Winter Break Camps - Keep Kids Active During the Holiday Break!

The Glen Ellyn Park District is proud to introduce several Winter Break Camps to keep kids active and occupied over the holiday. Camps are available for children ages 4 to 10.

If your child loves the world of sports, then don’t miss the opportunity to expose your child to various sports at the Pee Wee Sportsters Camp (Age 4-6) or Young Sportsters Camp (Age 7-9). Participants will learn the fundamentals of basketball, baseball, kickball, soccer and more. Organized games emphasize sportsmanship, sharing and teamwork.

Does your child love basketball? Basketball Skills Camp (Age 7-9) is a fun and instructional basketball experience that will help boys and girls improve their dribbling, passing, shooting and rebounding. Participants will also learn the proper defensive stance, practice zone defense, and experience man-to-man defense through challenging drills and structured games.
