SEATTLE DAY CAMP

SATURDAY, September 17, 2022

Welcome to Midwestern Paradise

Located just 45 minutes from Chicago in Lake Zurich, IL, Camp Chi’s day camp property offers the serenity of a countryside getaway with the amenities of a first-rate summer camp. Our home away from home is nestled on 37 sunny acres teeming with adventure and Midwestern charm. Among the sprawling fields, you’ll find two large heated pools, a zipline to soar through the sky, beach volleyball, fire pits for gourmet s’mores, and all the sporting accouterments to turn open fields into athletic battlegrounds. The day is filled with capture the flag, arts ‘n’ crafts, color war, a magical Havdalah experience, culinary adventures, pool parties, silent disco, and so much more. Our Chicago Day Camp is the perfect mini escape to connect with new friends while disconnecting from the real world. The experience is yours to make what you want of it.

GETTING TO CAMP

Camp Kalsman is located in Lake Zurich, IL:

​

  • 45 minutes from Chicago

  • 1 hour from Milwaukee

  • 15 minutes from O'Hare International Airport

Get out of the city stress-free by joining the free Camp Bus from Chicago. Buses will be departing from three locations in the city: Lakeview, Logan Square, and River North. Parking passes will be available for an additional fee.

​

We STRONGLY encourage everyone to take the bus. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it's the best way to meet people before the day begins. It also makes sure you arrive on time and, after a long day of fun, we'll help you get home safely. Those who drive will not be served alcohol after 7:00 pm.

 

A number of inexpensive hotels are in the area for those who live farther away and wish to spent the night nearby.

We arrived as strangers but left as a new Trybal Community. It was unlike any camp experience I’ve ever had and I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of it. The staff was incredible, the programming was creative and the environment was everything I hoped it would be.
