SummerTYME Camps is a program of the TYME OUT Youth Center, a non-profit retreat center founded in 1980. For more than fifteen years, SummerTYME Camps have brought kids from diverse backgrounds together to a safe and fun environment about 30 miles outside Milwaukee. Our camps provide middle school youth (entering grades 6-9) with a six-day, five-night residential camp experience. SummerTYME Camps create an environment which fosters Character, Confidence and Community through focused, themed instruction (by coordinators who are experts in their field) as well as recreational activities. Our belief is that a child who wants to come to camp should have the opportunity; no child should be turned away because of financial limitations. Full and partial fee assistance is available to those who qualify.
