Now that summer is here, we can welcome June with a full line-up of fairs, concerts and a number of other ways to have family fun
Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana
Summer rushed in before we could even blink and now we are here to have some fun! We know your summer schedule looks different from your school year schedule and we also know that your summer schedule looks different than your neighbor’s summer schedule… and their neighbor’s summer schedule… and the summer schedule from your friend who lives across C-U. There are a LOT of different ways to “do summer” around here and we are here to point you towards the options available. Let’s take a quick moment to highlight some of the things people search for the most this time of year on chambanamoms.com:
- Summer Fun for Families in Champaign-Urbana – When you want everything related to summer in one convenient spot, start here.
- Champaign-Urbana Summer Camps for Kids – If you are still looking for some summer camps to send your kids to this summer, we have a long list of youth programming in Champaign-Urbana for you.
- Champaign-Urbana Area Summer Fairs and Festivals – From small-town favorites to county fairs and everything in between, we tell you where you can find funnel cakes, demo derbies and carnivals a short drive from home.
- 31+ Unique Summer Day Trips from Champaign-Urbana – When you have a day and are unsure of what to do, we have ideas for places you can hop in the car and get a change of scenery, without a hotel stay involved.
There is so much more available on the site than that, but for this week, we will start there. You can always visit chambanamoms.com to see the latest and to search what is available.

Join chambanamoms and Christie Clinic at Sholem Aquatic Center for a FREE evening of swimming under the stars!
From 8 – 10pm on Monday, June 2, bring the family for an evening of swimming. Concessions will be open for purchasing snacks, and the pool will be staffed with lifeguards. You do not need a pool pass to attend this evening swim! Thanks to Christie Clinic for sponsoring this event, and to Sholem Aquatic Center for hosting!
