Summer Camp Summer Camp at the Old Town School is an enriching, exciting, and educational way for your child to experience the summer in Chicago. The program is specifically crafted for 6-10 year olds, and includes music education, visual arts, theater, dance, movement, social studies, science, history, outdoor play, and more. The summer camp environment is one in which children will learn to think independently, work cooperatively, and discover their own creativity. We encourage the children to work both individually and in groups, thereby learning to appreciate other's skills as well as their own.
