USM Summer Camps

For 35 years, families across the greater Milwaukee area have trusted USM Summer Camps as the ultimate destination for exceptional enrichment, academic, and athletic programs. At USM Summer Camps, children have the opportunity to discover new talents, build lasting friendships, and dive into a wide range of interests, all within a flexible schedule that lets them create a personalized summer experience. Guided by our dedicated faculty and staff, families return each year with confidence, knowing their children will enjoy a memorable and enriching summer.

We are thrilled to announce that our 35th year is bringing some of our most exciting additions yet. This year, we're launching a brand new Sports Camp! Designed for young athletes of all skill levels, this specialized camp offers focused training, skill refinement, and team-building across multiple sports, all centered on fun, positive coaching, and healthy competition. For our older, future leaders, the new Counselors in Training program provides an invaluable opportunity for mentorship, leadership development, and hands-on experience working with younger campers. This is the perfect bridge for teens ready to transition from camper to camp staff.

Registration through the school’s UltraCamp registration program is now open. If you haven't done so already, click here to create your UltraCamp account.

We invite you to explore our updated offerings and see what will make our 35th year the most memorable one yet.

American Camp Association Accreditation

USM Summer Camps are now officially accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA)—the only national accrediting body for camps of all types. This recognition follows an extensive review of more than 200 standards in safety, health, staff training, and risk management. We’re thrilled to have met every single one. ACA accreditation affirms our commitment to excellence and to providing a safe, enriching experience for every camper and staff member.
