Experts from Midwest Environmental Advocates and the Center for Water Policy at UW-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences will join Director John Rakowski in a discussion about the environmental impacts of data centers. The Center for Water Policy will share their research on data center water consumption, electricity use, and public project transparency on a national level. Midwest Environmental Advocates will review water and transmission line information about the recently approved Port Washington data center. The speakers will focus on facts, the need for transparency, and keeping the public informed. This panel will help us all learn more about the environmental impacts of proposed data centers in Wisconsin. There will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and learn how to get involved in community feedback regarding data center projects.

Winter Camp 2025 Session 2

Winter Camp Camp is back for winter!

FAQ:

What ages is this camp for?

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.

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
