Summer provides a precious opportunity for children, (beginning at age 4 through 5th grade), to unwind and relish moments of joy with friends! At Pilgrim Quest Summer Camp, each day is thoughtfully designed to strike a balance between organized activities and free-spirited exploration with arts, sports, and special activities that cater to diverse interests. As part of our specially-curated “theme weeks,” we also plan field trips to captivating destinations and invite occasional on-site guests, who bring unique skills and experiences.
In 2024, Pilgrim Campers enjoyed a summer filled with thrilling adventures, from exploring dinosaurs at the Field Museum and touring Lake Michigan on a Sea Dog cruise, to visiting Wrigley Field and picking strawberries at Thompson’s Farm. They also unleashed their creativity through engaging games, art projects, and STEM experiments. Campers made new friends, learned valuable skills, and gained confidence as they stepped out of their comfort zones.
Pilgrim Quest Summer Camp 2025 is launching soon! In the meantime, please email Heather Sexton at communications@pilgrimchicago.org to receive email notification when registration kicks off.

Business Review
“I couldn't stop raving about how amazing this camp is! There are so many planned activities for the kids, and it was one of the more affordable options for camps in the area."
"I think it's far more enriching than Chicago Park District options, and more affordable than other specialty camps."
“It was reasonably priced with great activities and field trips, as well as a ton of scheduling flexibility! Plus, it's at Pilgrim - a place my child is familiar with and feels safe and comfortable."
"Camp Director Kelly and the counselors were attentive, caring, and so much fun!"
