Elementary Programming
After-School
Bayview provides quality out-of-school academic, social, cultural, recreational, and wellness programs for children ages 6-11. With close connections to teachers and school staff, program leaders reinforce academic lessons, provide help with homework and bridge school-parent communication gaps when needed. Arts programming elevates voices and celebrates cultural traditions. Leadership opportunities foster both positive youth development and contributions to the community. Social and emotional wellness programming works to engage youth in healthy and mutually respectful relationships with their peers. Programs are offered Monday 1:15-4 pm, and Tuesday through Friday 2:45-5:30 pm.
summer camp
An eight-week summer camp with a focus on outdoor recreation, creativity, wellness, and team-building. Numerous partnerships expand the reach of this camp. For example, thanks to our friends at Madison Audubon Society, children are able to go on field trips to the UW Arboretum and Devil’s Lake; through a partnership with the Lussier Family YMCA, children have access to free, high quality swimming lessons, making them safe and comfortable around water; and with ongoing support from Wheels for Winners, youth have access to free and safe bikes.
Summer Study
Summer Study is what we call our six-week literacy and math-focused program designed to meet the academic needs of Bayview children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Certified MMSD teachers are hired by Bayview to support academic learning and mitigate learning loss during the summer months. In the familiar on-site environment, kids' confidence grows.
