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 are ready for a summer of fun! Summer 2025 registration has now closed! All summer enrollments will be confirmed via email by June 10.
Questions? Email 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.
