Are you looking for a safe, fun and action-packed day at camp? NEW this year, Pathfinders is moving to DuPage River Sports Complex! Committed to the “Leave No Child Inside” national initiative, your camper will enjoy a traditional day camp in one of Naperville’s best parks with 65 acres equipped with basketball courts, a new open-air pavilion and restrooms, softball fields and a skate park. For 27 years, Pathfinders has provided camper’s days filled with swimming, team sports, group games, arts and crafts and weekly field trips. Our energetic counselors have years of experience and quality training to ensure your child has a great camp experience. With extended hours, Pathfinders serves residents of both north and south Naperville with a convenient schedule from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm. Creating memorable summers, that’s the Pathfinders tradition!
Camp Hours – Regular camp drop-off begins at DuPage River Park starting at 9:00 a.m. and pick-up by 4:00 p.m. Extended camp still runs from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm with drop-off and pick-up at Central Park (behind the Kroehler Family YMCA). The bus will leave Central Park at 7:45 a.m. and returns at approximately 5:00 p.m.
MORE FUN – Campers will be going on one (1) field trip per week and swim two (2) days per week.
