We are actively hiring staff for the fall of 2020 at our camp in Northern Wisconsin.

Fall Camp will offer a safe setting for kids to complete their schooling requirements while offering opportunities for social and emotional growth they would traditionally gain in a school setting. Days at camp will consist of school in the morning and early afternoon, followed by various structured activities in athletics, water sports, creative arts, and adventure programming. Weekends will take on a more relaxed atmosphere and will give kids and staff alike the chance to explore the beautiful sights that autumn in Northern Wisconsin has to offer.
