are always welcome to bring their own lunch, however, we will be providing lunch each day. Campers must bring their own lunch on field trip days.

Is bus transportation included?

Yes, transportation is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will run two Girls in the Game buses to pick up campers throughout the city, with three scheduled stops for each bus. Bus stops tend to fill up quickly; if a camper wants to secure a spot on a bus, they should get their registration form and deposit in as soon as possible when registration opens. There is no additional cost to ride the bus.
