No Summer Slide
Kids come back to school in the fall without the usual months of lost ground — because they never really stopped learning.
Summer Camp · Ages 5–12
Summer Camp in Buffalo Grove
A multilingual summer camp in Buffalo Grove where kids keep learning without noticing — mental math, languages, art and coding, mixed with games, projects and friends. Weekly and daily options.
What your child gains
Real, lasting skills — not just a fun afternoon.
A Real Mix of Subjects
Mental math one block, art the next, then coding or language — the variety is what keeps a whole day interesting.
Friends, Not Just Classmates
Small groups over full days is how camp friendships actually form, and a lot of our camp kids stay on into the school year.
Three Languages All Day
English, Russian and Ukrainian all week — the easiest immersion a child will ever get, because nobody is being quizzed.
Projects They Take Home
Every week builds toward something finished — a drawing, a small game, a story — so there is proof of the week, not just a report.
Built for Working Parents
Full days, weekly or daily booking, and the same teachers your child already knows from the school year.

Ages 5–7
Ages 8–10
Ages 11–12
No experience needed — camp is where a lot of families start with us. Groups are set by age, and every activity has a beginner path.
How classes work
Simple, steady, and built around your child.
1
Small groups
Children learn in small groups of a similar age and level, so every child gets real attention every single week.
2
Weekly classes
Consistent weekly lessons build the habit and momentum that make new skills actually stick.
3
Practice & support
Short, friendly at-home practice plus regular teacher feedback keeps progress moving between classes.
4
Progress over time
We track each child's growth and adjust the pace — so they're always challenged, never overwhelmed.

Frequently asked questions
Camp groups run from about age 5 to 12, split by age so activities land at the right level. If your child is close to the edge of a group, tell us their age and we'll place them where they'll do best.
Yes. Sessions are booked by the week, and most weeks also offer daily drop-in — so you can fit camp around vacations rather than the other way round.
Days are built in blocks: focused learning in the morning when kids are freshest, then art, projects, games and outside time. Exact hours are listed on each session below.
English, Russian and Ukrainian, all day. Our teachers work in all three, so children hear and use them naturally instead of sitting through a language lesson.
Bring a packed lunch and a water bottle. Anything else a specific week needs — art shirts, outdoor gear — is listed on that session's page.
Not at all. Camp is one of the most common ways families meet us for the first time, and a good number of camp kids continue into weekly classes afterwards.
