German Summer Camp 2012

The German immersion summer camp will run for five one-week sessions from June 25 –July 27, 2012, five days a week, from 9 am until 3 pm. There will be two groups– one for ages 3-5 and the other for ages 6-10. The camp will take place at the Lycée location, 613 W. Bittersweet Place, at Lake Shore Drive.

Camp activities will include sports, games, crafts, cooking, music, yoga, theater, and much more. The children will spend as much time as possible outside, on the Lycée grounds, at the beach, and in the playgrounds and fields of Lincoln Park just across the street.

There are also two weekly field trips, one to the beach and one to various places around Chicago such as a water park, the zoo, and a bowling alley. Our teachers will incorporate grammar and vocabulary-building strategies into all activities so that the children will be improving their German as they play. Tuition is yet to be announced ($370 in 2011), but includes t-shirts, snacks, catered lunch and all field trip expenses. There is also before and after camp care available from 8-9 am and 3-5:30 pm for an additional charge.

We hope you will consider sending your children to this wonderful program. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Karen Irvine at 312.369.7707 (w), karen2irvine@hotmail.com, or Jacques Fournier, Head of After School Programs at the Lycée, at 773.665-0066 x13 or jfournier@lyceechicago.org.
