Fox Valley Christian Action
Fox Valley Christian Action, also known as Riverwoods, has run free summer camps on its wooded campus in St. Charles, Illinois since 1977, for children in grades 1-6 who qualify for free or reduced lunch and live in the U-46, D300, D129 or D131 school districts, or who are invited through a partner ministry. Overnight camp runs Sunday to Friday with canoeing, biking, swimming, nature walks, sports, arts and crafts, three meals a day and daily chapel; a five-day day camp with lunch included serves campers not ready to sleep away from home, and a two-week CORE program serves middle schoolers. FVCA buses campers to and from designated community pick-up points at no charge. The camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, states a group size of no more than about seven campers per staff member, and its programming is explicitly Christ-centred.

★★★★★CORPSEI love FVCA, I’ve been since I was in 3rd grade and now I’m going into 7th and I’m leaving to go today :) (July 28th 2024) the field trips at the end of the weeks are fun, it switched off between the water park and the zoo, everything was good I would give a 4.5 because one thing one a few girls were being mean last year and the water was cold😬 but I think it was just that year 😅 but their food is also good, AND IF YOU GO THERE BRING THE BUG SPRAY I’m not a resident of Fox Valley but I was in the waiting list and I just hope to see some familiar faces 😃 I wrote this review because so other parents could picture the fun things at this camp! Edit: hey I’m kinda late but when I got back (August 4th 2024) I had a great time, I met a boy I absolutely liked 🫣😅 his name was Ashton (AJ) and he liked basketball, and some girl got jealous but I didn’t care, I asked for his number but he said no 😭 but still it was really 🤩
★★★★★Rosanna PerrinoI had 4 kiddos go to camp, 2 adopted kiddos and 2 foster kiddos. They had so much fun and loved everyone. The weather was not the greatest last week, but they never once even complained about that. They loved their counselors and the new friends they made. They wanted to return this week to do it all over again!!! Thank you for the wonderful memories you gave to my kiddos.
★★★★★Halie HowellsWe recently used FVCA for a business gathering. The staff was great to work with and the facility is incredible. Everything was smooth-- easy parking, access to restroom, plenty of space/tables/seating, projector/sound available with all the necessary hookups. It was a breeze. This place is a gem! Highly recommend!
