Summer Camps in Evanston, Illinois

Evanston's summer camp scene perfectly blends big-university resources with small-town charm, creating an exceptional variety of opportunities for kids. With Northwestern University's world-class facilities anchoring many programs, you'll find everything from elite sports training to innovative STEM workshops. The lakefront location adds a unique dimension, with Northwestern's Sailing Center offering popular sailing and windsurfing camps that take full advantage of Lake Michigan's waters.

Beyond athletics, the city boasts a thriving arts scene, where places like the Chicago Industrial Arts & Design Center run unique programs in metalworking and digital fabrication - activities you won't find at typical summer camps. What's particularly appealing is the price point - with most camps ranging between $200-400 per session, these high-quality programs remain surprisingly accessible for many families.
