Badger Camp Receives Grant from Clarence Gribble Trust of the Platteville Community Fund

The Clarence Gribble Trust of the Platteville Community Fund has donated $1,000 to Wisconsin Badger Camp.  This grant is for Wisconsin Badger Camp’s Campership Program, which gives financial support to any camper who cannot afford to support the camp fee.  The Clarence Gribble Trust of the Platteville Community Fund’s grant will specifically support our Grant County campers who will attend camp this summer.

The Clarence Gribble Trust of the Platteville Community Fund is in place to provide financial help to organizations that better the community.  Bettering the Community can involve art, education, environment, or human services.  This grant assists Wisconsin Badger Camp immensely because the camp does not receive state or federal funding.  Kayla Leibfried, Development/Communications Director stated, “Our organization, as well as our Grant County campers greatly appreciates this grant.  On behalf of our staff, Board of Directors, and most importantly, our campers, thank you to the Platteville Community Fund.”

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.  If you or someone else you know would like more information on how to make a donation or for tour information please call Wisconsin Badger Camp at (608) 348-9689 or visit our website at: www.badercamp.org.
