Winter camp is for campers aged 6-12. Once we have all our campers signed up, they will be divided into groups based on age, so you can be assured your child will be placed with an age-appropriate group!
What do campers need to bring?
Once you’re signed up, you’ll get a full packet of info with everything you’ll need to know closer to the start of camp. But basically, enough layers and gear to be appropriately dressed for winter weather and a lunch. We’ll provide all the fun!
What time is camp?
Camp is always held in December, from 9 AM to 4 PM each day. Campers will need to be transported to and from Riveredge at those times each day. Final day overnight option will have a 9am pickup the following morning.
Do I have to sign up ahead of time?
Yes, please! Pre-registration is required and Winter Camp enrollment is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first served basis, so be sure to register as soon as possible!
What’s the cost?
2024 prices are $135 for members, $150 for non-members, and $40 to add on the Friday overnight option. Not yet a member? Sign up here for discounts on camps, programs, special events, and much more!
Have more than one child interested in attending camp? We offer a multiple child discount! First registration is full price and each additional child will receive 10% off. Camperships are available to assist families in need. Contact Steff Merten to apply for this financial assistance.
Any other questions?
We’re happy to help answer them! Give our camp coordinator, Steff Merten, a call at 262-375-2715 or contact her by email at smerten@riveredge.us
Cancellation Policy: Registrations may be cancelled up to 30 days prior to 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.

Are you a new member to Riveredge, interested in learning more about membership, or looking to meet other members? Take a free tour with a Riveredge membership representative and learn about Riveredge history, your membership, and some great places to go exploring. Hikes will be about a half hour and topics of discussion are guided by the questions in the group. All ages and abilities welcome!
Pre-registration is not required but highly recommended.
SOS! A Riveredge Naturalist has been cooped up in the Coop near Farm Pond and is looking for some curious folks to listen to all they’ve learned about the landscape around them. Explore seasonal nature objects (pelts, bones, stones, dried plants, seeds, or branches), check out an ID book for your hike, and bring your questions.
All ages are welcome! Children must be accompanied by an adult 18+. This program is free to attend, but donations are greatly appreciated! Pre-registration is not required, but helpful.
Planet Earth has just one natural satellite – an oddity in our solar system. Explore the origins of the Moon and humanity’s evolving relationship with it. Jim Hahn will teach us about the Moon’s features, phases, myths, and lore. We’ll be indoors, but if weather permits, we’ll view the Moon outside through telescopes, so please dress warmly.
Jim Hahn is a lifelong amateur astronomer who learned the constellations at eight years old and built a telescope at fifteen. When the sky is not dark and clear, he writes software, rides his bike, and sings in two choirs. Jim is an active member of the Northern Cross Science Foundation, a local astronomy club dedicated to public outreach, and stays current in astronomy by reading books, magazines, and websites on the topic.
This program is for all ages! Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
Members*: $5/person | Non-members: $10/person Pre-registration is not required, but highly recommended as there is limited space.

The Noel J. Cutright Bird Club, in cooperation with the Lake Michigan Bird Observatory and OWBC, will host this annual event at Forest Beach Migratory Preserve, five miles north of Port Washington. The count will begin at 6:30 a.m. on the Bill Cowart Memorial Hawk Watch Platform on the northeast corner of the preserve. The Sit’s 17-foot circle is on the perfectly-sized hawk watch platform at Forest Beach Migratory Preserve. Since 2007, birders have recorded a total of 266 species at Forest Beach. Join us for a half-hour, or a half-day! And there will be donuts for the early birders.
