"Camp Over" is happening again this summer!
We are so excited for this Forge Favorite overnight camp experience for your 11-14 year-old camper!
Spend 2 nights and 3 days with us, utilizing the 300+ acres of land we have at The Forge: Lemont Quarries and the surrounding area. Campers will spend their days doing Forge activities, specifically designed programming to foster leadership and teamwork, cooking breakfast, preparing dinner and creating memories with friends around the nightly campfire. Nighttime fun consists of unique activities only available to Camp Over campers- see schedule below. We love to maintain the element of surprise, so we won't spoil everything we have planned!
Disclaimer: Mandatory parent meeting after camper check in on June 30, 2025. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure your camper has packed all appropriate items for the next three days as well as a deep dive of rules and expectations and able to answer any questions.
Campers will be hiking, fishing, birding, bouldering, ziplining, slingshot, slacklines, exploring creepy crawlers & animal habitats, nature art, compass reading, woods awareness, storytelling, games and more!
