MPS Overnight Summer Camp Opportunities
Milwaukee Public Schools provides FREE overnight summer camp experiences to MPS students currently enrolled in grades 4-8! This opportunity allows our young people to discover new interests, expand horizons, and experience the wonderful outdoors. Find out more information here MPS Overnight Camp Opportunities
In addition, this year, Milwaukee’s Camps for Kids Program will award over 100 MPS students with a “full campership” to attend a weeklong residential summer camp in Wisconsin. This is made possible through a partnership with the Camps for Kids program. Camps for Kids is a separate program from the MPS Overnight Camps program, which allows MPS students to attend free camps through an initiative made possible by Milwaukee Public Schools’ ESSER lll funding.
Have a wonderful weekend!
