CAMP 1302 at Rose of Light MBC

CAMP 1302 summer day camp, which was named for our address, is an outreach of the Rose of

Light M. B. C. (ROL). Located in Chicago’s Englewood community, CAMP 1302 has become a vital

resource to the families in the neighborhood. Since its founding in 2012, CAMP 1302 has served

more than 500 Campers. We provide a safe environment for children during out-of-school

times. We begin each day at 9:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Daily, we

serve the campers’ breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack at no additional cost to their

families. To ensure we are meeting the needs of families throughout the summer months, our

program is in session for five to six weeks from July through August. Each day, each camper will

be sure to have the best day camp experience of their life through activities that provide campers

with academic enhancement and creativity through reading, arts and crafts, field trips,

teambuilding and life skills through group play and team sports.

And we have a community garden, called the Soul Garden. It is a space for play, healing and to be one with nature.
