Four-morning basketball fundamentals camp for kids going into 1st-3rd grade, held in the WFB Middle School New Gym. Coach Kevin Lazovik (former WFB HS head coach) walks players through dribbling, passing, shooting, pivoting, lay-ups, and defensive position. Lunch is served midway each day, so it's a true 9am-1pm block rather than a half-day.
Full-day summer camp at Richards Elementary for kids starting K4 or K5 in fall 2026. Each week runs Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 5:30pm, with a different theme and field trips to parks, the zoo, and the pool. Register by the week — up to eight weeks across the summer.
Half-day camp built specifically for kids heading into K4 or K5 in the fall. Runs in classrooms at Cumberland and Richards Elementary so kids get familiar with a real school environment before the year starts. Focus is on independence and social skills — six sections run across the summer.
Full-day Mad Science camp at Lydell, all chemistry. Kids make a mini lava lamp, mix Slippery Slime, blend a super-bouncy ball, test molecule speed, and build a bubble galaxy. Hands-on the whole day — the chemistry sneaks in through the projects.
Five-day drama camp at Lydell for kids 6-12, run by Afterschool Enrichment Solutions. Mornings, 10am to 11:30am, for one week. Good entry-level theater option for kids interested in stage work without a heavy time commitment.
Week-long ultimate frisbee camp for 8-14 year-olds, taught by Madison Radicals professional players. Held on the turf football field at Homestead High School in Mequon, with the main gym as weather backup. Every kid gets a Madison Radicals frisbee.
Little Samurai martial arts for 4-6 year-olds at the Lydell School gym, Mondays and Wednesdays from early July through mid-August. Six-week run with longtime instructor Phil Sauer of Young American Martial Arts Club. Two sections to choose from.
Half-day preschool camp at Lydell for kids turning 3 by June 22, 2026. Mornings cover arts and crafts, story time, and free play in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Toilet-trained is the only hard requirement; pack a water bottle and a nut-free snack each day. Three sessions across the summer.
Twice-a-week pre-ballet at Lydell for 3–4 year-olds, taught by Miss Ceci Broussard. Kids move to different musical tempos, learn introductory ballet terminology, and build coordination and listening skills. Active clothing and ballet slippers recommended.
Twice-a-week evening pottery for high schoolers in the WFBHS ceramics studio, taught by art teacher Tanner Teipel. Beginners through advanced — wheel-throwing techniques scaled to where each kid is. Demos cover bowls, vases, mugs, and bottles plus glazing and altered forms. Last class is for picking up fired pieces.
Twice-a-week ballet and creative dance for 5–7 year-olds at Lydell, taught by Miss Ceci Broussard. Mixes preliminary ballet steps with creative movement to different tempos of music — coordination and listening skills come along for the ride. Ballet slippers and active clothes recommended.
Recreational tree climbing at Riveredge Nature Center in Saukville for kids 7 and up. Trained Riveredge Adventure facilitators rope kids into the forest canopy — swing from a branch, climb to the top, or try a bat hang. Two sections available.
