SOLD OUT — Science Scouts

Have you ever wanted to be Bill Nye the Science Guy? This is your chance! Allerton Park is home to all kinds of biology and chemistry. Let’s investigate the world of science right here in our own backyards. Register 5 to 7-year-olds as Allerton Acorns, while 8 to 12-year-olds are Allerton Adventurers.

Sessions will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 17-21. Registration fees include lunch, two snacks, a T-shirt and all necessary materials and supplies.

Cost is $200 for the week. Add extended days for $15 (7-8 a.m.) or $35 (3-5:30 p.m.).

Register your Acorn (ages 5-7) here.

Register your Adventurer (ages 8-12) here.

There are a limited number of partial Day Camp scholarships available. Download a scholarship application here.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND registering online (Acorns here, Adventurers here), but you can also register in person at the front desk of the Allerton Mansion from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Be sure to check camp availability before submitting registrations in person. Check camp availability on the “Youth” section of our event calendar.

If your camper will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate, please email Olivia at owarren@illinois.edu.

Camps can fill up quickly! If a camp is full, please add your name to the waitlist on the registration page.
