At Together We Camp, we dance. We meditate. We paint. We cook. We perform. We crack jokes.
Above all, we empower kids to lead the way.

Take a look at our sample schedule:
Together We Camp
We’re taking a brief hiatus but we will be back in August!
August 10th - August 28th • Monday-Friday
Built for 1st Graders - 6th Graders
With only light guidance from caregivers, Together We Camp empowers kids to take their agendas and hit the ground running. From stuffing their mouths with as many marshmallows as possible to meditating in a patch of sunshine, each day strikes of new balance of virtual and old-fashioned fun.
Created by Chicago’s top enrichment providers, we’ve designed this virtual camp to require as little parent participation as possible.
Just set your kids up and then set them free, they can handle this.
When you sign-up for a week with Together We Camp, you can expect a diverse set of live and at-your-own pace activities that bring your favorite parts of summer home to your living room. Here, there will be:
NO summer school vibes
NO homeworky assignments
NO costly or difficult-to-source supplies
Just good old-fashioned summer fun!
What are our families saying about Together We Camp?
“I wanted to say thank you! You guys made a difficult situation FUN! My son has been having a blast so far. I keep forgetting to take photos of the food he has made before we eat them. Thank you so much! He has even started to do his own art work and I think it is because of this camp!”
'“I want you to know that you are bit-by-bit restoring my kids’ faith in online classes, which rapidly declined in the early days of lock-down. Since we are not yet out of the woods, it’s still important work. What I am overhearing is heartwarming, how much enthusiasm you are putting forth. My kids had lost interest in art, and are now making a huge painting mess in my basement. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.”
