SUMMER CAMPS
SUMMER IN THE CITY JUST GOT BETTER—AND SAFER!
For you, it’s about keeping your child active, healthy and happy. For them, it means no school, lots of fun and sports. Hi-Five Sports Camp is a sports camp dedicated to a full menu of team sports designed for children from pre-K to 8th grade. Hi-Five Sports Camp is about so much more than winning and losing – it is about teamwork, playing hard and playing fair. And it is about making new buddies and enjoying the camaraderie. A camp that is as encouraging as it is challenging. As safe as it is high-energy. And as instructional as it is fun.

SUMMER CAMP CALENDAR
OUR 8-WEEK SUMMER CAMP RUNS MONDAY – FRIDAY (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM)
Hi Five Sports Mt. Prospect is excited to be your home away from home with our legendary Summer Camp Experience at St. Alphonsus Church & School. Our coaching staff is experienced, patient, and passionate about sports and coaching each camper! At the start of each week, our coaching staff will divide each camper into balanced teams based on their age. Each week, campers will have the opportunity to learn about and compete in a wide variety of sports such as: basketball, baseball, soccer, flag football, gaga ball, handball, and so much more!
8:30 AM – 9:00 AM PRE-CAMP FREE TIME
Camper drop off & check in! All campers will be required to check in every morning. A member of the coaching staff will take attendance and all hot lunch orders at this time.

9:00 AM – 9:20 AM – MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS & TEAM FLAG AREA MEETINGS
Coaches will discuss all morning announcements to the entire group of campers to discuss our Hi Five Rules, theme of each day, and most importantly, our Hi Five Value of the Day!

Coaches will lead the first activity of the day. For each activity, our coaches will introduce sport specific drills to introduce, teach, and develop a certain aspect of each sport.

What happens if my child sustains an injury at camp?
If an injury occurs, campers will be brought to our on-staff certified athletic trainer. If not too serious, once the injury is dealt with, the trainer will call the parents to notify them of the injury. If serious, Hi-Five will call 911.
Is Hi-Five only about sports and competition?
Heck no! We provide a safe, encouraging and fun environment in which children can experience sports. We strive to make Hi-Five an experience filled with high-energy and positivity. We believe athletics builds confidence and ultimately provides a focus that is important all through life. In addition to sports, we have talent shows, Halloween in July, and all sorts of fun, engaging activities for your camper to enjoy.
Where and when does my child get picked up and dropped off from the bus?
Once you have signed up for Hi-Five Chicago’s bus service, you will be provided with a drop off and pickup cluster stop.
Is there an After Camp Program?
Yes, the After Camp program operates from 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm.
Will there be field trips?
In a typical year, yes. We go to water parks, trampoline parks, baseball games, bowling alleys, etc. Last summer, we were able to go on most of our favorite field trips. However, we will have to wait and see what the status of the pandemic is by the time camp rolls around. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to bring the kids to our favorite field trip spots. If we are not able to, we are already planning on how to bring the field trip experience right to camp.
Is there a lunch program available?
The Hi-Five Hot Lunch Program offers campers individual meals catered by Chicago’s favorites like Fontano’s Subs, Popeye’s, Taco Bell, Buona Beef, and Lou Malnati’s. And every week ends with the famous Hi-Five Friday cookout. In addition, we offer a healthy and balanced menu of basics like WOW Butter (contains no peanuts) and jelly, bagels and cream cheese, plus fresh fruits every single day. So in addition to the catered meal, there are also many other healthy options to choose from. Of course, campers are welcome to bring their own lunches any time; refrigeration is available.
Can you customize your weeks?
Yes, you can. You can choose to go any combination of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 weeks.
What do the campers do during inclement weather?
We have great indoor facilities including an air-conditioned cafeteria, classrooms, gymnasiums and a theater! These great facilities allow us to continue the majority of our daily activities even in the event of rain or extreme heat. We may plan some off-camp activities in the event of rain as well.
What if my child has allergies or necessary medication?
Campers taking medication must have a signed medical authorization form. Please send the medication with your child on the first day of camp. Our on-staff Certified Athletic Trainer will keep it for the summer and administer it per your authorization. Please CLEARLY LABEL all medication.
