Summer Camp Music Festival is a jam music festival held each Memorial Day weekend at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois. It began in 2001 and is a joint project between Jay Goldberg Events & Entertainment and Jam Productions.

The music festival features a variety of activities. There is a Kids Camp area where the coordinators make sure that there are plenty of activities for children. This is a family-friendly area where an adult must accompany the child and participate in the fun. The Kids Camp parade allows kids to dress up in costumes furnished by the festival or made by the kids themselves. The parade route encompasses the festival site, passing through the campgrounds.

In 2008, the Summer Camp Music Festival featured 6 stages: the Moonshine Stage; the Sunshine Stage; the Camping Stage; the Late Night Stage; the Campfire Stage; and, new in 2008, the Star Shine Stage. The festival has featured the band moe. each year of its existence. Summer Camp 2008 was broadcast live online on iClips. In 2009 the festival features a Hot Air Balloon ride and is sponsored in part by Major League Baseball.
