Youth Programming

After School & Summer Camp

We provide affordable, in-person after school and summer programming for youth.

East Side Express

The Eastside Express (ESX) is a low cost, 7-week half-day summer camp for up to eighty (80) 7-12 year olds. ESX offers a host of recreational and cultural activities daily. In addition, the camp is structured to provide teens with first-experience employment as camp support staff.

Festival Internship Program

Teens will join Wil-Mar’s festival team and help plan and implement Madison's line-up of incredible summer festivals, with a focus on Fête de Marquette, in particular.

This is a paid intern program and successful applicants will be introduced to the behind-the-scenes of festival and community event planning.

In between festivals, interns will support efforts to maintain festival inventory supplies, property, and event landscapes.
