Fall break camps and childcare in Champaign-Urbana
For many, fall break isn’t a break at all — just another week of the year when the kids aren’t in school.
There are a bunch of options in Champaign-Urbana for fall break childcare, mostly for children of elementary age. So what did we do? We made a list! These options span Oct. 8-9 and Oct. 12-16, unless noted otherwise. Both Champaign Unit 4 School District and Urbana School District 116 have days off on some or all of these dates.
Nearly all fall break programming in Champaign-Urbana is per-day registration, though some locations will offer a discount for those who sign up for all days in the week.
Looking for more activities during the week off from school? Make sure to check out our ideas for fall fun on a budget. And you can always consult our full calendar for family friendly activities.
