Diego Flores, Day Camp Director

Hi! My name is Diego, and this is my third year with Lincoln Park! I have been working in youth development for about 10 years. Started as a cabin counselor and now working as a Camp Director. Playing basketball and finding a new coffee shop to explore are some of my favorite activities. I hope you are ready for summer because I know I am.

At Lincoln Park, we have an "open door" policy. That means everyone and anyone is welcome into our community. We believe that equity and inclusion are important, but we also believe that not all families are the same and we cater to those needs.

Excited to welcome all to Lincoln Park Day Camp. My goal is to provide another fun summer for all that come through our doors. Can't wait to do all the fun summer activities with all the campers and staff.  please feel free to contact me with any further questions.

STEAM Camp (Ages 7-12)
At our “Science Café”, campers ages 7-12 will gain an appreciation of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math by experiencing how they're intertwined. Activities are designed to promote critical thinking skills and teamwork. Hands-on experiences like building structures and machines and an introduction to 3D printing will certainly inspire our campers.

DATES: June 19 - 23, 2023
HOURS: STEAM Add-on conveniently added during Traditional Day Camp
PRICE: $75 add-on fee
