Summer Camp

Unleash the Fun in the Sun!

GTK Camp is back for summer 2026!

At Game Time Kids Camp, our one-of-a-kind activities and classic sports come together to spark creativity, build problem-solving skills, and deliver unforgettable, high-energy fun. Camp is led by owner, Miles Friedman, with a cadre of seasoned, passionate Game Time Kids counselors and P.E. teacher directors.

Who: Incoming 1st – incoming 6th graders + C.I.T program

Where: Camp will be at Trinity Church in Wilmette and Winnetka Bible Church in Winnetka on different weeks. A full breakdown of weekly locations and cost is below.

Time: 9am – 2:30pm

Unmatched Activities

Camp features our signature adrenaline-pumping activities, alongside traditional sports and water action. From fresh twists on classics like dodgeball battles with homemade shields, egg-drop challenges with Monopoly money budgets, and all-camp team hide and seek to our own original games and themes like trick-shot videos, real-life Among Us, Olympic showdowns, Slip & Slide March Madness, and kids battling as ancient empires in our Return of Nations competition, every day is action packed.

A director leads each activity, maintaining safety, and fueling the excitement, while group counselors focus on fun, energy, and connecting with every kid. Plus, each week, campers earn GTK gold cashing it in for fan-favorite prizes like pie a counselor in the face!

The GTK Community

At GTK Camp, we foster a true community where every child feels included and part of something bigger. With under 50 campers, small groups separated by age, and a 6:1 counselor ratio, each camper feels center-stage.

Borrowing from the magic of an overnight camp experience, we feature former campers on staff, shared chants, mixed-age activities, campers teaming up with counselors, and our GTK Hall of Fame for 3-year campers. Our carefully selected high school and college counselors bring the full spirit and energy of GTK; engaging in every activity with genuine excitement, forming strong bonds with the kids, and serving as role models.

C.I.T Program

The GTK C.I.T. program gives younger teens a chance to step into a leadership role, helping counselors run activities and lead groups—while still getting in on the fun.

Hear it from the camp parents!

“My son, who was a rising 3rd grader last summer, could not get enough of GTK summer camp! The camp put together the perfect mix of activities: Original games I’ve never heard of and my son can’t stop talking about, classic sports, and my child’s favorite, “trick-shot” events. Parents get real time updates from camp as well as fun photos and videos. From the kids perspective, Miles and the counselors are simply the coolest! I feel great about my kids spending time at GTK and having great teenage role models!”

Laura K.

My son has just LOVED GTK camp. June is always a very hard month for him but GTK camp gave him so much joy. You create an experience where every camper feels they belong, are celebrated and can be themselves. The counselors are amazing, organized, hold a great standard and keep the kids safe. The activities you created are just epic. My son came home the first day asking if he could do GTK camp every summer.”

“My kids just love Game Time Kids Camp and activities! Their favorite camp games are real life among us and ultimate hide and seek. All of the activities are so unique and imaginative. It’s childhood at its best.”
