The school-based MPS Adaptive Athletics program is a cross-categorical, competition-based athletics program for MPS students between ages 6-21 with a disability. The program targets individuals who have difficulty participating in regular education athletics, as they need adaptations in time, equipment, rules, and/or specific events.
Milwaukee Recreation offers a variety of adult sports leagues throughout the year. A player must be at least 18 years of age at the time of registration.
Milwaukee Recreation understands how important swimming is as a lifelong skill, so we make sure people throughout the area are afforded every opportunity to learn.
The Arts Internship Program through the MPS Earn to Learn program serves as a paid opportunity for high school students to explore careers in the arts while also gaining practical and applicable job skills and work experience.
Milwaukee Recreation offers before- and after-school care through Child Care Camps, Community Learning Centers, and Safe Places.
Driver education is offered in the Fall, Spring and Summer through MILWAUKEE RECREATION. The registration fee includes classroom instruction and Behind The Wheel lessons. Behind the Wheel lessons will be scheduled after students have passed the permit test.
We have developed an innovative and progressive approach to the delivery of youth sports opportunities for elementary school children. Youth sports are more school driven with each school having all of the information in advance to facilitate planning for the upcoming season more efficiently.
