School Day Off Camps Near Chicago, IL and Austin, TX

When school's out, keep your kids active and engaged with Hot Ground Gym's no-school day camps! Not your average summer camp, our Chicago day-off camps follow a training methodology pioneered by military veterans but designed for kids. Our obstacle-based fitness and challenging team-building activities strengthen kids' bodies and characters. Our fun day-off school camps will give your child a mental and physical workout and leave them wanting to explore, learn, and play more.

We understand that some kids may be hesitant to join a new group. That's why we have a 'firm, but gentle' approach that helps build confidence and create a sense of belonging. We'll work with each child to help them feel comfortable and successful.

With flexible enrollment options in Libertyville and Arlington Heights, it’s easy to register your child for a single day or the whole break. Whether you're seeking a President's Day camp to productively occupy your child on their day off or Thanksgiving break camps to make the most of the holiday and create lasting friendships with new friends, Hot Ground Gym camps make the most of days off from school!

Our school's out programs are great for boys and girls ages 6 to 14 years old looking to get new skills and discover fun ways to learn. Our day-off camps in Chicago offer families a unique blend of learning and growth combined with adventure and fun. We don't necessarily divide the groups by age. Instead, we place children of all ages together in groups, encouraging the older ones to lead.

We believe this nurtures efficient teamwork whereby kids and their peers negotiate their strengths and weaknesses to complete challenges. Hot Ground Gym makes kids work together to overcome their fears and achieve a sense of communal accomplishment. Regardless of age, they're bound to have a good time while their parents relax or at work.
