It’s All About Jesus!
Get ready for an unforgettable week at High Five—a high-energy, high-impact, Bible-based day camp designed for kids from preschool through fifth grade! But here’s the best part: whether you’re six, sixteen, or sixty, High Five is for everyone! Dive into an adventure where you can mix and match your favorite activities, try something new, and most importantly, grow in your love for Jesus. It’s faith, fun, and creativity all rolled into one amazing week!
In our culture, a high five has become a simple act to tell someone “Hey, I appreciate you.” At High Five, we stop everything to tell Jesus Christ “We appreciate you.” But we also want to tell each other “I appreciate the way Jesus made you . . . special and unique with purpose.” High Five is a week of worshiping Jesus, a week of finding our true selves exactly how Jesus made us—valuable, precious, honored, unique, special, wanted . . . loved.
Each campus offers its own unique experience, so be sure to look at the information for the campus near you for all the details. You don’t want to miss this incredible week.

High Five is Chicagoland’s premier day camp for everyone.
1) High Five Campers register for the options available based on the grade they will enter in fall 2025. The age a child may attend early childhood programs varies from campus to campus. Please see each campus’ specific page for details.
2) High Five Volunteers are students who have completed fifth grade through adults. Men, women, high school students, college students, grandmas, grandpas, young and old all serve in High Five. Registration is now open. Volunteer discounts are campus-specific.
Student volunteers entering sixth through tenth grade may only serve if they have a parent or guardian who is also serving at High Five or currently serving in Harvest Kids during weekend ministry or Awana. A fee for student volunteers entering grades 6–10 covers a t-shirt, lunch, snacks, and training.
Adults and grandparents who register to work receive a volunteer discount code. Enter that code when you register your children/grandchildren and receive a significant discount on your registration. The discount code is valid for all the children in your family. The volunteer discount varies by campus, so please see the Join Us and Serve Page for your campus.
For campuses offering electives, due to the limited elective size, some electives will be full and close quickly. Volunteer spots fill as well so, register early. Because we provide excellent care for the “most important person in the world to someone,” every volunteer is required to complete a simple but rigorous clearance and training.

How Do High Five Camper Fees Work?
High Five costs between $80-$175 depending on the age of your camper and what each camper designs for his/her day camp experience. You also have the option to purchase an additional t-shirt ($10). The volunteer discount varies by campus, so please see the Join Us and Serve Page for your campus.
High Five is for everyone so if we can serve you with scholarship assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. We invite you to ask early as scholarships are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Scholarship applications are now open and you can request assistance.
