Knights of Columbus Clowns Support Wisconsin Badger Camp



Knights of Columbus Clowns Continue to Support Wisconsin Badger Camp


            Wisconsin Badger Camp is proud to announce it is the recipient of a $400 donation from Knights of Columbus Clowns. The continuous hard work of the Knights of Columbus Clowns is greatly appreciated.  The money is raised by the Knights of Columbus Clowns participating in parades throughout the summer. This is a great example of how something simple can do great things.  This donation will provide financial assistance to local individuals with developmental disabilities that will attend Wisconsin Badger Camp this summer.
Located 10 miles south of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin Badger Camp is a non-profit organization that serves individuals with developmental disabilities by providing quality outdoor recreational experiences. Wisconsin Badger Camp accepts campers regardless of age, severity of a disability, or financial situation.  Last year, 900 individuals with developmental disabilities had the opportunity to experience swimming, hiking, camping, and making friends that last a lifetime at Wisconsin Badger Camp. 
The Knights of Columbus Clowns embodies the spirit of volunteerism through the time they spend volunteering and funds they have donated to help improve the quality of Wisconsin Badger Camp’s programs.
“On behalf of our board of directors, staff, and most importantly our campers, we would like to thank the Knights of Columbus Clowns for their donation to Wisconsin Badger Camp,” Wisconsin Badger Camp Development/Communications Director, Kayla Smith said.  “Wisconsin Badger Camp is extremely proud of our relationship with the Knights of Columbus and is very appreciative of their efforts to help us fulfill our mission of serving individuals with developmental disabilities. With Badger Camp growing every year, we are extremely grateful for what the Knights of Columbus do for Wisconsin Badger Camp,” Smith said.
