Summer Camps in Champaign, Illinois

Champaign's summer camp scene perfectly blends big-university resources with small-town charm, offering an impressive mix of activities that you won't find in most mid-sized cities. Thanks to the University of Illinois' presence, kids can dive into unique STEM experiences like aerospace engineering camps and 3D printing workshops at the Illinois MakerLab, while still enjoying traditional favorites like gymnastics at I-Power and CGA. What really stands out is the strong academic focus - nearly a third of all camps here emphasize learning, from writing workshops led by published authors to hands-on science experiments at the university's world-class facilities.
