Winter break camps spice up holidays

Whether it's basketball, tennis, chess or art that captures a child's imagination, parents can probably find it at one of the 13 winter break camps being offered this holiday season by the City of Evanston's Recreation Division. With options that range from drop-in programs to those that meet for one week or two, half-day or full-day, there is a camp to meet almost every interest and schedule.

Choose from such specialty camps as the Ecology Center's EcoFreeze Camp on global warming or the Young Artists Program (YAP) for youth age 12-15. There are also camps devoted to specific sports, including Winter Soccer with ETHS's Marx Succes and the Youth Holiday Tennis Camps.

Most camps start Wednesday, Dec. 26. For more information, call 847-866-2900.
