Summer Camps
Summer is made for camp! Camp is where your child can make life-long "best friends," explore new concepts, and be challenged and stretched. At the same time, camp is FUN, interesting, and exciting! At the Rockford Park District's day and resident camps, your child can have an extraordinary camp experience close to home, yet miles away from the ordinary.
