Welcome to Halfway Creek Summer Day Camp!

Welcome to Holmen Park & Recreation Department’s first summer day camp program – Halfway Creek Summer Day Camp! We are excited to have your kids join us this summer, and we are looking forward to a fun filled summer of fun in the great outdoors. This camp will be housed at the Halfway Creek East Shelter, but activities throughout the day will be held mainly outdoors exploring all that the natural world has to offer. This camp is geared towards children between the ages of 6 and 10 and will provide care for a maximum of 30 children per day. Camp will run Monday thru Friday. Scheduled camp activities run from 8:30am to 4:00pm daily, however campers can be dropped off as early as 7:30am. All campers must be picked up by 5:30pm each day. The first week of camp will start June 9 and the final day is August 15.

Included in your $165.00 weekly registration fee are two daily snacks, a camp T-shirt, any field trip fees & transportation, as well as all of the supplies and materials needed for your child to have a fun filled week at camp! Parents must pack a lunch for their child each day as lunch is not provided.

Registration for all 10 weeks of Halfway Creek Day Camp open online on Monday, March 3 at 7:00am. You can register in person, but our office does not open until 8:00am so there is no guarantee that spots will still be available. You will register your child PER week, giving you the flexibility to register for as few or as many weeks of Camp that fits your family’s summer plans. You may register online (registration link coming soon!) or in person at the Holmen Park & Recreation office. You will find our Halfway Creek Camp Parent Handbook linked below. Enrollment forms can be found below.

Upon completing registration, you will be emailed (to the email listed on your child’s registration account) a packet of enrollment paperwork within 72 hours. PLEASE fill out and return ASAP. Your child is not permitted to attend camp until the packet is filled out, signed and returned. 

Frequently Asked Questions

No! But you can if you want! We register by the week to allow flexibility for families who may have summer vacations or other things planned on certain weeks.

Halfway Creek Summer Day Camp is $165 per week, per child.

Your $165 weekly registration fee includes a t-shirt for your camper, all supplies for the week’s activities, 2 snacks per day, and any applicable field trip expenses/fees.

Full payment is required at the time of registration. If your family would like to discuss a payment plan, please call Alex at the Holmen Park & Rec Office at 608-526-6318.

Camp will run between 7:30am and 5:30pm, Monday thru Friday. Drop-off will begin at 7:30am at the Halfway Creek East Shelter. If drop-off is at another location, parents will be notified ASAP via the email they put down on their registration. Please have your camper there by 8:30am each day so Camp can start their activities that may require leaving the East Shelter.

You must pick your camper up at the East Shelter NO LATER than 5:30pm. Please see our late pick-up policy in the Camp Handbook for more information on late pick-up fees.

Because Halfway Creek Summer Day Camp is held mostly outdoors, we will have contingency plans in place. In the case of rain, Camp will be held inside the East Shelter. If there are heat advisories or storm warnings which require more shelter, we will move Camp to the Halfway Creek West Shelter or the Holmen Library’s Community Room. All parents will be notified of these changes via the email used on their camper’s registration.

Yes! We are planning anywhere from 3-5 field trips this summer. We also will have some special guests come to Camp for fun and exciting activities!
