House in
the Wood is a resident co-ed summer camp serving urban
children from Chicago. Our campers range from ages seven through
twelve with a mentor 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.
House in the Wood
is also an
Outdoor Education Center for Chicago school groups February through May.
We are currently working with Rowe Elementary Charter School to
provide their third, fourth, sixth and eighth grade with with a one week
residential education curriculum. Our curriculum focuses on
math, science and the social/emotional skills necessary to
succeed academically.

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. The
revenue from this operation helps support our mission.
