Sponsored since its inception by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, WI, Edgewood High School of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic high school whose mission is to educate the whole student for a life of learning, service and personal responsibility through a rigorous academic curriculum embracing the Sinsinawa Dominican values of Truth, Compassion, Justice, Partnership and Community.

The SNL member and comedic actor went to school and graduated from here. During one homecoming at Edgewood, Farley became famous for his prank of releasing 3 pigs into the school, numbered 1, 2, and 4. The search for pig number three lasted weeks.

American artist Georgia O'Keefe also went to school here as a boarder, when the facility was named Sacred Heart Academy, from 1901 to 1902.

The Red Arrow Camp For Boys is located on the north shore of Trout Lake in north central Wisconsin. It was founded in 1920 on a former Indian village/logging company/resort site.

The former Saturday Night Live standout and comedy actor Chris Farley was a camper here, and later became counselor. He developed some of his comedic skills here in the yearly Counselor Stunt Night.

His brother, Kevin Farley, recalled of the camp plays:
"He was always the lead and always had the big singing number. He sang Elvis' "Teddy Bear." All the parents would come up for the play and they'd be buzzing about how well he did that."
