In addition to typical daily camp activities, each week at KIDS Camp offers a fun theme. Check them out below!
We’re starting off the summer on the wild side. During the week we will learn about all kinds of creatures. Our safari will take us to the N.E.W. Zoo* to explore the animals that live there.
Get your thinking caps on as we explore the wonderful world of inventions and experiments. A special guest scientist will lead us into this all-around messy fun week!
Summer’s here, so let’s cool off at the Resch Aquatic Center*. Water games and fun will guarantee that no one stays dry this week at KIDS Camp!
Join us for patriotic fun as we celebrate Independence Day with some red, white and blue! Face painting, wacky colored hair and a picnic at Meadowbrook Park* are just some of the great activities happening during this short week at KIDS Camp. Happy Birthday, America!
We’ll spend our mornings with staff from The First Tee®working on our swings and perfecting our putts. On Friday, we’ll travel to Mr. Golf* to practice our new skills.
Learn what it’s like to live on a farm. Get ready for some ole fashion fun from meeting farm animals to making your own homemade ice cream. Yummy!
It’ll be a kickin’ good time as we learn karate moves. We’ll learn punches, kicks and self defense. All skills introduced will be specific to age and development. Parents can join us on Friday for our Karate Demonstration*.
Sharks, whales and octopi, oh my! Our week will include animal games, arts & crafts and we’ll float over to Ashwaubomay Park* for our own underwater adventure.
It’s time to step up to the plate for games galore & sports of all sorts. We’re going to hit one out of the park this week and we’ll travel to Appleton to watch the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers* at an afternoon game.
It’s a celebration all week long. We’ll dress up in Halloween costumes, make Valentine’s Day cards, decorate the KIDS Camp Christmas tree, and so much more. Our celebration will include Platy’s Birthday Party with games and a bounce house.
Send out summer with a twist! Make over just about everything from counselors, games, schedules…the possibilities are endless!
