Refugee Education & Adventure CHallenge (REACH) is a Chicago nonprofit running adventure camps for refugee youth ages 10–18 and their families. Summer Adventure Camps are day-camp sessions built on adventure sports and outdoor education — biking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, nature hikes, forest restoration, fishing and river clean-ups — and youth can also join girls-only or boys-only overnight tent-camping trips or an extended traditional sleep-away camp with teambuilding, rope skills, bouldering, archery, river tubing and leadership development. The summer ends with a family picnic and awards ceremony. Adventure-Based English instruction is embedded in every session to support young English learners, and former campers return as peer mentors.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check.
