Oak Park Education Foundation
About Us
The Oak Park Education Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization that brings artists, architects, scientists, and technology experts into K-8th grade classrooms during the school day and after school at every District 97 school. Our professional partners share their passion for learning while conducting almost 5,000 hands-on minds-on enrichment experiences each school year. OPEF also runs BASE Camp, exceptional summer enrichment delivered in a fun, collaborative environment. BASE Camp was launched 10 years ago as a tiny pilot and has grown into a popular community asset offering more than 60 individual camps to more than 900 children; our summer program helps fund OPEF's free in-school programming.
