A full-day summer day camp run by the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, a nonprofit in Chicago's Hyde Park, for children ages 5-14. Days (9 a.m.-3 p.m.) mix recreational sports, arts and crafts, gardening and environmental education, cooking, and swimming, with twice-weekly swim lessons at the University of Chicago's Ratner Pool. Field trips include neighborhood parks, Cook County Forest Preserves, and 57th Street Beach.

Powered by GoogleI called today to inquire on status of application for summer camp and the front person that I spoke with very rude and inconsiderate of my intent to follow up. First impressions are everything and that alone has me looking for other options. Its funny because they are very kind when asking for donations.
An absolutely essential and incredible neighborhood resource, community center, athletic facility (basketball court), and day care! My family has been part of the HPNC community for many years and will continue to be for many to come! The after school programs, summer camp, day care, are all fantastic. The recent improvements both to the facilities and the logistics have been very positive and we look forward to seeing the community grow!
I love this place. They have so many classes and activities for little kids. They also have a great gym with fun toys. It's a great place to meet other parents, too.
The HPNC is a community staple ran by caring and committed people. My child participates in the After School Program. This program is very accommodating and robust while at the same time, child-centered. Children get an opportunity to be with other young people from a variety of schools while exploring nature, developing social emotional skills, and getting academic support. I recommend this program to parents who are looking for a warm, supportive environment for their child.
I had a season pass here. Love the concept, friendly staff, clean facilities. In terms of navigating changes in schedules or programs or helping customers navigate these things, there is a lot to be desired. I loved bringing kiddos here and letting them play. I also think the other families and kids are pleasant. I still love coming here but refuse to prepay for service until right when I’m about to receive it, in the event that what I’m paying for changes or becomes unavailable.
