Champaign-Urbana Winter Break Camps

December 12, 2025 By From The Editors

Winter break camps where Champaign-Urbana area kids can have epic fun

Parents, fear not: Some of the same Champaign-Urbana area institutions that excel at summer camps rev up their programming over winter break as well.

Whether you work full-time, part-time, at-home, overnight, or whatever the case may be, these are great options for parents who need to — or want to — send their kids for at least one of the events listed below. In most cases, paying for single days is possible. These programs all have fun featured front and center — the childcare is just a bonus! Pack a sack lunch and send your child on their merry way.
