Sign Up for Old World Wisconsin Day Camps


A group of day campers raise their hands to answer a question inside Old World Wisconsin's one-room Raspberry School.

With more record-setting Wisconsin winter weather still ahead ahead of us, it may seem a bit early to be thinking about making summer plans for your kids, but day camps like those offered by Old World Wisconsin tend to fill up quickly. Day camps held in a genuine historic setting provide youngsters with a truly unique, firsthand experience "living" history the way their peers did more than a century ago. Entering their fifth year, the popular day camps have made some changes in response to visitor feedback, including more camps with art and nature themes as well as more one-day camps to accommodate parents who have to travel a distance for their children to enjoy a day-camp experience.

For a more in-depth look at Old World Wisconsin's day camp programs, check out the variety of weeklong camps as well as shorter camps lasting between one and four days. For more information on day camp dates, hours, fees and other details, see our visitor information page. And, to see what fun some of our past campers had, visit our day camp photo gallery.
