Join the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) and Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR) as we unveil our 4 newly remodeled sleeping cabins at the Madison School Forest!
The Madison School Forest is located 20 miles outside of Madison and spans 305 acres of rolling hills, ancient sandstone cliffs, and rich natural history. Owned by MMSD and managed in collaboration with MSCR, it is registered in Wisconsin’s School Forest program and serves as a living classroom for MMSD students and a peaceful retreat for the community.
Come explore the updated accommodations, tour the scenic grounds, connect with our community and celebrate the future of outdoor education in Madison.
