As a kid, I spent summers soaking up the sun at Lion’s Club Pool, taking a family road trip, and enjoying many summer camps and programs at my local park district. As the fourth of five children, summer was a well-rehearsed recipe of structured programming sprinkled with lazy afternoons that seemed to last forever. It was a magical time filled with so many memories. As an adult, summer flies by in the blink of an eye and now my own kids are enjoying the fun, although my parents did not have to battle with smartphones.

At The Community House, we want YOUR summer to be filled with those special moments and long-lasting memories. Our creative and talented staff has listened to your input and created this recipe book of opportunities for kids, families, adults, and seniors to have a place to engage, to play and to learn, sometimes for just an hour, sometimes for the entire day, and for some the whole summer long. We know kids can grow and learn so much when they can experience unstructured time during summer break, and we believe that life is enhanced by the joy of having unique, shared experiences as a community. Whether it is our signature full-day summer camp, the arts camp series, more than a dozen different sports, or learning a skill (chess, drawing, dance, baking, relaxation, jewelry design, babysitter certification, and so much more)-we know there is something for your family to enjoy. I hope The Community House can be a part of your magical summer and that you stop by to enjoy what we have cooked up to build your summer memories- all the right ingredients are right here inside this guide.
