     Wisconsin Badger Camp is pleased to announce it is the recipient of a $3,000 grant from the La Crosse Community Foundation. The grant will financially support 49 individuals with developmental disabilities from La Crosse County who attend Wisconsin Badger Camp.

     A continuing supporter of Badger Camp, the La Crosse Community Foundation is centered on enriching the lives of individuals in the greater La Crosse area by being a community resource and providing services to donors, nonprofits agencies and the community-at-large.

The generous contribution towards the 49 individuals with developmental disabilities from La Crosse County plays a vital role in the success of Badger Camp by giving them the opportunity to come to camp and participate in outdoor recreational activities regardless of their financial situation.

      “We truly appreciate the continued support from the La Crosse Community Foundation,” Development Director Kayla Leibfried said. “Our Campership Program relies on the generosity of foundations like the La Crosse Community Foundation,” Leibfried 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.
