Camp KEEN
For our summer programs, we focus on special event base camp themed programming instead of our regular indoor schedule. Camp KEEN runs June-August.
Participants must be registered for programs they are attending. No drop-ins allowed.
We have prepared a summer of fun and can't wait for our 2025 Camp KEEN events!
For our typical September-May offerings, view our current schedule page.
Questions? Email Jeff at JUnderwood@keenchicago.org.
An outline of our summer schedule is below. Registration will be available in mid-May.
To view the full summer schedule in calendar format, visit our current schedule page.
Some programs have limited capacities. We will do our best to allocate spaces fairly, however, we will not be able to accommodate all program requests.
