Week-long orchestra prep at WFB High School with Christine Annin, the WFB orchestra and general music educator. Runs August 17–21, with four sections to pick from — a chance to brush off summer rust and get sharper before fall orchestra starts.
Beginner golf camp from Skyhawks held on the Lydell soccer field. Uses the PGA's SNAG system with plastic clubs and tennis balls, so kids can actually make contact and learn form before stepping onto a course. Four afternoons, Monday through Thursday. All equipment provided; kids bring water and two snacks.
Full-day workshop series at Lydell taught by Cricket Chinese Academy for kids 6-12. Eight standalone Monday or Wednesday sessions covering Chinese culture and traditions — dumpling making, lantern crafts, a dragon boat mini-race, Chinese yo-yo, chess, paper cutting, and kite-making. Pick the days that fit. Peanut-free lunches only.
Full-day camp at Cahill Park Pavilion taught by two Whitefish Bay elementary teachers, Kelly Kubicki and Kevin Lazovik. Days mix playground time, LEGO building, math games, and reading. Tennis shoes only (no Crocs or flip-flops) and kids bring a bagged lunch. Two sections across the summer.
AARP Smart Driver Course at Range Line Community Center, taught by AARP instructor John Graber. Single morning session for drivers 50 and up. Completing the course typically qualifies drivers for an insurance discount; bring proof of completion to your auto insurer afterward.
Three-day pom and dance clinic at WFB High School run by the Blue Duke Dancers, open to kids entering K4 through 5th grade. Kids learn a routine they can then perform at a WFB Varsity home football game. T-shirt and pom poms are included.
PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience for ages 10 and up in the WFB High School fieldhouse pool.
