A summer of exploration, new friends, and adventure
That sounds like a summer at Riveredge! Beloved by generations of ‘Riveredge Kids’ a week of summer camp at Riveredge is like no other.
“It was epic and I had the best time of my life.”

Online Registration
Registration for the Nature Journeys Summer Camps will be taken through our online registration system.
When registering, make sure you have all the medical information (insurance, primary doctor, medication, etc.) handy for the child you are registering. You will have to fill out a medical information form during the registration process. Online registration will close the Wednesday before the week of a camp. Spaces may still be available at that time, call 262-375-2715 for availability.
Extended Care
Before and After Care for Summer Campers! Riveredge is happy to provide before & after camp extended care for our full-day campers. Our programs allow campers to spend just a little more time exploring Riveredge with earlier drop off and later pick up. Camp counselors will encourage your camper’s imagination through games and activities and they will have plenty of time for free play in our natural playground. Drop off as early as 7:30-8:45am and afternoons 4:15-5:30pm.
Fees: $50 for am and pm (full week); $30 for either am OR pm (full week);
$10 per care period per day
Payment is due two weeks prior to your child(ren)’s camp week.
Membership Discount
Riveredge Membership starts at $40 and discounts on camps range from $20-$30 based on the camp. That means that a basic membership nearly pays for itself on day one and still provides many other benefits all year round!
Multiple Camps/Children Discount
If you register for multiple camps (they can be for the same child or different children), you will pay the normal fee for the first camp and receive a 10% discount off of each additional camp. Please note, in order to receive both the multiple camps and multiple child (i.e. signing up 2 children for 2 camps a piece) discount or the multiple camps for a single child in the same registration, you must pay 50% of your registration cost and contact Riveredge directly at 262-375-2715 to have the remaining balance adjusted.
Payment
50% of camp fees are due at the time of registration. Full payment for all camps is due by May 1st. You may make payments on your account at anytime through the online registration system using your log-in information. If full payment is not received by May 1st, we can not guarantee that your child’s space in camp will be held.
Switching Camps
If you’d like to move your camp registration to another camp session, we are happy to accommodate those requests if space allows. Each date change is subject to a $30 fee. Please contact Riveredge directly at 262-375-2715 to make a date change request.
Waitlists
Riveredge camps are popular and fill quickly! Waitlist will be formed when camps have reached their capacity. It is very beneficial to put your name on waitlists as spots do open up due to family scheduling conflicts. There is no fee to put your child on the waitlist. If a space becomes available, you will be contacted via email. You have 48 hours to confirm the spot and pay the deposit. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours, a call will be made and you will have an additional 48 hours. If the office does not hear from you, your child will be removed from the waitlist. Timing will be at the discretion of the camp director.
Cancellations
Registrations may be canceled up to 30 days prior to the week of your camp to receive a refund of registration fees minus a $50 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel less than 30 days before your week of camp, refunds are only given for medical reasons and family emergencies. These refunds are also subject to the $50 non-refundable deposit.
