Summer Is Calling: Rogers Park's Free Youth Programs Are in Full Swing This July
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Rogers Park ·
West Rogers Park families looking to keep kids active, engaged, and off screens this summer have a fantastic resource right in their own backyard. The Chicago Park District's Rogers (Phillip) Park — nestled at 7345 N. Washtenaw Ave. in the heart of West Ridge — is running a packed summer calendar through August 9, and registration is still open for several programs.
Among the highlights is Clubhouse Camp, a full-day summer camp running Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through July 31, designed for kids ages 8 to 12. And for girls specifically, the park's Girls P.L.A.Y. program offers structured, empowering activities that blend recreation, leadership, and community connection. These aren't just programs — they're the kind of neighborhood investments that give West Rogers Park kids a safe, joyful place to grow all summer long.
The park's summer offerings are a testament to the spirit of a community that consistently shows up for its youngest residents. With the broader Far North Side already buzzing with August festivals on the horizon, July at Rogers Park is the perfect time to get kids plugged in locally before the season's big celebrations arrive. Visit chicagoparkdistrict.com or stop by the park at 7345 N. Washtenaw Ave. to learn more about registration, schedules, and how your family can make the most of what's right around the corner.
