Camp Lunches
All of our camps are peanut-free; if sending your child to camp with a snack or sack lunch, please make certain that it does not contain peanut products.
Catered Lunch Service
- The Wilmette Park District partners with Kiddos Catering to provide lunch service to select camps. Food choices are from several excellent restaurants in the Wilmette area. Lunches are delivered directly to your child’s camp. A portion of the proceeds from this program will be donated to the Wilmette Park District Family Scholarship program.

Camp Friend Requests
Camp is a great opportunity to make new friends! We do not accept requests to place your child’s friend in the same group as your child. There are ample opportunities for each child to be with their friends, old and new, during the camp day, even if they are not in the same group. Our camp groups are designed for the safety of all children, and are based on camper-to-staff supervision ratios. Thank you for understanding.

When you register for a camp, we will request the appropriate information to process the May 12 auto-debit.

Camp Refund Policy
We will refund 100% of the fee paid any time prior to two weeks before the start of the program. Under two weeks of a program’s start date, we will refund your fee paid, less a 10% surcharge, up to a maximum of $75. After the start of a program, a prorated refund for the remaining classes will be issued, less a 10% surcharge with no maximum limit. This policy is strictly enforced to allow completion of camp preparations, ranging from staff hiring, camper groupings and supply purchasing to informational mailings. Your understanding is deeply appreciated.
