and Rokdim Chicago present a weekend to remember!
March 19-22, 2026
About Camp
It's not the first time two camps joined together to create one even bigger camp. In fact, it's not the first time Hilulim has joined together with Chicago dancers to hold a camp on their turf!
We at Hilulim have been hearing for years from many of our dancers to BRING BACK HILULIM! So, we are doing it, along with our friends from Rokdim Chicago (Camp Beketzev Acher).
Hilulim-Rokdim Chicago promises to be a great dance experience to remember... you won't want to miss it!
The Venue
Hilulim - Rokdim Chicago is an all-inclusive camp, with all meals and dancing (and sleeping - if you can find the time!) in one location. Our venue is the Holiday Inn Chicago NW in Crystal Lake IL.
The Holiday Inn Chicago NW Crystal Lake is a beautiful, environmentally-friendly hotel with many on-site facilities, including an indoor pool, restaurant, gym, business center and more. Sorry/not sorry - it's also smoke-free. View their Website to find out all their details.
