Potter's Forest is our primary site and home to our high ropes course. The course is located on 50.55 acres of land south of Milwaukee, in Hales Corners Wisconsin, and has been designated as a school without walls by the Milwaukee School Board -- as it serves thousands of students and staff members each year.

Wading Pools

Columbia Playground Cool Spot

Cool Spots are sprinklers on the playground connected to fire hydrants. On days when the temperature is predicted to be 85 ̊ and above, or when the city of Milwaukee calls a heat advisory day, all Cool Spots will be open. For those hot summer days, you can also keep cool at a wading pool. Cool Spots and Wading Pools open June 19.
