We have already planned our fantastic Trip Around The World "Unpack the Knowledge" 2010 summer camp. It is a wonderful mix of indoor and outdoor physical activity, educational fun, and community involvement! This cultural experience will take your child on a virtual world cruise, that will have them visiting a different "port" each week.

The Children will enjoy a cultural experience that will give them something different to look forward to every day. We will separate the 5-7 year olds in one room, and the older children (8-10 year olds) in another. This will allow the children to enjoy our great schedule, while socializing within an age appropriate program. All lunch and snack food is included!

A specialty within the program is our Language Arts and Math Readiness review on Tuesday and Thursday Morning. We feel 3 months is a long time to be away from the academic setting, so we provide a curriculum which is age appropriate to each group. L.E.C.C. allows the children the enjoyment of outdoor summer excitement, while still providing an air-conditioned learning environment.

On Monday, the children will start their week with an assortment of fun activities. This includes visits to the Libertyville Sports Complex and Twisted Cow. On site moon walks and weekly sign language classes and fishing seminars will give the children something to look forward to.

Each Tuesday will begin with Language Arts class, followed by a cultural visitor from our country of the week. The children will enjoy a visit from a verity of entertainment relating to our weekly theme. Visitors will consist of an assortment  of guests that will bring everything from, dance / movement, costumes, wildlife, and experiences from around the world. 

Wednesday will be action packed as the children will leave L.E.C.C. in the early morning for a field trip on a school bus. We have trips planned to The Rinkside for Ice Skating and Laser Tag, a full morning of fun at a Waterpark, cultural food experiences from local  restaurants,  and our annual trip to the Sea Dog at Navy Pier (to name a few). Each field trip will conclude with a picnic lunch on site and an ice cream treat.. 

In the afternoon, the children will then enjoy swimming lessons at the YMCA. This is not public free swim. We rent the entire indoor pool along with 5 swim instructors and a lifeguard. Our staff is in the water for a 5-1 ratio. Not to worry, as children will be divided into groups based on ability.

Thursday, the fun continues with  Math Readiness class, followed by a trip to the library for our "Readers are Leaders" program. The children continue on a community service project to a local food pantry, mission or nursing facility. After lunch, the children will visit a local water park for outdoor water fun.

Friday, the week concludes with a morning craft class, a chance for children to taste test food from around the world and time to make purchases with "camp bucks" at our "cruise ship" gift shop.
