Our summer resident registration officially opened on Monday, April 24 and we had many excited community members getting enrolled in their programs! This summer, there are new enrichment classes, free and fun special events/activities, sport leagues, plenty of fitness opportunities and everything in between. With programs starting for those as early as 9 months all the way through our senior friends, there is something for EVERYONE!   

Programs start in early June, so make sure you register early to ensure you get in the classes you want before they fill up!

Raising Confident, Competent Children Seminar

In partnership with Children’s Wisconsin, we are offering the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program. This is a highly effective program, backed up with more than 35 years of research, and provides parents with evidence-based, practical parenting strategies. These strategies help parents raise confident, happy children and develop strong relationships. Discussions are targeted towards certain challenging behaviors and parents leave the discussion groups with a parenting plan that they created during the sessions. Scholarships are available upon request. Please contact Shelly Strasser at [email protected] or 414-604-4937.
