Our Open Positions
ABOUT SOMERSET WISCONSIN
Somerset, Wisconsin, is known for its many camping establishments that are located right along the Apple River. If you enjoy live music, summer concerts are held every year at the Somerset Amphitheater as well as late-night bands playing in Village Park. This rapidly growing area gives you the true small-town experience with annual festivals (Pea Soup Day!), parades (the practice team participates every year!), and a variety of local small businesses. Just a short ride to the Twin Cities and you have access to great shopping and restaurants in an urban setting.
