C JU

Cornflakes Staff This unique outdoor-based camp offers a combination of creative activities and educational experiences for children ages 33 months through six years of age. Our goal at Cornflakes is to develop the whole child and to treat each child as an individual. Children are encouraged to explore their outdoor world through developmentally appropriate activities. The outdoor approach helps to increase each child’s awareness, enjoyment and respect for nature. Daily activities may include adventure walks down the Green Bay Trail, water play at Maple Beach and arts and crafts. Each week culminates with a special event. The staff help foster positive self concept by providing opportunities for achieving success and developing a child’s creativity and use of problem-solving. Each participant will attend a weekly ceramics lesson in our state-ofthe-art ceramics studio.

Counselors are college age or older.

Children must be toilet trained by the first day of camp.

Children who sign up for the extended day program must bring a lunch and drink.

SPORTS CAMPS Chicago Bulls Basketball Schools Bulls/Sox Academy This summer, learn from the best and let the Chicago Bulls teach you how to play like a champion! Since 1999, the Chicago Bulls have brought quality basketball camps to boys and girls throughout Chicagoland. More than 45,000 youth basketball players have developed essential basketball fundamentals including ball handling, passing, shooting, rebounding, individual moves, footwork and team concepts. We work on every part of your child’s game. Student to instructor ratio will be 10:1 or less.

During the camp each player will compete in the Bulls Skills Competition. At the end of the summer, the top three contestants will compete in the finals on the floor of the United Center (date TBD). Each camper will receive a Chicago Bulls duffel bag, Bulls indoor/outdoor basketball, shirt, evaluation report and graduation certificate.

Each camp participant, along with one guest, will be invited to the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls, for a Q&A session with a Bulls personality and a current or former Bulls player!

The rookie camp is a beginner camp focused on building fundamentals and fun drills to get the children to understand the game and improve their play. For children in the Veteran camp, coaches work on the team concept and refining and advancing the skills for the serious or soon-to-be serious player.
