Summer Camp at Schlitz Audubon

Whether you are a returning family who views camps at Schlitz Audubon as an annual tradition, or a new family who is interested in exploring what we offer, we want our camps to be a highlight of your child’s summer. Our camp offerings include a wide range of topics, including ponding, reptiles, nature art, birding, and popular games—something for everyone!  

2026 Registration  

Our member lottery has ended – thank you to all of the families that participated! Summer Camp registration is now open to all, including the general public, members who missed the lottery, and any families who participated in the lottery and would like to enroll their child in additional camps or waitlists.     

The Camp Calendar now reflects which camps still have available spots, and which camps are sold out. 

Here’s a selection of camps that currently have openings to directly enroll:  

  • Nature School Alumni – Adventures of Chippy the Chipmunk PM | July 20 – 23 | 12:45 – 3:15pm
    Prerequisite: Camper must be currently enrolled in or have completed a full year in our Nature School (Preschool or K4) program. 
  • Entering 1st Grade – Mysteries of Nature PM | Aug 10– 13 | 12:30 – 3:15pm
  • Entering 2nd- 3rd – Fossils and Bones PM | June 22 – 26 | 12:30 – 3:30pm
  • Entering 4th-6th Grade – Junior Ornithologist | July 20 – 24 | 9:00am – 12:00pm
  • Entering 6th-8th Grade – Working with Wildlife | July 13 – 17 | 12:30pm – 3:30pm

If you are interested in registering, you will need to fill out one Family Profile form and one Camp Registration form for your family. Your Camp Registration form will provide our staff with camp selections for each child. For families with multiple children, there is an option to specify that all children must be enrolled in camps during the same week and time slot. Please note that upon submission of the Family Profile, you will receive an email from Jovial to verify your email address. A verified email is required in order to complete registration so your payment info can be sent.    

All registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis in the order they are received. When submitting a form, please only select camps that have openings—any other camps selected will be ignored. You will receive confirmation of your enrollment in a camp or on a waitlist within a few business days.   

Please note, most of the camps that have openings to enroll only have one or two spots, so it is possible by the time you submit your form for an open camp that another family has already claimed that spot before the calendar has had a chance to be updated. In that case, you will be added to the waitlist.  

If you are interested in adding your child to a waitlist for a camp that is sold out, you can do so through the Camp Calendar. Waitlists are capped at a maximum of 20 campers – many of our most popular camps no longer have waitlist availability.  

You can view our 2026 camp offerings on our online Camp Calendar, or  download a pdf list of the 2026 Camp Brochure. (Please note we are not offering 4-day Toddler Summer Camps. However, you can find Audubon Toddlers programs on our events calendar.)

Still have questions about our camp registration process?  Visit our Summer Camp Registration FAQs or email our Registrar.
