Quality Staff

Our camp staff are highly experienced and enthusiastic. The majority of our staff works with children year-round in our School Age Programs, which provide continuity for our campers and families. We have additional summer staff who are teachers or college students with child related experiences. Staff receives training in first aid, CPR, water safety, food handling, as well as thorough training on camp procedures, and the most up to date basic health and safety protocols

 

Camp Groups

Campers are placed in small groups with at least 2 camp counselors. Groups are divided by the grade campers just recently completed. Once campers have completed 3rd grade, groups are divided into boy and girl groups to allow counselors to plan group activities geared toward special interests of the group. During group time, campers participate in age appropriate arts & crafts, sports, and various creative & enrichment activities. Camp calendars, weekly lesson plans, and newsletters will be emailed to families.

Swimming WELCOME BACK!!

Campers will attend Glenview Park District pools for public swim time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Tuition and registration fee covers swimming fees for our camp. To ensure your child’s safety, counselors receive basic water safety training. Campers are tested by Glenview Park District Lifeguards and the Wesley Director &/or Site Directors to evaluate their swimming ability. Each camper will be given designated pool areas to play in and around. Campers who are non-swimmers or those who do not pass the swim test will be required to wear life vests (provided by Wesley and/or Glenview Park District) and play in water no more than waist deep and within arm’s length of their counselor. Our counselors and lifeguards are strategically placed in and around the pools and the campers.
Swim lessons are available and optional. Wesley Campers are provided an opportunity to register for the Glenview Park District group swim lessons. Wesley will bus campers to and from swim lessons. Swim lessons will be held on Monday and Wednesday mornings for six weeks. More details on swim lessons will be sent out in the spring.
