Camp Mathieu
The Club’s very own Camp Mathieu is a 30 acre summer haven located 30 miles from Chicago. Our kids enjoy swimming, camping, sports, games, arts and crafts, boating and nature study. Plus, we provide leadership training for our teen counselors. Campers attend in one-week sessions, and the program runs for eight weeks each summer. All in all, the Camp allows the kids to enjoy a place a world away from the dangers of the city.
Our Day Camp gives the kids a safe place to go during the summer when crime in the neighborhood is at its peak. We have day-long fun, interesting and educational activities for the kids to participate in including multiple field trips to Chicago-area attractions and trips to Camp Mathieu each week. Campers sign up for four-week sessions, and the camp runs two sessions each summer.
