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. This year, we’re continuing to offer camps on popular themes including nature art, beachcombing, fairy houses, and animal care, while also adding camps focused on outdoor games, working with wildlife, and nocturnal animals.
2021 Registration
We had an incredible response to our member lottery. Thank you to all of the families that participated!
The camp calendar is online. You can also download a pdf list of our 2021 camp schedule to complement our online camp calendar. We have currently have openings in the following camps:
- Artists in the Wild | Monday, August 9 – Thursday, August 12, 2021 | 12:30pm – 3:15pm (Entering 1st Grade)
- Creatures of the Night | Monday, August 9 – Friday, August 13, 2021 | 12:30pm – 3:30pm (Entering 4th-6th Grade)
To register for any of the above open camps, please fill out a Camper Profile for each child, as well as one Camp Registration form per family. Registration forms are now being processed on a first-come, first-served basis in the order they are received. Families will receive camp confirmations and invoices within 2 business days of submitting their forms. Invoices can be paid online.
If camps are full, there may be an option to add your child to the wait list. Wait lists can accommodate a maximum of 20 campers and will be closed after they reach maximum capacity. Wait lists can be found on each individual camp event on our camp calendar.
2021 Safety Guidelines
Though we know that a lot may change before June, the health and safety of our campers and their families will remain our top priority. Following our successful 2020 camp season, we’ll rely on masks, outdoor classrooms, frequent hand washing/sanitizing, and social distancing to make our 2021 camp season both safe and fun! Updated safety guidelines will be sent to participating families prior to the start of the 2021 camp season, but you can read our 2020 camp safety guidelines in more detail here.
Camper Profile
Submit this secure, online form for each child, prior to submitting your family’s Camp Registration form. This profile includes a health history and emergency care plan, as well as childcare enrollment information. An automated email reply will be sent after each profile has been received.
Camper Profiles are not required to be submitted for children enrolling in Hand-in-Hand week-long camps or for children who have a Student Profile on file from the 2020-2021 school year, required for Field Days, Homeschool, and Nature Mornings program participation.
This year, due to licensing, immunization forms are required for only preschool (K4 & K5) campers. These forms are not required for initial registration, and can be mailed, dropped off, or faxed directly to the Center (414-352-6091) from the child’s doctor’s office and must be submitted prior to their first day of camp. Parents may also fill out this form, especially if they have chosen to opt-out of certain immunizations.
Important Camp Notes

To cancel or change camps, please email our registrar at registration@schlitzaudubon.org.
A refund of registration fees, minus a $25 non-refundable deposit, will be given for any camps canceled 14-days or more prior to the first date of camp. There will be no refunds for camps canceled with less than 14-days notice. The cancellation policy is not dependent on the status of camp waitlists.
If we receive instruction from the CDC, North Shore Health Department, or other camp-related officials that camp programming should be discontinued, we will offer camp families a pro-rated refund.
Lunch
At this time, lunch supervision will not be available for the Summer Camp 2021 season. If a camper is enrolled in both a morning and afternoon camp session within the same week, they must be picked up in between camp sessions.
Medication Administration
If your camper may require medication while at camp, please complete a Medication Information and Authorization Form prior to your child’s first day of camp.
