Summer is a time for exploration and discovery; where learning and play go hand-in-hand. Our exciting summer camp program offers a wide variety of exciting and new adventures for school- age children.

It is an opportunity to have a ton of fun making new friends, trying new things, practicing new-found skills and creating memories that will last a lifetime.


  • Full day camp from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

  • Summer Odyssey will run from June 12th to August 27th.

  • The program includes 1-2 field trips per week with destinations such as the Aldo Leopold Nature Center, the Children’s Museum, bowling, splash pads, Urban Air, Sky Zone, and more. A detailed calendar will be provided once arrangements are finalized.

  • Transportation will primarily be organized via a private bus service with additional support from the Madison Transit System. For parks/locations near The Learning Gardens, we will be going on walking excursions.

  • Casey, our music teacher, will be providing a special music program for our Summer Odyssey program. He will be working with the children to write their own personal song and record it with him.

  • Spanish, American Sign Language, and Art extracurriculars are also included in the program as well as a variety of other activities including reading book club, a writing workshop, cooking skills training, and many more.

  • We plan to utilize individuals from UW Madison and other local organizations to engage and educate the children.

  • Chef Alex will prepare an a.m. snack, lunch, and a p.m. snack each day.

  • Each student will receive two Learning Gardens T-shirts to wear during the field trips. These shirts will be laundered on-site weekly, and participants will get to take them home at the end of the Summer Odyssey Program.

  • All food, snacks, t-shirts, field trip transportation, and entry fees, if any, are included in the tuition and fees.
