C.W. AVERY Family YMCA Camp CARES
INVESTING IN OUR YOUTH
Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 is pleased to offer Camp CARES at no cost for students in grades K-8. Camp CARES is made possible thanks to federal grant dollars received through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, which was established to address the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Summer's Cooler at the YMCA
District 202 is excited to once again be teaming up with the C.W. Avery Family YMCA this summer to provide free half-day summer camps for students in grades K-8. Designed to support students’ social emotional learning, campers will enjoy up to four weeks of summer fun full of youth enrichment activities, outdoor exploration, teambuilding, recreation, arts and crafts, and more.
PLEASE NOTE: YMCA Camp CARES locations are now now full. Families can still register to be placed on a waitlist, should spots open up. We apologize for any inconvenience.
