Where is Oasis Summer Day Camp located?
Oasis is conveniently located in Winnetka, Illinois on a 3.5-acre lot at the corner of Linden Street, Hill Road, and Ridge Avenue. We meet and greet outside the gymnasium. Our address is:
180 Ridge Avenue
Winnetka, Illinois 60093
How many weeks can my camper attend?
For the full Oasis experience, most children attend the full nine weeks of camp. However, you may choose from our flexible three-week sessions to accommodate a busy summer schedule.
My son/daughter is coming to Oasis with a friend. Will they be able to be in a group together?
We put forth a lot of effort accommodating campers and parents. We do our best to honor friendship requests. Campers are organized according to age, gender, and interests.
Is your staff qualified to work with children?
Yes, all staff members are highly qualified. On-site staff members include the owners of Oasis, directors, professionals in the education or recreation field, and/or college students. All employees are CPR certified and given background checks.
Will there be enough staff members to keep my child safe?
Yes. Oasis prides itself on having a low staff-to-camper ratio of 1:5. All staff members are CPR certified and responsive to camper needs.
Are activities and sports competitive?
Oasis creates a noncompetitive atmosphere where winners are determined by participating, showing good sportsmanship, and having fun. Much of our day is spent on field trips, at pools and water parks, visiting with enthralling special guests, creating works of art, dressing up for themed days, and participating in team building events. Though sports are a part of Oasis we are a lot more than a sports camp.
What are my transportation options?
At this time campers must be dropped off and picked up by a parent, guardian, or caregiver. Drop off times are from 8:00-9:00 am and pick up times are from 3:30-5:30 pm. On Fridays pick up is from 3:45-5:30.
How do you travel to your awesome trips?
Oasis hires a professional busing company with licensed drivers. All buses have air-conditioning and seat belts.
Do I need to pack a lunch with my camper each day?
For your convenience, Oasis has partnered with Green Bag Lunch to offer individually catered, balanced, and eco-friendly lunches delivered fresh to your camper. For more information about this option go to: www.greenbaglunch.com. Campers may bring bagged lunches from home on a daily basis. We also provide lunch every Friday as part of our weekly themes and on several field trips. Friday lunches are included with tuition.
