House in
the Wood Camp is a resident co-ed summer camp serving urban
children from Chicago. Our campers range from ages seven through
twelve with a leadership program for our thirteen to seventeen year
olds. They represent a cross section of Chicago’s diverse
population. In addition to enjoying our outdoor and waterfront
programs, our campers learn a variety of essential social and
living skills.
During the
off-season, House in the Wood operates as a conference and
retreat center. The revenue from this operation helps support
our summer camp. Each of our rental groups has exclusive use of
our entire campus. They can customize their rental to meet their
specific needs, choosing from a variety of living and meeting
options. Food service is available and has been highly rated by
our guests. Standard and vegetarian menus are available.
House In
The Wood is operated by Northwestern University Settlement in
Chicago, Illinois. Our main sponsor is the North Shore Board of
the Settlement.
