Winnetka & North Shore Summer Camps - 2013 While the weather outside is frightful (can you sing along?) it is actually time to starting thinking about summer camps for your children. The North Shore area, including Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glenview, Northfield, Glencoe, Evanston and Highland Park have many good programs.

Where to Cool Off in Winnetka and the North ShoreUPDATED 2022 It's summer, it's hot, what to do? Seeking a place to cool off seems like a done deal. But the beaches are not for everyone, every day. Sometimes you just need a . . . slide . . . or diving board!
