Shark Camp

There is a one-time non-refundable registration fee per child per summer.

You have the option to purchase lunch from the club or bring your own.

Please note that if you are not a member of The Lake Forest Club, you must be sponsored and accompanied by a member in order for your child to attend camp. Guests must attend on the same days as their sponsoring member.  Guests of Members may attend a maximum of 2 weeks per summer and may only be sponsored by 1 Club Member per summer.  Thank you for your adherence to this Club Policy. 

Multiple Child Discount

We will be happy to extend a 10% tuition discount to those families enrolling 2 siblings in the same week(s).  Please use the following discount code during online registration to take advantage of this savings: LFSIB 

All campers must be at least 3 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle an active program.

Each day of camp will be a new and exciting experience for our campers as no two days with KE Camps are exactly alike!  Our days begin with Hello Camp, a morning meeting of sorts where, through an assortment of organized activities, campers and staff get to know each other, review the day’s schedule and sing our special camp song! Similarly, we will end our days with Goodbye Camp, a time for wrap-up activities and reflections, SMILE Bands, snacks, and “see you later’s”.   The bulk of camp will be spent participating in a wide variety of activities throughout the day that may include:

You have the option to purchase a kid-friendly lunch provided by the club for $30 per week.  If you would like to purchase this optional lunch, you can do so at the time of enrollment.  Otherwise, you are welcome to pack a lunch for your child in a cooler or backpack.  Regardless of which lunch option you choose, all campers will receive an afternoon snack provided by the club. 

*Half-Day Campers:  The Half-Day program technically ends at 12:30PM, right before our lunch period.  Should you want your child to eat lunch at camp, he or she may stay for the lunch period which is 12:30PM – 1:00PM.  You may either purchase the lunch provided by the club or bring your own.  Please inform your Camp Director if you plan to have your child stay to eat.

Please note that we are a “Nut Aware” camp.  We ask that you do not send your child with any food that contains nuts.  PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INFORM US IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY FOOD ALLERGIES OR DIETARY RESTRICTIONS.

Campers should dress in comfortable shorts, t-shirt and sneakers each day.

Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home.  Camp is a place to un-plug! Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:

Registration for Summer 2022 is open to Club Members and their Accompanied Guests.  Registration will continue until we are full. You must be enrolled in advance, however, in order to attend camp. We are happy to accept online registrations up until the night before the start of each week of camp, provided that space is available.

Full payment is due upon registration. We accept ACH Payments and American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover.  We encourage all families to pay via ACH as all credit card transactions will be subject to a 2.5% surcharge to offset the cost of credit card processing.

If your child has special needs or will require extra assistance while at camp, please contact us before you enroll to discuss!

All requests for cancellations or changes must be made in writing to our office via email at info@kecamps.com. Cancellations made by June 12, 2022 will be refunded in full (less the registration fee).   After that, there are no refunds. We will, however, always offer a credit towards a future week (if space is available) or for next summer.

Don’t forget to take a look at the important camp forms below.

Dear Camp Families, 

I don’t know about you, but when I look outside and see that rainy spring weather it gets me thinking of one thing…I can’t wait for bright shiny days when we all get to be at camp! My name is Johnathan Brenner and I’m going to be the director of Shark Camp at the Lake Forest Club for the 2022 summer season. While this is my first year here, I’ve been working with children for my entire career! Currently, I am a school psychologist/ administrator and have master’s degrees in Educational Psychology and Educational Leadership. I love working with children of all ages, watching them grow and learn, and helping them achieve their goals. 

I have three children (humans) and three fur babies (dogs) at home and enjoy spending as much time with both as I can. I love watching and playing sports - baseball is my favorite! Going to camp was always my favorite thing about summer when I was growing up. 

This summer is going to be great and I’m looking forward to meeting every one of you! I am so excited to watch the campers learn and grow and I am always available for questions, concerns or to share how much fun everyone is having! 

Looking forward to the best summer ever!  

Johnathan Brenner
