Wendy Garrity Scholarship Supports Wisconsin Badger Camp

Wisconsin Badger Camp is the proud recipient of the $200 Wendy Garrity Scholarship. The scholarship will financially support individuals with developmental disabilities from the Prairie Du Chien area who attend Wisconsin Badger Camp.

The Prairie Education Association started this scholarship in memory of Wendy Garrity. “Wendy was a co-worker, friend and union member in the Prairie Du Chien School District for many years,” fourth grade teacher Rita Breuer said.

“We are very grateful that the Prairie Education Association has chosen Badger Camp as a recipient of this scholarship, and excited to work with the Prairie Education for many years to come” Wisconsin Badger Camp Development/ Communication Director Kayla Smith said. “This scholarship will give an individual the opportunity to experience swimming, hiking, camping, and friends that last a lifetime at Wisconsin Badger Camp this summer,” Smith said.

Wisconsin Badger Camp is an independent nonprofit organization located approximately 10 miles south of Prairie du Chien and serves approximately 900 individuals with developmental disabilities each summer. Badger Camp relies on the community’s time, talent, and financial assistance to provide for its campers. Camp starts June 9 and runs through August 16.  If you or someone else you know would like more information on how to make a donation or tour information please call Wisconsin Badger Camp at (608) 348-9689 or visit our website at: www.badgercamp.org.
