Extended Learning Adventures

Adventure Information

• Extended Learning Opportunities is sponsoring several adventures with community partners for students.
• Most adventures are FREE of charge for MPS students and city of Milwaukee residents (MPS students receive priority registration).
• Adventures may be held during non-school days and winter, spring, and summer breaks.
• Some adventures require parent drop-off and pickup as well as a bag lunch.
• Families that want to participate in Non-School Day Adventures must apply here. Please note that student placement is based on a first-come, first-served basis. However, priority will be given to students who have not previously participated in Non-School Day Adventures.

Registration Reminders

• Space is limited. If submitting more than one registration, it may be necessary to limit one opportunity per child based on availability. 
• MPS students receive priority registration. Non-MPS students will be notified via email if spots become available only if all necessary forms are completed. Priority registration is also given to students who have never participated in an extended learning adventure through ELO. 
• PLEASE NOTE: When completing forms, make sure to select the grade based on the criteria listed.
• Families will receive an email communication confirming enrollment status. Email addresses should be current and accurate on registration forms.
• Registration will close either when full or one week prior to the start date.
• If it becomes necessary to cancel your child's registration, please contact (414) 475-8238 or email elo@milwaukee.k12.wi.us. Non-attendance may affect future participation.
